Yeah I do basically the same thing, it’s rough when you actually want something but on the outside seem uncertain or reserved because you internally constantly think people hate you haha. And then it makes it difficult for the other person
Probably why I enjoy saying like “do whatever unless I say [safe word]”. But still something that I need to work on, and actually be like, directly communicating. It’s healthy
Edit: on a second read, I slightly misinterpreted your comment, but I’ll leave it
Eh, it goes both ways. I don’t ask for what I want or object clearly to the things I don’t want. One of the many reasons I have just decided to abstain from absolutely everything for now. Still haven’t figured out the correct way to accept a drunken compliment without accidentally inviting further advances though.

“Thank you for the compliment. Pity I can’t return it.”
That would likely end any further conversation along those lines.
Or to put it in the words of The Monks: “Nice legs, shame about yer face.”
Pull my finger.
