[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It definitely, definitely has something to do with him having a crush on you.

Years ago there was a renowned professional in my home town that just treated me like garbage. Rolled his eyes at me, ignored me, avoided me etc every time we were in the same place. After I moved to DC I heard from a mutual friend that he’d said, Oh Larla will get snatched up in a second in DC, she’s absolutely stunning. That’s when it all made sense.  [/quote]

+1. When I lived in New York there was a guy I ran into in my larger friend group who was always bizarrely hostile to me - never spoke to me but would stand nearby when I was talking to someone else and interject rude commentary in response to my statements, roll his eyes when anyone paid me a compliment, cold shoulder me if I said hi to a group of people he was a part of.

At my "going away" party he got drunk and told me he always wished he had the courage to ask me out and I 'looked like an angel sitting im the light' the first time he ever saw me.  TF?!  By then I actively despised him but if he had just been normal I wouldn't have rejected him out of hand or anything.  But he built it up in his head that I was some heartless jilt and took that narrative out on me for years.

OP just avoid this guy.  Either it's about you, in which case it's all projection, or it's not about you, in which case he's a socially inept person and you're collateral damage.[/quote]
