Help. I feel like I don’t respect myself.

Not sure what country you're from, and maybe that's why you've interpreted the greeting as "disrespectful," but I personally think it may be best to try and move on. Another option if it continues to bother you and your girlfriend would be to just ask. Lastly, I don't think this would classified as "Problematic Sexual Behavior" but I hope you find a resolution.

 

Maybe you can ask your close friend's girlfriend why she is saying hi to you differently than normal. Rather then speculating, you could just ask them in a conversation. Tell the person that the way they say hi to you has been bothering you and you would like to know why they say hi differently now.

Good luck to you buddy. Let us know how it goes.

 

I’ve had these experiences before. Know them all too well. The best thing you can do is ask what’s going on or if she’s got something going on in their life. I noticed my buddies and past friends would cease to stop after things getting crappy. I always wanted to help them but just like you I felt I was of no use or respected myself enough.


Your girlfriend also needs to chill out… If she had a guy friend and he wasn’t talking much to her I’m sure you would do everything for her to figure it out.

I noticed though you two just greet in mornings and not a tad too much extra. This is a uneasy tension especially in two people that barely know each other… I’ve done this before especially with one of my buddies regular friend that was a girl that I was interested in.. Eventually I felt useless, like it didn’t even matter. If it really bothers you try and talk to your buddy about her in a normal convo. It feels awkward as shit, but if you’ve noticed something off there’s got to be some reason..


In the past I’ve also had really attractive co workers to the point where I would always awkwardly greet them. Although I am allot like you and didn’t converse too much.. What really puzzled me though is that if I would be walking and passing by them, they would just ignore me and continue talking to whom ever.. This is when I know I don’t mean anything.
