Like there are also people i want to reach out to sometimes but i try to consider their point of view and they might not want to hear from me

For me, it helps when people are as direct as possible such as saying I need time to myself right now or I'll get back with you later in the week. Otherwise, I wonder if they even got the message. I wonder if this is an autism thing?

I have the problem that the people who constantly message me are people i dont really like. I can't say that of course so i try to subtly distance myself

That helps me understand. Sounds like you are maintaining necessary boundaries.

I need to get this thru my thick head. I have a difficult time in relationships with this. I am getting better.

@Aspychata: Do you mean you want to talk to a person a lot when you like them? Bc i do too, but i don't have people like that around me. The people who constantly message me are people i dont feel a connection with

@Aspychata: if they also like you, it would not matter lol. My problem is with people who know i am not interested in them but they keep pestering me.

I think I have an idea about what you might be going through. I have a very gossipy, condescending neighbor who doesn't respect boundaries. It is very stressful for me to deal with her. Is this similar?

It is someone i recently met through a family friend. He keeps messaging me all the time even when i dont respond and weirds me out since we just met
