Does this happen to you often?
Seems like context would be helpful. I'm not sure I've personally been responded to this way when trying to get to know someone. But I imagine in certain situations, it might be more likely. Maybe online vs in person?
The response does seem say something though. Uncertainty. Distrust. Maybe more.
It's important to be aware of what happens and to act when and how you feel led.
However, caring for your mental health is most important. Even on this platform I have a filter on for a single word -- Trump. For how long, I don't know. I still get US news, but I just needed to decrease it for a time in relation to that man.
