Oh. My. God. Yes. This girl, who was nice by all standards and easily the woman's version of the "neck beard, m'lady", bothered me for over a year straight. At first I just wanted to be friends, she was okay and we had somewhat similar interests. But something was off with her; any time I told her something I did or liked she "by coincidence" started liking and doing the same things. I met her in our high school's senior guitar ensemble (for some background info). I started really getting into the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and so did she. I showed her some new things I figured out playing guitar, and she obsessed over them. It wasn't like a cutesy sort of way, because she was really loud and obnoxious doing everything I did. Anytime I said something she would laugh and agree. And she would text me constantly/shout my name in public anytime she saw me. Totally clingy! I had just started dating this sweet girl since I met the neck beardy one, and I knew she also fancied me. She probably liked me more than my then girlfriend to be honest! But as the year went on, I stopped answering her text messages and she would get increasingly depressed. She sent me random sappy poems over text to couple this. The infrequent times I did answer her texts or snapchats, she would rant on about how her life sucks and how alone she will always be. It was the one time in my life where I knew the girl liked me; it was painstakingly obvious. And I hate to be a dick, but hopefully I'll have gained your empathy (sympathy?) by the end of this story. So, as she repeatedly sent me these poems, I mentioned it to my girlfriend who agreed that the girl liked me and was crazy. So I confronted the girl about the subject, as she would also tell me she had something she needed to tell me but that I would laugh. And I knew it, she liked me. Now, I'm not a complete asshole, so I did try to let her down the best I could. I told her she was nice, but that I did have a girlfriend. I hadn't mentioned the clingy, obsessive, and harassing qualities she had. Fast forward 6 months later, I'm in my first semester of college. The girl calls me every day and snaps me all the time, still depressing. I tell her that she needs to stop contacting me and that I don't wish to be her friend anymore. Weeks go by and she still calls and texts, so one day I text her and call her crazy, depressing, and all that stuff. She responds a bit bitch like, which I suppose is understandable(?) so I say some sassy things back which I actually cannot remember at the moment (this happened a while ago). All I remember is that my best friend was with her in his car hearing me say that over the phone and he said there was dead silence in the car after I hung up. I apologize for my terrible story telling abilities. This sounded much better in my head, but it looks like a slew of ambiguities. fuck it
