Okay so basically from 12-14, there was this kid at my old school who had a crush on me. Back then, I had a fear of males because of something that happened to me when I was little and I had (and still do have) bad social anxiety, I was also diagnosed with anxiety when I was around eight. This guy though was extremely extroverted and I think had ADHD, he was very hyperactive and tried to get people's (mainly my) attention a lot so our personalities were quite different. Anyway, I felt a bit scared by him because he was so outgoing. I tried not to be rude, if he complimented me I thanked him or smiled if I got too nervous to talk. That's basically the only time we talked (if he gave me compliments) except about school stuff (helping with assignments, etc.). Then, I ended up getting a crush on him but that wasn't until I was fourteen. So what I'm trying to say is, I feel super guilty because I think I might of hurt his feelings/broke his heart because maybe I came off as rude because I was so shy? He didn't really seem as interested when I was fourteen (this was the last year I was at the old school) and I feel like I was sounding like I wasn't interested. I wanted to talk to him but I was just nervous to be around people. Then I moved schools (I was being bullied) and I just feel super bad. I tell myself that that's just something I'll have to live with but maybe I shouldn't beat myself up about it. Also, I didn't tell anyone at my old school that I was leaving and haven't talked to them since. Should I actually feel bad? :(
