And I feel gross that my first instinct was to downplay my liking of her instead of just telling him yeah dude, I like her, deal with it.

I still struggle with this same self-minimizing impulse (especially where men are concerned), and I am 1. not that young, and 2. aroace (i.e. these dudes don't even have anything I want).

I think it's a positive thing to be aware of this impulse and push back against it, but I hate that we end up self-blaming for it in the first place. Like, I've felt the shame/self-blame, too, but honestly, fuck that bullshit.
