i feel super confused. i'm in this all year long course on personal development with around 15 people. one of them is a guy who i'm 100% sure isn't into me but who checks up on me for whatever reason when we run into each other (like how my exams went etc, light stuff) or backs me up if i disagree on something during the group discussions. and i just feel confused why someone might do that given that i always wear headphones and have to take them off when he says hi to me or whatever. idk i can't figure out if it's genuine friendliness and building that group dynamic or whatever, or if he pities me because i don't have any friends. caught him looking at me during one of the lectures and idk it baffles me bc i'm just kind of afraid that he has taken asking me stuff as his little charity project or whatever
like i never know whether to relax and genuinely try to engage or brush him off bc him approaching feels kind of weird given that we barely know each other apart from that one course. he seems kind of cool, ig i could befriend him, but i really can't tell why is he making this effort? it's never anything deep, just wishing me good luck on the workgroup or whatever. i don't think i've ever talked to him first bc it feels awkward and he definitely already has enough friends it seems
idk man, do people actually just check on each other like that irl or is it a trap LOL
