Default making progress

i feel like im finally making some progress towards being happier. i realized it today when i pulled myself out of an emotional tailspin. Normally once i start feeling negative i start feeding it and drag myself down, today i started doing that but was able to stop. Though the trigger was still something that shouldnt be. My friend who is going to eurpe with me was telling me to be more social and have funand i made a comment about flirting with girls on the trip but not her, as most of my friends dont like when i do, but she was like why not? you can flirt with me, i dont mind. Then i started to get sad, it was a strange response, she was trying to help me, but it did the complete opposite. i think it stems from the fact that i dont want to waste energy on flirting with somebody that i know doesnt like me. she is gonna end up pressuring me when we are there about being social, but she doesnt motivate me and i dont want to say no dont say anything to me about it. I end up putting up a wall to protect myself from getting hurt. I think id be more motivated if she trashed me and i used the negative energy to show her wrong, instead i use the postive energy to be negative. Anyway i am making some progress cause im trying to avoid my first response and stay positive and be able to enjoy myself.

....which is a wise choice. However, don't second guess everyone. Some women enjoy the art of the flirt even if it really isn't a 'relationship'. It's just fun goofing around verbally.

as long as i dont get any ideas that she likes me its fine, thats more of my problem, i tend to take things the wrong way, the first few times she put her arm around me screwed me up for awhile. what i decided is that i will flirt, because its safe and will build my confidence a little and wil make me seem safer to the other girls that dont know me. Plus i found out that because there are 5 guys going and we have doubles one guy gets a single and thats me, so i have my own room, so i had better have at least one girl spend the night with me, my goal is to at least make out with one, though i have delusions of granduer that has me with a different girl each night.

You aren't alone DA. A great many people take the flirts or the physical gestures from someone of the opposite sex wrong. The problem is...sometimes it's meant personal and sometimes it isn't . It's hard to decipher between the two.
