She may not have been a native English speaker, and had a limited vocabulary to pull from. Or not well read. Or well spoken.

Compliment stands. She thought you were attractive. Take it or toss it, but why do you feel a need to dwell on it?

smart

This! I’m not an English native speaker and I didn’t know pretty is only for female, but what I was trying to say at the time was the guy is attractive

It’s a compliment.

Y’all. I deeply respect him—he is why I decided to stick with the company. I felt like I found my Gandalf/Yoda/Teacher. I appreciate his mngmnt style—lots of freedom and opportunity for discovery. But sometimes, it feels like he doesn’t care and gets exhausted by conversations around growth. I know when he is frustrated with my Qs cuz he’ll start giving my short answers. And that’s whenever I try to get objectives for a projects out of him. What do I do lol?

I have no idea what is wrong with me or how to fix it. In my lifetime, I have no real friends even though I meet so many people. I reach out and they dismiss me. I ask how they're doing and they don't reciprocate or ignore me. I really try to be a kind, fun friend.

My therapist thinks there's nothing wrong with me, but I just meet the wrong people.
But this sounds wrong, they all have close friends, nobody actively hates me, though clearly I am doing something wrong. I can't live like this.
