Thanks open eyes for the detailed response helps quiet a bit!!

I understand everything your saying but somehow my intuition still stops me from thinking this guy would have used me, he seemed really caring then all of a sudden he backed off.. i feel like he's been hurt either because everything's out in the open or something's there that I don't know. Because now he's quiet rude to me.

Before, he was SUPER caring towards me.

Yesterday, he actually snapped at me a couple times, and I finally just got up from dinner and left. Everyone kept asking what happened, i said nothing. But they understood. So I still like him, but I'm okay with keeping seperation from him... the only thing that i see hurting me is if he brings some girl with him and is smooching her all over the place.

I did feel pretty weak when his sis passed comments, but last night i passed the same comments. Also, I've understood this group quiet well like you say, and i've promised myself not to leak anything personal into it, its a river, it'll flow all over the place. I stay strong with them now

Somehow my self esteem is back probably because now I see its more of an issue of THEIR insecurities and not mine?

Thankyou so much for helping me see clearly. I so very much appreciate it.
