This is only focused on one Gem guy who has been in my life since high school.

Just a little backstory

Beginning senior year of high school, this gem guy had a huge liking for me, but I had never felt the same and only considered him a friend. I often told him that, but he has continued to like me since that point on.

Anyway, this gem would often do things to get a rise out of me and purposely make me angry, and this mostly happened on facebook. He would publicly call me out on something in his status. If he wasn't blatantly trying to get my attention, he would say something that I know was completely focused on me and not just in general. For example, I knew French, and he would put several of his statuses in French knowing that I could read them and sometimes he would also put my name in it. When this gem called me out on Facebook, it hadn't been about anything trivial or whatever, he would do it about something that was personal to me. Like, he sometimes made jokes about the fact that I was so close to Jews or how I was sometimes teased in high school about a certain way I acted. Whenever I would see these in my newsfeed, I would get really upset. It takes a lot to really get under my skin, but he usually did. So whenever I would say something about it, he'd act like I was "stalking" his profile. If he really got to me, I would blow up at him, again something I rarely do. Whether in message or on his profile, I would yell at him to stop doing what he was doing. It even got to a point where my friends were calling him a stalker (not in the facebook sense) and that he was obsessed with me. The thing was, whenever I did yell at him, he would immediately apologize, he would feel remorse for his actions, and beg for my forgiveness. It sometimes get to points where I would delete him because he comments/actions were really upsetting me, but he would text me over and over that he was incredibly sorry and that he just missed me. It hasn't happened much over the last year or so because I hadn't really spoken to him and he's doing less to get to me, but I still notice he might post something that I'm sure he knows will get a reaction out of me. He even admitted a while back that he enjoyed trying to get a reaction out of me because I was generally so nice and calm.

So now, I'm just wondering is this behavior familiar to any of you? He was one of the reasons why I didn't want to be involved with gems in the first place (although that has changed).

Seems to me that he's just a stupid individual who just happens to be a Gem. A Gemini that misuses his/her powers are usually like this, all of the time.



Ohhh, ouch.

I wanted to ask this because I've never had anyone really do this to me before ( well, I suppose as invasive and as long as he has). I mean, I've known other gems who have sometimes grinded my gears a little, but it was trivial and at the end of the day, I could just chuckle about it. He on the other hand, will really dig into me. Funny enough, he just randomly texted me today. Lately we have been going back and forth due to the NCAA tournament and he's always picking on my school; he knows I love my school and my basketball team, so I get pretty riled up when someone picks on us, but over the last couple of years, he's wanted to transfer to my school from community college. He'll often say something derogatory about my school or the student body, ect, but a moment later he'll be like, "I really hope I get in." I've said to him before that if he comes to come to my school, he can't make rude comments about the student body (we have a really diverse student body) and what not.

So I don't know if he doest it because he knows I'll defend it or because he just feels that way in general.

He's going about it in a child like way but,I think he likes you and he is trying to get your attention.Any attention is better than no attention.(smile)



Yes, that is true, but he has known for a long time that I've only viewed him as a friend and nothing more. We have a mutual aries friend that is often having to tell him to back off when he's starting to get too invasive.
