Awestruck
Crushes make us act weird—there’s no denying that. Reddit user Omar-Abdelfattah shared a painfully relatable moment when a cute girl lightly brushed his arm. Instead of playing it cool, he panicked. His fight-or-flight response kicked in, and apparently, “flight” won. Without saying a word, he turned and ran away.
The poor girl was left confused, while he instantly regretted it. It was a moment driven purely by nerves, but it’s one he’ll never forget. Looking back, it’s funny in a “can’t-believe-I-did-that” kind of way, but in the moment? Pure mortification. We’ve all had those silly overreactions to love—this one just happened to be hilariously dramatic.
