The Situation

"She said she just wants to be friends but acts like she likes me"

The Brutal Truth

She's telling you she just wants friendship while her actions flirt with something deeper. This means she’s confused, enjoys the attention, or is testing your boundaries. Either way, it’s unclear and unfair to you.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling tighter, double texting, or seeking reassurances, which only pushes her further away. This shows desperation, not confidence.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What would it feel like to only engage with someone whose intentions align with their actions?
