How often do you avoid talking to people you genuinely like?

<p>And why?</p>

<p>I frequently do it, since I need a lot of time to study. But it's also because I fear that we may discover each other to be incompatible if we knew each other more, or that I fear being judged.</p>

<p>Although to be honest, it's also partially because they're not as "exciting" as they used to be. Somehow, talking to people I barely know is too exciting.</p>

<p>I frequently get tired when I talk to people I already know (aka those are the classic symptoms of an introvert). But it's weird how I can get so excited about meeting people I barely know.</p>

<p>If I see someone I know in the hallways or something and I don’t have time to chat, I ignore them. I don’t like awkward hellos only to say goodbye seconds later. If I’m in class with them, I typically talk to them especially if I haven’t talked to them all day.</p>

<p>I only genuinely like, perhaps, seven people at my school. I only talk to three or so of them regularly (the others, once a week or so for quiz team). I don’t really need to avoid talking to people I like.</p>

<p>I can think of only two people that I genuinely like. I tend to avoid talking to them as well because I do not like becoming too emotionally attached to people.</p>

<p>Lol this thread is a tad depressing.</p>

<p>i never avoid talking to people i genuinely like. i love talking to people i actually like…</p>

7

<p>I try not to, but inevitably do if I’m feeling down. (not all that often though)</p>

8

<p>I do. I avoid talking to my neighbor/friend/crush, mostly because our friendship fell apart. She knew I liked her and stopped talking that much with me because of it. I don’t want to take the time anymore to fix it.</p>

<p>^ :frowning: I think you should try!</p>

<p>Only when a friend texts me just to talk and I don’t feel like texting.</p>

<p>almost never. there are so few people i genuinely like…! only about 4 people i want to talk to all the time. but there are people i like okay that i avoid speaking to all the time if i dont have the energy to keep up a conversation vivaciously. and i ignore texts all the time.</p>

<p>^^^Whan=me last year. Well, not really. I miss my neighbor/friend/crush though. He was an exchange student, and then he went home :(.</p>

<p>But yours isn’t moving away, Whan. There’s still time to grab some happiness. Unless your the main character’s father in Turgenev’s First Love.</p>

<p>I’m an introvert and I don’t talk to people I like sometimes if it’s awkward to try and start a conversation. But if they’re friends with my friends, I’ll be terribly obvious and pop up whenever they’re around.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>:( I don’t really know how, Milliancad</p>

<p>I usually talk to people I like, except if they are 4000km away :frowning: And I won’t be seeing them till August :cry: Ahh ok sobs over but unless I have a crush on that person, I’ll talk to them.</p>

15

<p>Sometimes I don’t text people back when I’m doing homework, but I try to make time for the people important to me, whether that be meeting them for coffee before school or offering to drive them home. When you have a certain block of time specifically devoted to a person regularly, you don’t feel like they’re cutting into your time–like I call one friend most Mondays, get Friday morning coffee with another.</p>

<p>If people annoying me when Im focusing on a question I get extremely ****ed off</p>
