Frankbtl: Thanks for saying that. I guess I just need to learn to set boundaries. Well, so far I haven't encountered any girls who liked me, or that I liked back, as far as I could tell, so this situation for me, personally would be for boys. But it could be used for girls as well, but I wouldn't know because girls might be different...I have no idea. I'll try to focus more on developing friendships using other methods as you suggested, and develop healthy hobbies at the same time! That sounds ideal.

StuckinRut: So far, I think...my friendships have been reciprocated. But it could still be too early to tell. Thanks for the input though. I'll be more careful in this. It's great to know my approach isn't inappropriate or anything, from a guy's perspective.

hvert: Yeah, it IS awesome, but it's a little hard to accept your mistakes, no matter how slight they are. I think what you're doing is a great idea, similar to Frankbtl's suggestion. I'll see if I can find anything useful to post! Thanks!

FWAH2014: " I ended up setting boundaries but at the same time not actually losing myself in the "caring" to much part of me." I see, that must have been quite difficult to implement in your life. I myself have a hard time setting boundaries for fear of abandonment or rejection. I'll try not to be "too nice" and set boundaries, like I said just now.

Seems like most of your replies are centered around setting boundaries and developing other interests, thanks for your replies! Hope this post has been useful in terms of relationships with people to everyone.
