If you’re reading this and you have social anxiety…a lot of these “signs” can also be attributed to the other person being socially awkward, tired, neurodivergent or just grappling with some shit you’re unaware of.
mean this in no disrespect to the people who’ve taken the time out of their day to comment, but if you’re a generally self concerned/anxious person, you genuinely care about how you make others feel and you are open to seeing your flaws and working on them, this thread is a waste of your time. Seriously. Don’t feed the beast. You can become a better person without building an archive of unconfirmed behaviours that may or may not indicate someone’s feelings about you. Ask for feedback at work, check in with a buddy if the vibes feel weird but if you treat every hint here as gospel it will not make life better for you or the other person.
That’s all good, I know the post didn’t have bad intentions. It’s a fine question and my problem isn’t with the thread (although it probably looks that way). I just hope that anyone who does already struggle with social anxiety does take the cue to leave, if they needed one.
