It was my second day at a new place. I met this person who talked with me. We had the same sessions with lunch in between.
I thought they would leave me alone and go off on their own.
Wrong.
This person stuck to me like glue. Even through break. I told them that they didn’t have to hang out with me but they said it’s fine and kept hanging out with me. I didn’t tell them to leave me alone because I thought they would leave me. It was annoying.
I did go back to them after going to the toilet but that’s because I didn’t want to come across as mean and ditch them and I thought they would leave me alone.
Before our final session, I told them they can go in without me but they said something in a weird tone that I couldn’t decipher but was something like ‘you don’t want to hang out with me’ so I just said we can go together.
They also asked for my social media after only knowing me for 4 hours.
It was only one day but still. I never saw them two days after that.
It was a new big place and they were so clingy I got anxiety they were going to come looking for me. I had no clue what to do if they did. A relative told me if they say hi reply hi back and then leave them without a word.
Anyway, I left that place because it wasn’t right for me.
The person was the kind of person you never got at my old school so I wasn’t used to that.
I asked the introvert subreddit and they symphasised with my plight.
But I told the Uni subreddit and they told me the person was just being normal and nice and the issue was me being withdrawn.
Which was it?
Edit: people on the uni subreddit also said they were likely an introvert too which I agree with but still.
