I have anxiety and this guy I like has been ignoring me: Advice?

Leave him alone if he doesn’t want to talk to you. Sounds like he doesn’t.

You gotta get your anxiety checked you asap before trying to get in a relationship… You talked for 2 days only and you’re freaking out that he’s busy… but yea umm I think buddies got a girlfriend…

Yeah he’s obviously not interested. Just leave him alone :woman_shrugging:t3: Move on and find someone else that is interested in you, and that won’t blow you off! It doesn’t really matter if you wait a few days to text him. Him saying “I need space” is his way of saying “leave me alone, I’m not interested in you” … If you keep trying to contact him it’s only going to make you look desperate.

Quit messaging him. That makes people uncomfortable if they don’t want to talk. If he is into you and you keep texting him when he isn’t responding it will make him not into you. Just leave it alone. It’s called playing hard to get.

When someone indicates they don’t care, believe them. I’d unfriend him on all social media and move on. When he texts you when he’s bored 3 weeks from now, don’t respond.

Hes clearly not into you. Hes showed you that. You’re to emotionally attached. Worry about yourself. Get yourself better. You cant expect someone to just be into you. Nobody likes a clingy girl. Especially when you’ve only been talking for two days.

Because I have anxiety and a whole array of other issues. I choose to live alone and i remain single. I focus on my kid’s and family. This is the best way my mental health is amazing. Because I have all the feelings that you’re feeling and at times I cannot control those emotions when I get into a physical relationship with a man. Borderline personality disorder is the causation. I like to stay by myself. Check into it this it could be your problem.

He’s not into you girl

He should be more direct about how he feels, but it sounds like unfortunately this is his “nice” way of letting you know he isn’t interested. His intention is probably to be nice, but there are definitely ways for him to be better about letting you know.

Please get therapy- you come off as extremely needy and attention seeking and guys RUN from that

Y’all talked for 2 days… not texting him for less than 24 hours is not giving him space. He’s not into you.
I know it sounds mean but I’m saying what I would want someone to say to me if I were in your place. I have bad anxiety too and used to obsess over guys that I had hung out with like once.
Move on. If he wants to talk to you, he will. Trust me.

Leave him alone. Take a hint. Maybe he is busy and will get back to you. Maybe he needs space and you are not giving it to him. You are making yourself seem to needy.

I live with depression and anxiety every day of my life.
First, sorry you are going through this.
Second, sometimes we need to try and step back…yes, I know it is extremely hard, and reevaluate the situation. You just started talking, so maybe he needs a little space for a moment to see you for your worth. Let him be the one to text you next…I know how hard that can be…truly I do. Next, try to work on relaxing and loving yourself, where you are at right now. Start with saying a positive affirmation about yourself every day. Find something you enjoy that helps take your mind off of wanting to text him…color, read, go for a walk, exercise…so many different things you can choose from. Start with loving yourself first. There will be days you will fail miserably…it’s ok. Pick yourself up…dust yourself off and start over.
Tell yourself that you love yourself and begin there. Self love needs to come before we expect someone else to love us. Lastly, as hard as it might be, you might have to realize that, he decided he doesn’t want to be part of your life. Some people can’t handle our lives. Let’s be honest, there are days we don’t want to deal with our lives…the anxiety, depression, etc. He may have decided it was more than he wanted, and if he did, then he wasn’t the one for you anyway. Keep your head up. Keep working on you. You will find what you are searching for. :yellow_heart::yellow_heart:

Sometimes “busy” just means that person needs a break. Especially from someone they’ve just talked to for a few days. Anxiety or not you need to leave him be. Let him reach out when he’s ready. If he doesn’t then you know he’s not interested.
I agree that it sounds like you’re not mentally ready to start a relationship anyhow. In a very new relationship you may not even speak everyday.

Every relationship is different, a lot different. Sometimes you see/text them every day and others you see them once a week or every other week and text them once in a while in between that. My current one we didnt text in the beginning, we actually put the phones down and saw each other. It was at his place but we did stuff together.

