Exactly man. It's hard to explain to people who don't know what it's like.
ABSOLUTELY! people think your intense. And its hard to explain to someone "No, I just feel more strongly about you than you probs do about me". Still stings when they kind of prove that though hey.
It's tough man. For me, I generally expect nothing from other people, which helps temper my excitement to a degree.
In a way, it's pessimistic, but after some of my experiences, its less shitty to think that way.
