Why does he think I need his love?
 

I’m dealing with this crazy guy right now. He’s in love with me and cares way too much about me. He’s a stalker, so he knows all about how anxious I am. He’s sent me messages that say that being loved by someone will cure my anxiety. By someone I know he means him. He also said in a creepy message that all my anxiety will go away if I’ll let him hold me in his arms. I’m not into him and probably not into any men. I don’t think a girl loving me will cure my anxiety either. I just want something casual, but I’m even scared of that. I’m scared they’ll see how anxious I am and get creepily invested in me like that guy. I don’t need his or other people’s concern. I just want some fun. I just doubt that’s what I’ll get.

Sheesh, he sounds a bit full on, doesn't he?!

Desperation is seeping out of him. You know this has to do with his lack of happiness and contentment within, so he's probably best left to it as you are not only not going to make him happy long term, he also sounds quite dangerous, but I might be wrong.

Quite manipulative actions, too. Praying on someone vulnerable by the sounds of it.

Stay firm, girl. Let him go gently if that is what you want as I don't even think a casual relationship with this chap will be enough for him.

As a paranoid hippie could it not just be that?

Your describing yourself as anxious so how can anyone not in your head win with you either way?

He sounds like someone with a soft heart trying to chip away - if your gay or scared or anxious your not going to appreciate his way of wooing.

This thread could just have easily been about how nobody is interested because your so anxious - how does an outsider win?

How does anyone get over anxiety? By taking baby steps & with the help of understanding people - he's not suggesting you join a cult or give him your house keys.


He maybe a stalker - just not from this description so far.

Be careful with this guy. You seem to have already guessed - he's projecting his own needs onto you. It borders on obsession and probably stems from his very young life: disinterested, unpredictable or abusive parents. Aggressiveness probably comes into it too, hence the challenge to control. Honestly? He needs some therapy.

If I were plagued by a guy like this I'd tell him no and if he persisted probably report him

OMG!

At worst from her description he is Pepé Le Pew.

We know nothing of this guy OR if hers is a slightly ott reaction to unrequited love.

I mean if she elaborates more then he may well be a stalker - but from that description it's unfair to start getting into his relationship with his parents.

.

Only his earliest years. One doesn't need to read too closely between the lines to suss that he's some degree of a stalker and controller and it's pre-toddler and toddler times that so often count.

Someone doesn't claim that their love will cure a person of their anxiety when she's evidently repelled - not the stuff of a healthy social upbringing. Hold her in his arms, her anxiety will go away? ParanoidHippy's even reporting it here tells of her feelings about it. At best it doesn't fit with her current social context so somehow she has to dismiss him. He's either urgently looking for love himself or acting the boar - definitely an over-assertive controlling person.

As I see it.

I like turtles!

Lol, that skunk kissing the cat like that.




To ParanoidHippie maybe take steps to help yourself with your anxiety, so diet, spend time outdoors with trees an in the sun and stuff, take it easy, talk an spend time with others and do things that make you be in situations that you don't like too much (not saying be with that guy) im saying get out of comfort zones and you don't have to jump into things really quick you can do it slowly in little steps an it gets bigger an bigger till you realise you have gone far with it.

If you have not told the guy your talking about that you don't like what his doing, then maybe you should tell him too.

I just read the whole OP in an american cheerleader voice:

"like oh my god - like there is this crazy guy who's like - oh my god a psycho stalker & he keeps taxxting muh & messaging muuh & like I'm totes not super into him"



I've worked with way too many ladies in retail fashion I think!

They all told tales about guys & then 2 seconds later were dating - it's doesn't really sound like the OP but it reads a little teeny.

Wouldn't it be prudent to let this thread run its course without diverting it; let others have a say? Perhaps ParanoidHippie was serious.
