I never said that "Stop talking to me, you are creeping me out" wasn't a rejection. It is and I never said it wasn't.

I said that "Treat me like a normal person" wasn't a rejection. And it isn't. It's a requests for a change in behavior during future conversations. Of course it means that the OP wasn't treating the BNF like a normal person originally, but it also implies that further contact is okay on the condition that the OP adjusts their behavior so that it's more appropriate.

The example you gave was both creepy and excessive fangirling.

"Treat me like a normal person" was a warning -- you don't say that to people who you want to hang out with you, you say that to people who are making you uncomfortable. You are creeping me out was a blunt rejection. This secret shows that neither had any effect whatsoever on the OP.

Err... in the secret the OP does, in fact, change their behavior. Radically even.

They go from gushing excessively to attempting to start a conversation about canon (which is overly familiar and presumptuous (and potentially creepy) if they don't know the BNF. Obviously they still don't get it right, but it clearly had an effect.

What I see from all three panels is the OP saying "BNF pay attention to ME!" That's the thread. You know you don't have to be a horrible person for someone not to want to be friends with you, especially a person who already has a full social plate. But coming on too strong and too demanding of attention is a pretty good way to turn people off.

[mika-kun.livejournal.com]

No one's arguing that the OP didn't desire attention/friendship.

You said that what the BNF said in the first panel had no effect. This is not true. The OP's desire for attention/friendship may not have changed but their behavior did (it still wasn't right, but it changed). That means that the BNF's request had an effect.
