@SW-User what do I do? She is my friend and means a lot to me but she seems to hate that about me

@SolGryn She hates that you care?
SW-User
@SolGryn I don't understand why that would bother her?
SolGryn · 31-35, M
@markfu yes. Everytime I tell her how much she means to me she pushes me away

@SW-User I dont know. I just wish things could be different. I guess I open up to people too easily
SW-User
@SolGryn I am sorry maybe it's not you, maybe it's her. Some people can't handle intimacy even if it's just friends

@SW-User it's probably just me honestly. I'm terrible at keeping friends...

@SolGryn Well, it really depends how you say things to people. Maybe they get the impression that you want more than friendship and you are coming on too hard. Is it a friendship that you want or is it more than that? If it is a friendship, why re-iterate what she means to you as a friend. If you are good friends with someone then that is implied, no need to state the obvious. It's quite possible just in your approach in how you are saying it. Also, don't beat yourself up over it.
