No, its very normal.Everyone of us is having comfort zone.The range of which is directly propotional to the extent of intimacy. For example you may not mind your brother standing closer to you but would definitely feel uncomfortable if it had been your bro's friend.\n\nDon't worry cheer up!! Try to avoid these negative thoughts,you are perfectly alright deer.

I would bet that something else is bothering him, and you triggered an emotion.  It doesn't mean that there is any deep seated issue, and it doesn't mean there isn't.  In situations like that, I ignore the instance and bring it up later in a neutral and non condemning manner.  Then I see how the individual reacts once removed from the situation emotionally.

I don't know why he dropped the friendship, but you are acting kind of needy--almost stalking like.  take a hint, for whatever reason, he does not want to associate with you.....let it go.

this sounds something that has happened to me recently so i'll tell you what i think is the best thing to do...in my opinion the guy is scared of hurting you more in the future so he keeps his distance so you don't get too close in the wrong way...one way you can help this, is to just call him up and invite him to your place to play cards with you and some other friends or just to hang out...or invite him out to go to the new movie playing in town or just a casually lunch at McDonalds....well i hope this helps a little if you need anything else let me know

Friends aren't suppose to make you feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, guy friends are awesome, but there's a line between being friendly-friends-like to harassing. I've had a number of "guy friends" just like that, and so, I would know what I'm talking about. \n\nYou shouldn't let a guy touch or talk to you in that manner. It's not justified, and should NOT be put up with. Remember when I said I use to know a couple or so guys like that? Well, I told on my school administration... they took care of it discreetly... and I was never bothered again.\n\nGood luck! Hope it works out for you! :D

this may seem little to you but in reality it is a big issue. if i were you i would make a police report about it, this is an invasion of your privacy and if they are watching your every move then, they are crazy and you need to tell the police and relocate. Clearly his motives are not of good nature.

Have you told him that you don't feel that way? If not, then you at least need to tell him, in a kind way.  If he still won't leave you alone you need to ignore him.  Don't answer his calls, don't say hi, don't hang out with him and your friends, avoid him if possible, zero contact.  He needs to know that you're not playing games with him and you mean it.  Hope it works out for you!

he can Pis* it away. your best bet is to mind your own business and not alienate yourself.

Yes I do and I'm happy to hear you say that you take measures to make sure that you look decent in public. Do you really want all that unwanted attention? I think your guy is being an a.s.s.**** to ask that of you, it only serves his purpose not yours. You keep doing what makes you feel comfortable, that's what matters.

Stop playing f***ing mind games . . . \n\nYou told him you needed space . . . he took it as "space away from him" because you are not interested in him.\n\nIf you want him . . . go over and talk to his a**.  If not leave him alone . . . because the only way he will come back to you is if you go to him first . . . unless he is a p***y (And it sound like he is not).

Just let her know that bothers you when someone is in your personal space like that. Hopefully she will understand, tell her you wouldn't want to offend her by doing something that bothered her. If she continues after that knock her out she'll stop then. A lil tough love never hurt.lol Good Luck

You guys might be headed down different paths is all. As we mature we sometimes out grow some friends. Try talking to him telling thats not really your thing and if continues to push back away for awhile and let him have the space he needs to dicover where hes headed

Your moniker, Paranoid, says it all. Yes to mind your own business. And no to should you do something about it. Get some help for yourself (and I don't mean muscle).

Yes you should. Also, if your afraid by telling that you will lose his friendship, and just don't want to, then consider talking to you counselor and explaining the situation. They are trained to handle situations like this.

This is not normal which you too know since you have felt it to be odd behaviour and sought advise too rightly.\nMay be it is a habit developed over a period of time from childhood days and the reason behind could be that to over come your feeling of inferiority complex or the fear comp-lex when meeting strangers you wanted to please them and show them you are a friend only not a rank outsider to shutthe door on your face. If you do not object I would compare it to the friendly behaviour of any unknown dog to any unknown person when the dog would wag its tail slowly at first and vehemently if his friendly advancements are receiprocated. Same way you want to show your friendliness to all .\nThough as a child no one felt it odd but as a grown up it is likely to be misunderstood as cheap behaviour,some may even take it in sexual way and start behaving with you still worse;\nI think by deliberate conscious efforts ypou can come over it.Do it with neighbours. \nIf not seek medical help.\nBEST OF LUCK
