Do you yearn in a way that is observable (ie if u had a crush on someone, would they be able to tell by paying attention to ur actions/words)?

Yes, I’m not subtle at all

She’s better off without me, I would hope she doesn’t notice it

I am very, VERY, PAINSTAKINGLY not subtle. If you don’t respond or say things to imply you aren’t interested in a relationship or me specifically, I cut it out.

So i put other, ppl besides the person is able to tell and sometimes they hint the person that i like, or either when im abt to make a move they can tell but only when im applying pressure towards a date or sumn they nvr usally tell when i like them. So they either get told (which is kinda ass) or when im in the end game to pop the question or after I’ve decided to fall back

Oh it’s observable, it’s just that nobody’s really truly observing. Tree falling in the woods-type beat. Corny as it is, I would go full Morrissey and say I don’t yearn as much as I mourn what I fear is too late to attain

It’s amazing how yall have turned “yearn” into a buzzword instead of realizing that men yearn all the time

I try to hide it and fail. It was like that in elementary school, and it’s the same in college. My yearning yearns to be seen 😔

Since she’s a girl, probably. If she had a guy’s social observation skills, probably not (I am using myself as a data point for that)

Why would I ever yearn for anybody, that’s putting them above me

Not to pry but what makes you so sure she is? Idk you or your situation but surely you deserve more credit than you give yourself?

I’m not some bastion of evil, but I’m also not that great of a person, I look kinda like Shrek if he was brown and not handsome, and I’m not exactly the best at picking up social cues. If she actually did like me back I’d actually question her sanity bc there are so much better picks in our class alone

This post is kind of an inspired by the other “men don’t yearn” post from a few days ago, hence the usage of said “buzzword”. I feel like everyone “yearns”, it’s just that modern day culture encourages us to keep those feelings hidden.

So in short, “men yearn all the time” was the point I’m trying to make with this post 😭 if it’s not clear hopefully this response makes it clear
