in class today, my (not close) friend and i were just talking, and i was purposefully keeping my voice down because my “crush” was sitting a few seats away. he stresses me out like crazy, so i didnt want him to hear me say anything that may be embarrassing. but then this friend loudly announced “you talk so quiet! im sure you have great things to say but i cant hear you” and i just cant stop thinking about it, because the crush definitely heard it. i know the friend meant no harm but ugghhh. i wish i could just be myself without constantly being afraid of him judging me. i havent even talked to him yet, i just try to avoid him.
