Yamero Suki ni Natteshimau - Ch. 2

[Rafalga]

99% of seinen progagonists are losers no girl would be interested in IRL. This one is just self-aware

Sounds like he's been hurt repeatedly and learned to trust no one. He thinks he won't be harmed as long as he keeps everyone at a distance and never exposes a weakness. It's a common setup, quite relatable, actually.

Yeah, when you're a pessimist and see something that looks too good to be true, you can't help thinking 'what's the catch?'
You can tell he's thinking hard about it. He almost wants to give her a chance but he's sure it's a bad idea, because come on, who would suddenly take interest in him of all people without an ulterior motive? You know, that is a good question - what would she want from him - and she seems semi-hesitant to get closer herself, too.

There is no problem with the way he acts IF there is a reason for it. That's the part i was asking about. No one would go this intricate with their delusions (if not a legit case of mental illness as in paranoid schizophrenia) unless there is a source for it a.k.a. it happened before. He does this with every single person interacting with him no matter what is the case. If the story doesn't address it, that's just bad writing.

Maybe when there are more than 2 chapters some of these questions will be answered.

I’ve been in this kind of situation before, though a much tamer version. Our friend circles overlapped one year, and we gradually got close, close enough that I’d consider her one of my good friends. Then she suddenly started getting more touchy and playful, bumping my shoulder whenever she saw me, and our friends would “accidentally” push her toward me.

At the back of my mind, I had this thought that maybe she liked me. But my rational side kept shutting that down, telling myself she was just that friendly with everyone. Like, dont get ahead of yourself kind of thing.

I was introverted, and emotionally immature at the time and getting into a relationship wasn’t even on my radar as I was too focused on studying. We were a middle-income family, leaning toward the poorer side, so I saw romance as something costly and temporary. High school relationships don’t last forever anyway.

So I ignored her advances. Eventually, she probably sensed I wasn’t interested, and our interactions slowly faded until we completely lost contact when we went to different universities.
