they sometimes find it easier to talk to others about me instead, but I eventually approach them myself and ask them what's up. All the while approaching with concern and respect that they are struggling to be respectful towards me.
I find that it's easier for me to talk to outsiders about when I LIKE someone (in "that" way) than it is for me to talk to the person I like about my feelings for them.
I think I'm hardly the only one, in regard to this.
