Anonymous asked: Lately my friends have been telling me that a lot of people find me rude and annoying. I suppose they're right - I constantly criticize, ask too many questions, and invade personal space. I hadn't realized until my friends brought it up that I was this bad. I want to stop being like this and fix the way these people view me. Here's the part I'd like your advice on: There's this kid, and we've never said it outright, but it's implied that we like eachother. I'm afraid that if I back off too much from him, he'll start thinking I don't like him. How do I stop being so aggressive without it seeming like I'm not interested in him?

Just be yourself, do not try to change who you are, I mean somebody already likes you! If you find you are rude, just think twice about what you are going to say but it’s okay to be a little curious and ask questions. Never hold back if you feel you are doing the right thing. Be friendly and open, take time to listen to others and consider feelings - this goes to both your friends and your crush and you will have no problem. Drop subtle hints to him, it doesn’t have to be complicated - a smile goes a long way and shows you are interested and approachable.
