How would you react if someone told you they liked you?

the other me wrote:Rhab. Your statement brought alot of memories
I have had a relationship with almost everyone women who told me they liked me. Yeah most were needy in some form. I used the situation because i had a needed and they did too obviously
Not anymore. If a women told me now. Id say thanks and hope to get a friend out of it.

So you just don't have sex?

If it's a random person I will ignore what he or she just said, if I like the person too sometimes I will give them a compliment. Ex: 'You seem cool. I like how your face is asymmetric' haha. For some reasons I don't know yet I feel more comfortable in these kinds of situations with women. On the other hand, I don't mind hearing that from a person I know from a long time that I feel is sincere (I can count them on one hand).

anyway,
I started to really like someone, were really close friends we have been for years.
I did in the end tell her how I felt after needing to let it out! I hate being emotional but I had to in that situation. To be honest she didn't seem to care, she told me shes really sorry but her brain doesn't work that way and if she could make it easier with her feelings she would, she said I could let it out to her anytime. We do still just carry on as normal friends, she doesn't act different because of it which helps alot.

I found out she was shizoid soon after and sometimes I really need to let out to her how I feel. I don't do it often, when I really need to maybe once every month/2months however to anyone that's probably a pain in the butt especially for someone who doesn't get those feelings. (I'm trying me bestest to stop however at the moment my brain doesn't want to) >_>

Just thought id get a shizoids point of view, i'm not labeling but your views would be best.

Would you find it awkward if a close friend told you about their feelings?

Thanks for comments & honesty guys

*mod edit*

I would have to ask what is wrong with them.

In that exact Situation, I personally would feel very, very, very uncomfortable, like being strangled a bit?
Probably would try deal with it though.

I would laugh and say "Well good luck with that..."

If it's someone I don't know, I would just put them down quickly. Maybe say I'm gay or that I'm already taken if they insist. If it's someone "close" I would probably be a bit more honest. A friend of mine confessed to me about four years ago. At the time I didn't know I was schizoid, but I just told him that I didn't feel romantic feelings for anyone and that I had never been in a relationship. He accepted it at the time, even if he probably thought it was the typical "it's not you, it's me". Then again, it's been 4 years and he's seen how I have remained single all this time, so he probably gets it even if others say he still has feelings for me. Oh well.

If you like someone who's schizoid, the first thing I would recommend is to get over them before it becomes actual "love". Yes, some schizoids are in relationships and they make it work somehow, but they still struggle with being vocally romantic or intimate with them, so you should consider whether you'd be up to be in a relationship like that. I'm not saying "give up because it's impossible", but also don't force that person too much as it might cause the opposite effect. You wouldn't believe the amount of "acquaintances" I got rid of just because they showed signs of being attracted to me.

May I ask you, how you deal with the Knowledge, that he (also still) has feelings like this for you?
I always had ti go rid of those, that wanted me in "that" way (except of one) or at least keep more distance...

For starters, there'd be confusion in any case. People have told me that I look attractive enough, but it'd still be a surprise, because I purposefully try to appear uninteresting to most people.

If they were unattractive, I'd probably just say "I'm not interested, sorry" and leave it at that. If they also happened to be annoying, and there was nothing to lose from burning bridges with them, then I'd probably be more honest about finding them unappealing.

If it were someone I found attractive, then I'd at least consider some sort of relationship, although I'd probably take some time to consider it and see if we'd be compatible for extended periods. In any case, a relationship probably wouldn't last long unless it was limited to casual stuff like binge-watching TV together and having sex. It'd help if we shared some interests too, since it would make me less inclined to avoid conversation with them.

I do not care when it happens, I follow my life alone.
