How do I stop pushing people away?
This year I became friends with this guy. He became the best guy friend I'd ever had. He was always there for me and he could always make me laugh. Things were perfect. Then summer came and I don't see him every day at school anymore. He texts me 24/7 and it gets really annoying. Now I just can't even stand him. How do I get past this? I don't know what to do. He never did anything bad but all of a sudden everything he says and does just annoys me. Please help me. I don't know what to do. I'm falling apart and I just need some help.

First step, which I'm guessing you've already done, is to pray Pray FOR him, not just about him.
It sounds like you may need to define the relationship. I agree that he might think there is a romantic chance in your relationship. When guys think that, we'll happily disregard signs to the contrary and convince ourselves that "she likes me too."
Maybe you need to get together with him and ask if he likes you. That will give you the chance to explain your feelings. It might sound harsh to do it that way, but it's better than if he thinks he has a shot.
This is a good chance for you to grow. Conversations and situations like this are tricky, but they are a part of life and the earlier we learn to just address them the better of we will be.

You can be direct and tell him or you can be passive and not respond to every single text. I think it's different now because you see the words impersonally on the screen instead of hearing them personally coming out of him. It also sounds like he may have thought there was something more to you two or it may be that he feels he can actually talk to you but lacks the social skills to see he's being clingy. I think you should be upfront and honest but in a loving Christian way |
