PSA: YOU DONT HAVE TO BE FRIENDS WITH ANYONE YOU DON’T WANT TO BE!! Listen to your gut and do what makes you comfortable. The guy doesn’t have to be creepy or bad for you to not want to interact with him. As women, we are trained to think we have to be nice and agreeable to men, especially men who are being nice to us. We don’t! You don’t have to be unnecessarily mean, but you can establish firm boundaries and tell him that you aren’t interested. You’re not required to like him even if he’s nice

like two people around me who also frequently interact with this person tells me that just how he is and he’s being nice and funny and means no wrong and i believe them but it still makes me feel uncomfortable or weird. is that something i need to address like internally myself or is it something my gut is telling me that i should trust/listen to

I can’t tell you whether your instincts are right or wrong but if it makes you uncomfy for any reason you don’t have to interact w him even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else
