Basically I really like this boy. He was so funny and he used to talk to me in class and help me with my schoolwork but now he just ignores me to my face, never interacts with me and treats me like I'm not even there. Some people at school told him I had feelings for him and he hasn't been the same since. His big brother and his big bros girlfriend are really nice to me but he isn't. One of the girls in my fashion in textiles class who is friends with both of us and super nice asked him what he thought of me and he said I was a gimp (in Scotland we use that word for someone who is incompetent annoying/stupid/silly/pathetic/useless) and he told me other friend who sits next to me in sign language and art that I was annoying sometimes and talked too much when they were on the football field. I feel really hurt at what he said because Im aware that my talking is annoying to people (I'm neurodivergent and love to tell people about things) but it really hurts coming from him

Hi Grace peanut,

It sounds to me like you lucked out! Although you had feelings for this person at one point, they do not sound like a person you'd want to build a relationship with. His actions do not sound nice towards you.

It can hurt to have feelings that are not reciprocated, but sometimes that happens because we can not control how others think and feel.

Have you talked about your feelings with anyone else? maybe a friend? It sounds like a good time to focus on surrounding yourself with people who are respectful towards you and who you enjoy being around!
