guy acting super weird or am i crazy?

I need advice from internet strangers.

There is this guy I am kind of crushing on at a certain activity. But he has been acting super weird and I am not sure how to react. To make the situation clear I haven't really talked with him other than the usual small talk when I said my name and just nothing out of the ordinary so we are basically strangers.
First off, when I was at this activity he was kind of walking around me and my friend but he never talked with us. My friend caught him checking me out with a sad look on his face but she could also be mistaken. He came up to say bye to his friend when we were talking with him but did not say goodbye to us ( rude?).
Next time the activity was being hosted I came and he walked right by me without saying hello. He was also offering people berries to eat and offered everyone but me ( my friend told him you should offer to *my name* but it looked like he froze and could not come up to me; when i walked up to them he offered but whilst looking down at the ground). It was also clear that he was avoiding eye contact with me at all costs even when we were talking in a group setting with me and his friend.
The last time I went he was standing 1 meter away from me and he again didnt say hi so I greeted him first. Later we went near his group of people and he kind of stood around went away to what appeared to be bushes ( the activity is outside) came back, stood around and went away. I have to mention that this is almost the 8th time I am there and he is usually chatty and social with everyone from my observations thus I am wondering why is he acting very avoidant to the point of it being rude.
It would almost appear that he cant stand me but he barely knows me and we chatted for like two minutes total and I would like to believe that I am genuinely a chill person so it wouldn't make any sense as there is no reason for the seeming hate.
Anyways I just wanted to hear unbiased insights from the internet!

Hmmm.

Indeed, he is acting rather strange.

Maybe he has feelings for you but doesn’t feel comfortable approaching you or is still undecided as to whether he should talk to you.

However, I cannot say this for sure because I don’t know how you act around him and if you ever implied to him that you have feelings for him through your demeanour. Essentially, I don’t really know how you react when you see him so can’t say for sure that the above is true.

Or maybe he does know that you like him and he doesn’t feel comfortable being around you for that reason. But I don’t personally think this is the reason why he is acting odd.

Does that help?

When i talked to him first time I was just nice and maintaining eye contact and I act around him just like I act around other people with maybe a bit more glances but nothing too suspicious. I actually interact with him less than with others because he is avoiding me so I have no idea how he could get that I like him. I asked my friend if Im giving off different vibes but she said that I act casual. I would understand if I had flirted with him but I didnt get the chance because he seems to be running away from me like I'm the plague.
Also during the initial convo he seemed to be talking fast and was blabbery in general and also he was lightly rocking side to side and was palming his fists so maybe these are signs of anxiousness but I am not sure.

Makes sense now.

The guy likes you. He is really nervous and doesn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of you.

Also, I believe he is embarrassed with the way he has treated you so far but doesn’t know how to make up for it. That’s why he is prancing around and anxious about the thought of you speaking to him.

I see. I'm not sure how to make him comfortable and not afraid to chat with me? The nervousness is cute at first but now it's just kind of frustrating and I am not sure how long before it becomes a complete turn off if he continues to act like this. I also feel like maybe I'm gaslighting myself to see some kind of signs which maybe are not there but my other friends that have been there also said it was weird af especially with the food thing and offering me without looking at my face for a brief second at least. So I'm not sure maybe I'm overanalyzing stuff but I want to talk to him nevertheless. Any ideas how to not make him get a panic attack hahaha?

Thanks for all of your insights! I will try to talk with him if he doesn't run away and have a normal conversation and see how he behaves. I hope as time goes on he becomes more comfortable.

Best of luck!!

Hope it all works out for you.

thank you very much!

looooooooooool. looks like he is an introvert or maybe he just has social anxiety. try to speak with him more, initiate a convo or just confront him about his weird behaviour

that's the weird part he is so social with everyone, has a lot of friends, plays in a band and does extreme sports not to mention he is very good looking and athletic! he also freely interacts with other girls and people as well so it really doesn't look like he has general social anxiety or girl anxiety. His demeanour reminds me of a restless puppy who goes around and talks with everyone a little ( except for me). So that is why the behaviour towards me is even more odd. If he was neutral towards me he would at least say hi or offer me the food hahahaha but now it's total avoidance or so it seems idk
