That's pretty odd, Tep. I hope next time she wants to fangirl you she is more chill about it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Our wings are not tired.
And I totally think this woman is just awkward and enthusiastic, but also weird.
She seems to want to be complimentary and apparently values your opinion so you have impressed her. It is hard to have negative thoughts about someone who admires you. I get the awkward and uncomfortable thing completely.
At mom's for the weekend so I slept uncomfortably on the couch. Ugh.

I do not disagree that this is what it seems like. Sorry if I gave the impression otherwise.

Well, I must be a bad person, then, because she makes me really uncomfortable. I mean, I don't think she's a harmful human being, but I'm really uncomfortable with her intensity of feeling, especially given that she doesn't even know me, other than as the barest of acquaintances.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, don't feel bad for feeling uncomfortable with her, she sounds super awkward and weird, and you're an introvert; even if she's just trying to be friendly, she's a bit much.

You'd think it would be hard to still dislike someone that is your fan(and, yeah, even so I probably give more BOTD, but still, as someone who somewhat routinely gets called "so brave," and "Amazing" for reasons that are hard for me to accept, it's totally possible. Have been on both ends of the who likes whom more thing, though.

No! Not at all. I completely understand being uncomfortable with the situation.

It's been a while, but I've definitely had acquaintances declare that I'm their only friend in the world. It's weird and too much of a burden, and I never know how to react when it happens. I don't think you need to apologize for how she made you feel.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
It sounds like you are picking up on something that she's telegraphing, hence your discomfort. She seems like she has bad boundaries, or at least gives off the appearance of having bad boundaries. I am usually cautious around people who seem to push for too much intimacy too quickly.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Actually, I get it . I have a surface friend - and another friend and I were trying to figure out why it is staying there. We decided she is just a little desperate (possibly due to her current living situation)and it makes things awkward. So You have that times about 100. (seriously, if she wanted to hang with you she could have chosen a rib and asked if you were watching the olympics)
