So, I think I'll explain my latest thing that leads to downward spirals. I made the names censored for privacy. SO, before I start: I would just like to say that I do NOT hate ANYONE for things like autism or things like that... so, I think I'll start now. even though its summer break, I keep thinking about this, so there is this autistic kid (NO hate) and I have known him since preschool-ish. well now we are not in elementary school and dating and stuff is starting... so, this kid has been acting super weird lately and he had been acting obsessive in some classes last year and, sadly, I had not noticed... later, I had another one of my classes with him and he had said "[my name], I have something to tell you..." and I had been confused and oblivious and I said "yes [his name]?" and then he had said "[my name], I love you..." and I was shocked so I said nothing... time skip to this year, he had also been weird with my friends, but we were sitting near our fav tree (our school safe place) and I had been sitting and laughing with my friends and he had decided to sit next to me and said in my ear in a weird voice: "[my name], you are such a GOOD friend..." and he had reached for my hand and I had pulled back, obviously uncomfortable and my friend (my friend is amazing <333) then DIRECTLY said "oh, she doesn't like physical contact..." BUT, even though I was CLEARLY uncomfortable he had STILL used an excuse, saying "oh, I just wanted to shake hands..." and I wasn't really able to say no even though I was uncomfortable due to peer pressure so I shared an uncomfortable long handshake and he clearly enjoyed that too much. another time, also the most recent time, we were on some bounce houses (it was a field day) and me and my friends were playing d3ad man and, to not get tagged, I had been lying down, and he decided to lay across from me and so I said "oh, do you need anything [his name]?" and he said in that same weird voice "[my name], I really like you as a friend..." and so I went back to playing. later, I had sadly gotten into a conversation and the partial conversation starter that one of us used was crushes... I had been a bit stunned about that so after a few seconds I had said "uhm, do you have any crushes???" and he had said "why do you think i'd have a crush?" in that same husky tone and I had said (half oblivious btw...) "I have a crush on this really cool girl..!" (she was shadowing one day...) and as soon as I said this he immediately walked off mad... later I was also lying down with my friends and he had then walked over and stood over me and I said "uhh, do you need something [his name]..?" and he then walked off again. can I just ask, is it ok to feel uncomfortable? I feel like I shouldn't be uncomfortable even if I feel harassed... to put it lightly, if u scrolled and didn't read at all like a CHUD >:( (please read if you decided not to...), he's acting kinda like a yandere....
