i’ve been pretty stressed out lately so i’m just gonna go on a long rant

so I’m just gonna call him apple(code name)

so I’m pretty sure I’ve liked apple for a while

not that long ago while but

a while as in it’s may right now and maybe since november

i never really managed to admit it to myself because all of my previous crushes have had terrible results so I didn’t want to make myself suffer that again

so I didn’t really care

until recently there was an incident at school

let me walk you through it:

I was already having a bad day

My mom got mad at me for waking up late, my classmates were teasing me for being short that day and teasing me about my personal stuff

at the end of period three, I was packing up to leave for the next period, when Apple came over to me and started teasing me more

He had been teasing me for a good half of the year, but i managed to ignore it until that day

honestly idek why i thought I liked him when he was so terrible to me

I was working on a project involving cutting, so I had scissors in my hand

It’s not as bad as you think

I was mad

But i didn’t actually want to hurt him, I was just really annoyed and frustrated so I tapped the end of the scissors on his finger

It didn’t do anything to him

It didn’t scratch him, it didn’t cut him, there wasn’t even a mark

But he still told the teacher, which is how we ended up in the office for the afternoon

He thought he was just making jokes for that whole half of the year

I thought he was actually bullying me and trying to make me mad

He felt really bad, which was honestly unexpected for me, because he was always the class clown, so he was just the troublemaker that no one really cared about

So he kind of opened up his soft side in that moment

That day was finally the day I admitted I liked him

it’s been awkward ever since

we barely talk, sometimes we glance at each other awkwardly

it’s gotten better in the few weeks that have passed, but it still feels weird to interact with him

I don’t even know how he feels about this situation because a week after it he went back to normal

Sry if this was long I just needed to get it off my chest

I got a cat a few years ago when he was 6 months old, and since about the 6 month mark of having him, he’s been scratching and attacking us. Not in a playful way, but in an aggressive way, to the point where my mom has completely stopped playing with him, and thinks not feeding him what he wants for a day or two will help. The problem is though, we’re done this before. We started ignoring him, but the moment we go back to normal, he feels the need to attack someone. It’s like he knows it’s wrong, but just can’t stop himself from it. We don’t know why he does it. It’s just random, and it’s gotten so bad we’re afraid to invite guests over. Does anyone know what can help?
