Due to an increase in SMV due to losing a load of weight and my personality/confidence shooting up, I've been noticing people becoming more attracted to me (in a general sense) and want to be around me. Whether I'm in the gym or walking about people (men and women) seem to interact and look at me more.

This wouldn't be as bad but I've noticed one or two friends have weirdly started trying some powerplays by switching up their reply rate and being hot/cold. It's very similar to what has happened with a narcissist in the past and makes me anxious as gay as that sounds.

I feel so weirded out by it but I can't just block these people on Facebook or say I'd just prefer work emails if they need to get in touch as I'll see them around and it'll be awkward. One of them was a professional relationship that I told a lot of personal abusive stuff to that I went through, who then suggested I add him as a Facebook friend which I now regret.

Have any of you experienced this sort of stuff and how would you navigate this? I just wanna have as little to do with them as possible
