You’re overthinking. He just took a step, no big deal.
Keep doing stuff like that. If not for him, do it for your own good – you said yourself, it was fun doing something you were afraid of.
Just leave this experience behind and keep being chill with him. You don’t know what he was thinking at the moment but if you are generally kind around him and give off a good vibe without any bad intentions then you should be fine. Trust me, he won’t think you would be weird for this, he probably forgot about it anyway/
Sarcasm is a special skill that you shouldn’t use unless you really know how to do it well, and without hurting people’s feelings.
I feel you. I do overthink sometimes with people’s body language. But I’d like to encourage you not to mindread. Meaning, maybe he didn’t mean it that way at that moment to make you feel that way.
If he doesn’t want to talk again to you, it may hurt, but trust me, there are other people out there.
Good luck!
He probably didn’t expect someone he didn’t know to open up and ask him something or talk to him. So he gave off an awkward body language.
If he was going to be mean or dislike you he would’ve said something nasty right off the bat.
So I’d say so far so good. Hell, you’re doing better than I ever did in school talking to people.
I was bullied at almost every turn. I’d open my mouth to say “hey, did you watch the…” And one dude cut me off saying “you’re a fucking loser etc”
So you’re ahead of the game.
