Dear Lindsey:

You mean his usual behavior, not being a friend. I misunderstood, I thought that you meant that he touched you or tried to touch you sexually.

You mean in the context of a friendship he is not acting like a friend. Of course it will be better if you “stop reaching out” to him as a friend-that leads to you getting “really confused and get increased anxiety”.

Decreased is what you should aim at, not increased anxiety. Problem is are you able to stop reaching out to him, as a friend. Try and see if you can.

(I will be away from the computer for a couple of hours).
