Either through memes or comments I keep seeing this sentiment pop-up from time to time. And I'm wondering what your (yes, you) consensus is on it.

I for one am too pessimistic to do anything with potential hints. Like even if there is a good chance I still just don't want to risk it.

How am I supposed to tell that you're actually hinting and this isn't just you? I've literally had that happen where a girl seemed super into me. Constantly talking to me and coming up with every reason to be close to me or touch me. I asked her out and she had a boyfriend and I'm just like "alright I'm never asking a girl out again this shits infuriating"

So now I just don't even think about it much. Occasionally I'll see a pretty girl and want to interact with her but then remember my experiences and go back to not caring.

Tbh, it sounded like she was into you

It's happened multiple times with multiple women and I've resigned myself to believing it's clearly something about me that no one is willing to tell me is a problem so I've just given up entirely ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

something about me that no one is willing to tell me

Let me try: You're decently attractive, quick to offer help and have a meek and gentle nature. Sounds like you? These women were looking for a shoulder to cry on without giving anything in return. She was touching you because things weren't going so great with her boyfriend.
