It kinda does sound like he likes you tbh. He may just being friendly though so wait and see if he messages/talks to you more and see if there are any other clues such as staring, blushing... trying to be near you in school, ect. Remember to stay chill and If it is really bothering you you can just tell him that you're uncomfortable with his attention

He sounds quite lonely. I'd recommend (if you want) to just treat him like a friend, and don't stress about it. It could be he just wanted to talk to someone in a platonic way and thought that you seemed nice. Has he shown any of the other signs I put in the last post, or messaged you again?

Ok PLEASE remember one thing: You are NOT responsible to fix anyone else's problems, and while you can support them, if he really needs help then I'd recommend talking to a teacher or school councillor (Only as a last resort really). Give him time and space and

Sorry posted the last bit accidentally. Anyway what I was saying was just to give him space. Just wait and see what happens, and maybe try and talk to him gently if you get the opportunity to. DO NOT FORCE IT!

If he does start hinting that he likes you, make sure you're clear that you're not interested and if he doesn't respect that you'll cut him off. Also, make sure you don't try to help him if he isn't willing to accept the help.

I've been there and it's really draining trying to keep them happy and not be "too mean" when setting boundaries, so it's best to be strict about it for your own sake. He might just be lonely and want a friend though.

Yea I know I’m not forcing it he just kinda trauma dumps and i listen and after I say something like I’m sorry or can I help in any way and he says it’s fine and I was like your clearly not fine stop saying you’re fine we both know your not fine
