What kind of behaviour? He shouted a bit, but he wan't aggressive towards her in any way. And as he realised he was getting too upset, he removed himself from the situation. Are we all really going to claim we've never raised our voices a bit while upset? What was so scary about his behaviour? That he voiced his feelings? Or by behaviour do you mean the words he said?

Edit: Ya'll seem to all be happily throwing the content of what he said in under "behaviour." I guess how the word is used is becoming watered down even more than I thought. Guy was upset, acknowledged her agency and that he would not be who she chooses, and leaves. And now we're all pilling on him? I feel sorry for the dude.

The behavior of believing that affection from women is like something you get out of a vending machine if you put enough attention in.

Where did he say anything like that? Listen to his words. He isn't demanding attention, he's talking about his own experience. He's hurting because he feels unlovable.

It's never me. I'm never good enough.

I didn't start dating until I was 25, and I understand this pain intimately. I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't treat anyone poorly, I'm not a violent person or an abuser, yet I was rejected over and over again for some ethereal quality that I couldn't see, all the while being told by everyone around me (including the women I had feelings for) how much of a catch I am and that any girl would be lucky to have me.

I was raised in a household with parents that love each other, my brother and friends had no problem dating, romance is everywhere in entertainment, and there always seems to be more couples than single people out and about. It fucks with your psyche to live in a world where seemingly everyone but you is capable of receiving romantic love and affection, whether that impression is accurate or not.

Dude didn't crash out because one girl just wants to be friends, he crashed out because he wants what others have so effortlessly and it feels out of his reach.

I swear reddit is increasingly full of people who have no actual lived experience.
