It does, thank you! I totally relate to the “my time is limited” mentality, because I try to live my life to the fullest each day. I’ve been trying to branch out though because previously, being alone made me happier than being with other people. And while I am happy alone and feel like I know myself better now, I’ve recently begun to feel like something is missing or that I am missing out by not really having anyone I can call my friend. Like I don’t really feel that I’m important to anyone. And I feel I can’t grow as a person being so isolated, because I have nobody to have any experiences with to learn from, if that makes sense.

But I mean you’re right, if he keeps crossing my boundaries, it’s disrespectful. I’m likely just going to distance myself from him for a little while, and then I’ll see how I feel.