Ummm you’re acting stage 5 “if you’re old enough for that “ :rofl: but leave him alone he’s either not interested or is feeling like you are smothering him I’m sure

If your anxiety is really that bad, and trust me I’ve been there, you need to get on medication. Talk to your doctor and find a solution. But leave him be if he doesn’t want to talk you can’t force him

Leave the poor man alone. Yall talked for 2 days. If you’re freaking out this bad over him saying hes busy and you guys havent even talked about dating, I can just imagine how it would be if you were actually dating. You need to see a therapist and possibly get some meds for your anxiety and depression. Help yourself before you try to get into any relationship.

Here are 3 memes I remember seeing before. But on a real note. Hun, its only been 2 days. I mean I get you’ve known him for years. But you’ve only been doing this for two days. Maybe he is feeling its moving to fast. Just slow up, give him space. If he is interested he will contact you.

The more you push someone the quicker you will drive them away. Maybe get some counseling and work on yourself

As adults, we dont talk everyday. I wouldn’t expect some guy I was just talking to. To want to talk 24/7. You’re probably seeming too clingy and he wants some space.

I had 2 male friends for decades (50 years) One quit corresponding due to his live in GF and another did for 4 years cause I didn’t call him back on the designated day I later found out. Then he wanted to again. I have known him for 50 years. He was also married and going behind his wife’s back, cut him off myself after that. You are obsessed with the guy, and really you don’t know him that well just the idea of ‘what this guy could be in your life’ and it isn’t healthy. He isn’t interested in you. It will hurt worse if he blocks you. 2 days of corresponding Hon, he has moved on. I am not sure what kind of answer you are looking for.

Listen your a smart girl. It is his loss not yours. Right now you have some impotant things to work on yourself. Start therapy talk to someone that can help you handle your anxiety and depression. No one can make that better but you. Love yourself enough to get the help you need. Don’t see other people as a means to make you better or worse. Just concentrate on you and let this guy stay busy. Move on to the only person that can make things right yourself. Good luck and God bless.

Aw girl I used to be there. In high school up until I met my now husband at age 20, I was always dating someone. Never ever spent time single. I was obsessed and would get my heart broken constantly. I look back and wish I had worked on myself, went to college a few years sooner than I did, and just spent time figuring out how to love myself and make myself okay. Never got that… growing up was rough in my mom’s house. She tried but I think it didn’t help and I get bad anxiety all the time, I clean like a mad woman to help the anxiety. Idk your situation, but honestly just from what you wrote it sounds like he may not be as interested anymore? It is going to be hard and you don’t wanna hear that you need to step back and give him space, but if you don’t he will label you as a clingy, crazy woman. I got called that a lot and look back and cringe. Give him space, and if he does like you or anything is there, message him in a few days and if you get nothing again, just move on.

I was always so down in the dumps, suicidal at times and when I got rejected it made it worse. But I am SO happy with where I am today. Married to a great man with a sweet baby girl, and a career I love. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. If it doesn’t work out with this guy, which it sounds like it may not, then move on. I guarantee there is someone better out there. So hard when you’ve been there, done that, felt the hurt before, and want to save someone else from heartache… but you will ultimately do what you want to do, despite advice.

I guess I wonder what advice you’re looking for too. You don’t wanna be told to back off, or to stop texting him, but realistically that’s what everyone is gonna tell you. :frowning:

He wants his space give it to him permanently and then move on

Maybe he feels you’re too clingy that usually turns guys off. Or maybe he found someone else he’s more into. I wouldn’t ask him why as some others are suggesting-his answer will probably damage you because of your mental health issues. Get some help for your depression and anxiety and move on, that’s all you can do. Find a good therapist to talk to instead and fix yourself before finding a guy. You can’t force someone to talk to you.

