It sounds like what’s hurting most isn’t just the distance, but the sudden shift from ease to awkwardness. That kind of change can make anyone feel unsteady. From the way you describe it, his message about focusing on studies may have been honest, and not necessarily a rejection of you. Sometimes when someone realizes there might be feelings involved, they pull back a little because they don’t know what they can offer. The awkward eye contact moment doesn’t mean things are ruined. It usually just means both people felt unsure about what the other wanted. If you want to repair the connection, the gentlest way is something small and pressure‑free — a simple hello next time you cross paths, or a short message that doesn’t ask for plans. If you do that and he responds warmly, the comfort can rebuild. If he stays distant, it’s okay to let the bond loosen and protect your own heart. There *can* be a way back to normal, but it starts with a light step, not a big conversation.
