You have to get real hurt or just put it in your head that people don't care about you at all.
I used to be this way. It took me getting hurt to realize which people would be ones to take a bullet for me.

In my experience, it happens when you don't have that much interaction from the the opposite gender much (of comparable age). So your brain latches onto the first one that remotely acknowledges you.

The way to stop it is to keep meeting people, including girls. Itll stop happening.

this is usually caused by an upbringing by somewhat detached parents. they weren't there enough for you emotionally, never gave you enough attention, so now you're basically in a state where people giving you attention makes you crave approval and support from them, due to a latent craving for approval and support from your parents. that's my guess anyways. only thing you can do about that is see a psychologist for years, but it'll never really get better, unfortunately. sorry bro

but seems I was wrong in this case. I guess it really is just caused by being inexperienced with women for OP.
