Being a Gemini really just feels like contradicting yourself 24/7. Like there’s no way I’m somehow a little bit of everything… bruh.

I’m an 18-year-old male, and I’m wondering if it’s normal for Geminis to feel revengeful.

There’s this Aquarius girl who told my only female friend that she was into me. I found that suspicious from the start because she had just arrived at our school, so how are you saying you like me when you don’t even know me?

My friend kept talking to me about her in our math class, so eventually I gave in, accepted it, and gave her my number. Things started off fine, but not even a week later I started noticing things that made me lose interest. I didn’t want anything to do with her anymore, but I kept talking to her anyway.

The problem is, I had already decided I didn’t want anything serious, yet I still entertained it. Eventually, we became distant because of a lack of communication, so I stopped talking to her completely. Then she went back to my friend, and my friend convinced me to talk to her again. I had to drop my ego to do that, but I did.

Two weeks later, she texted me saying:

“I honestly don’t know how you’re going to take what I’m about to say, but the truth is I don’t feel the same anymore. I don’t feel what I felt for you when we first started talking. My feelings have changed because of how we’ve both been acting, and I don’t really like how things have been between us lately. I think it would be best if we just left things as they are and stayed friends, if you want. And if not, I understand that too.”

I had already expected something like that, so I just replied, “Okay, I was thinking the same thing.” Then she sent a sad face, like she expected me to beg or something.

At first, I didn’t care. But then I felt weirdly offended, and I don’t even know why. I thought maybe it was because I don’t like people wasting my time—but realistically, I was the one who wasted my own time since I already knew it wasn’t going anywhere. So why did I feel offended?

Later, during last period, I saw her talking to some guy who’s taller than me, but he has a girlfriend, so I know it wasn’t him. Then she mentioned a guy named Derek. I have a friend named Derek who’s also taller than me, but she had also mentioned an ex with that name before. Apparently, he got taller and maybe more muscular.

It felt like she was trying to make sure I heard her. I just acted like I didn’t care and didn’t pay attention. It didn’t make me mad—it honestly just made me feel a mix of disgust and pity. I’ll admit, I have some ego issues.

Now that I think about it, what actually pissed me off was that she offered to stay friends, even though I’ve already said I don’t have female friends and don’t want any. If you’re wondering about the girl I mentioned before, she’s only my friend because she basically decided that herself and I got stuck with it—now she’s like a little sister to me.
