Missed hints

I had a tendency to mistake niceness for flirting and it ended up a bit embarrassing when I find out it wasn't. So to stop that I stopped thinking guys actually flirts with me so a few times I have missed it till they blurted it out. All cuz I misassume in the past. So I have turned that part of awareness off.

Oh man there were definitely a few times where I felt like I missed something because of either my denseness or stubbornness Like back in 7th grade there was this girl who honestly might as well have been the real life equivalent of the stereotypical tsundere class representative/class president type. Now my school did not have any type of student council or anything but I'm pretty damn sure she would have been the first one to volunteer if there was one. We were pretty much academic rivals so we'd butt heads a lot, she hated how much I slacked off and slept in class which lead to a lot of back and forth bickering at times. Didn't take long for our classmates to start shipping us because we sounded like an old married couple. :v Despite all of that there were times where she was actually pretty kind and considerate of me. But I shit you not, those acts of kindness would be followed by some stereotypical tsundere lines. For example: I was kind of the problem child/class delinquent so I wasn't exactly the most easy person to approach when it came to stuff like giving out candy, cards and whatnot on valentines day. On valentine's day that year she slammed a bag of candy with a card on my desk and was like "Don't get me wrong, it's not like I like you or anything. I just thought it was a depressing sight seeing you there with nothing, this is a complete act of pity." *sticks around to see my reaction* Now I might be wrong and I really was just this hopeless person that she pitied but I'll never forget the look on her face when she overheard that I was changing schools because my family was moving, it was like a mix of loneliness and frustration. She really did seem like she wanted to say something to me during the last day I was there but just couldn't muster up the courage or something. I honestly didn't pay any of that any attention because I had a huge crush on another girl in my class at the time. I did end up moving back and attending that school again for 8th grade though and coincidentally we were in the same homeroom again, she mellowed out a lot and actually had a pretty big smile when she saw I was back. But yeah, again I totally ignored her. :v