Leave him alone. Intentional or not, you’re going to come across as desperate and that’s a huge turn off. I can almost guarantee you will push him away that way. Give him a day or 2 and text him again and just be like “hey, hope all is good” or “how have you been”. If he doesn’t respond, hang it up

I have severe anxiety and my first piece of advice is quit using it as a crutch. If you can identify it and it bothers you, quit talking about it and fix it. I speak to a therapist about self help techniques and how to recognize triggers. I also take medications to help. It took a while to get them right, but my life is SO different with them. As for the guy - he is showing his true colors, is that how you want to live your life?

Anxiety or not, if you only spoke for two days and now he’s not responding there’s some reason behind it and you should move on. If he wanted to talk to you, he would. Wouldn’t you rather find someone who wants to talk to you just as much as you’re wanting to talk to them?

You’re gonna have to learn to control yourself a bit. It’s hard, but you need to. He might have a girlfriend, or maybe he really is busy, or maybe he just doesn’t want to talk to you. Either way, you need to respect his space, regardless of your anxiety. He won’t be the last guy that changes his mind…

Move on… see a therapist for your anxiety and insecurity. Stop texting him, snap chatting, and stalking his FB page. Slow your roll, respect his space… if he isn’t responding to you, take it as a clear message that he isn’t interested. Also learn from this and try not to be so “persistent” with the next guy you meet.

Sounds to me like there is more to this. Like perhaps you guys slept together maybe and now he isn’t talking to you. That’s why it is getting to your anxiety so much. If I’m wrong and I simply did just chat for two days than u just need to find a way to move on and to better deal with your anxiety because he simply isn’t into you and u should never chase anyone. When the right one you will be perfect for. Maybe try cbd oil. As someone who gets crippling anxiety it does wonders. The tincture or oil works best. Good luck girl

I’d say move on from this one while you only “like” him. At least y’all weren’t dating when he did this. Just let him go, either he’s actually busy or he just isn’t interested anymore and that’s okay. Be glad that he is being this way early on. You’ll find someone better :hugs: best of luck to you! Also maybe go see a mental health specialist and talk to her/him about your anxiety and depression and they will help you will both!

You need to be confident and keep your head high (or at least fake it until you have that confidence) and the right guy will see your confidence as beautiful and he will be the one concerned when you don’t text him back. You have so much more than you realize. Someday a guy is going to do everything possible to be around all that wonderfulness. But you got to let him chance you.

You’re anxiety and depression are not his problems
There are plenty reasons why someone wouldn’t want to talk one on one with someone else
I take breaks from people for days or even weeks at a time due to my own depression yet still spend a ridiculous amount of time Facebooking everyday lol
The fact that he has responded and said he doesn’t want to talk and you keep pestering him is just going to ruin whatever chances you still might have

Honestly your anxiety is gonna ruin ANYTHING that you have going between you. You need to shut that shit down right away. You have to learn to control that anxiety because it will and always does chase people away.

Maybe just maybe he is busy you know like he said. Even if he does like you he doesn’t have to talk to you all the time and honestly if you do give him space it might just make him want to talk more

Half the time I do not w ant to text or talk to people, yet im on fb. …posting and commenting. It’s my “mindless downtime”. You need to seek a doctor’s help for your insecurities, before you can full commit to a relationship of any kind. I’m not trying to be rude, just a straight shooter

Anxiety or depression isn’t your problem with this, you’re shooting for attention. You’ve known each other a couple years but have only been talking more frequently for two days. Maybe now that he knows you better, he’s not that into you. But texting him every couple hours is excessive and you’re pushing him away. You’re causing your own anxiety. I have anxiety pretty bad myself and even I can see that what you’re doing is bothering the guy. That’s a huge turn off to a guy to constantly bug him when he’s not responding and then stalking his moves on Facebook. Go to a dr. And get your anxiety and depression under control, so you can pursue a relationship in a normal way instead of bombarding a guy with texts and then freaking out when he doesn’t respond.

Be straight up with him and ask him to be straight up with you, communication is key and guys appreciate honesty and being allowed to be honest themselves. As much as we would like them to be, they are not mind-readers, you gotta spell it out for them.
