If someone was an awful friend to you for a significant portion of your friendship (very one-sided conversations, rude comments, our personalities just clashed a lot, I felt so loud in comparison, which I usually don’t mind, but I felt like I was too much for him in contrast, his personality only showing when texting, which I absolutely DETEST), he also just consistently made his feelings about me a very off thing during the friendship (you didn’t know it was you, but it was pretty obvious, I just did not want to be the one to confess),
I can’t help but feel like I’m just trying to rationalize leaving him and come up with excuses. The relationship was not the best, he lacked a lot of sensitivity, but other than that, I feel like I should have been able to work around these issues, he was a nice person and had beautiful values regarding our potential future together. I was just so incredibly unsure about him. I remember 2–3 days into dating, I got this overwhelming gut feeling to leave him. It just did not feel right for me.
