I sold some old clothes and used the 50% welcome discount to grab these basics!

I had to stalk that kimchi blue dress in someone's cart for two hours, but I snagged it for $9!

Side note, I'm annoyed that ThredUp will remove items from your cart while you're in checkout. Someone was hoarding a two tops that I ended up losing because of that. Otherwise, I'm satisfied

I'll spare my long personal history, but suffice to say I have a disorganized attachment that leans avoidant. I've made a lot of strides with therapy and self work, but it's still there.

I've always had a fascination for the stoic kind that of guy. I dated a man for six years and I'm not afraid to admit that I was EMBARRASSING throughout the course of our relationship, especially in the beginning. I fought for crumbs of effort.

I healed a lot since that ended (we broke up two years ago). I had a couple flings with some men who actually put in effort and liked me. I know how much better it is, and I'm at the point where my body feels like it would physically reject chasing a man around again.

Still, I just cannot escape getting these fuckass crushes on men who don't show any interest in me. It doesn't help that I have to develop an attraction over the course of getting to know them.

This is on my mind because I was stupid enough to develop a crush on a coworker. He isn't super chatty (with anyone). But I thought he was cute so I decided to take some initiative to start conversations with him. I think he's warmed up to me a bit, but he clearly doesn't make any effort to talk to me or say hello. As much as my brain is addicted to cherry picking signs for "maybes," I know enough to know that ambiguity is a no.

I know I shouldn't be upset. I don't know him well so it's not like I'm realistically missing out or something. It's just frustrating that this is such a constant pattern.

And the thing is, I get approached by men A LOT. I'm just not capable of being attracted to strangers when it comes down to it. But I know I'm not ugly or come across as undesirable. I feel like there is something really wrong with me to experience rejection constantly, but logically I know that I pick these men who give me no indication of interest. I just don't know how to stop.
