Over the years, I've stopped pushing away potential partners and cutting people off randomly, but I'll still get that feeling of like you're annoying them, they don't want to talk to you, just stop bothering them. So what I've taken to doing is telling the person, "Hey if you don't want to talk to me/ don't want to be friends with me/ want me to leave, just tell me. It's totally ok," to give them an opportunity to get rid of me if they need to. I feel like it's easier for me cuz I don't want to be blindsided later on by them getting annoyed with me or cutting me off. At least if it happens upfront, it spares me some pain. Problem is most people will lie and say they're not bothered by you to save social face so they don't seem like an asshole. But I'd rather they be honest with me from the start than hurt me by bringing it up themselves later on.
