Was a being insensitive?

All girls want is constant validation, not help, not advice. Their egos are too massive to actually take any advice anyway.
Either be like "awww, why cant he just axe u out :O", and play the role of emotional tampon, or stop being friends with chicks.

She actually has pretty bad social anxiety. I guess that explains why she sees everything as a sign that he's not into her.
I guess it isn't her fault she overthinks everything, but goddamn it doesn't make it any less stressful

Sounds to me like she just has a bad case of being a teenage girl.
I actually have social anxiety (severe, treatment-resistant, therapy and most medications don't help) and I'm not an idiot. I know anxious feelings are irrational, and I don't expect anyone to humor them. It's unhealthy for both of us.
This behavior absolutely is her fault.
Don't blame character flaws on mental illness, it's an insult to the rest of us.

I don't get it. Why does she want to worry instead of being calmed down to look at the factual view of the situation??
