Not in my opinion. Maybe you're hopeful and compassionate and empathetic because you went through an episode of anxiety yourself.

All I can say is that female and male needs are often different. Not always, but often. It's not unusual for men to want to go into their cave and be alone when they're not feeling up to par. Not all men, but a lot of men.

Maybe it would be good to keep in touch every few days or so with a simple text and if he texts back to respond with just "ok" or something neutral, rather than an offer to get together or be there. He knows you're there and if you hover it will tend to make him feel annoyed or guilty or worse.

In the meantime, make plans, go out with your friends, don't put your life on hold waiting. If you don't want love, romance or sex with anyone else right now, that's okay. But do your best to do your work and enjoy your free time instead of waiting. It will be hard. But it'll be better for you.

One of the things that can happen is that if we sit around waiting with all our hopes aimed at that one person, we tend to start feeling anxious ourselves. You might start bombarding him and driving him away. It sounds as if that's not what you want to do.

There really is a place in between abandoning him and sitting around waiting for him. That middle place is living your life, enjoying yourself, while still being willing to offer support if he decides he's open to it. Very hard! It really is. I hope you'll be willing to give it a try.
