So as I thought was right , I stopped talking to him , more like he stopped coming over , so there was no contact . Before this , he used to share some funny reels , etc. but nothing after that . I did feel kind of sad , but I understood that it was for the best . Coming to what happened a couple of days ago ; My parents had come over to help me with moving and stuff and I wanted them to travel , because they don't do it themselves . I took them to this restaurant and while we were on our way back , I was helping them get into the cab , because they have health issues related to mobility .
In my periphery , I saw him at some distance , but I pretended that I didn't because it would have created an issue with my parents ( no they aren't orthodox , they would have invited him over ) . But then late at night , I got a text from him that he saw me and he asked if they were my parents . I said yes and then he asked further about them , I told him a little about their health problems and that was it . Then last night my flatmate ( his friend ) tells me that he asked her about it too and since she knows my situation , she explained it to him .
Today , this guy comes over after so long and begins talking to me normally , like nothing has happened . And then casually in between the conversation proceeds to say that he is proud of me !? I am protective about my parents and I don't like patronising attitude from people , expressing their pity about how I am so brave to do what I do . I understand that he might have been trying to express his support or whatever , but this kind of pissed me off . Now he has been texting me again with apologies , which frankly I am pretty sure he doesn't even understand what he said .
Am I doing something wrong , I am scared that no one will ever understand my past and my life . He is a good guy , he probably farts rainbows . I had for a moment briefly thought of maybe seeing where things go with him , but this just kind of triggered me . Also I think I am neurofivergent which leads me to have extreme emotional episodes while looking like I don't actually care .
