I feel like it’s important to mention that I’m not even the type of person who wants to date/hook up/ etc. I’m happy and content being single and having platonic relationships. I’ve been accused of leading people on when I genuinely believed that we were just being friends and having normal interactions. Idk it’s just frustrating
