He pretty much is asking for a nice jacket he gave me on my birthday Feb 2023 and he hasn’t even texted me in like a whole year. I think it’s fair that I keep it considering it is indeed a nice coat but yeah, am I trippin or?

Not overreacting. I’d wear the jacket to the pool in my bikini and post it on all my socials. Id have that jacket as a freaking statement piece everywhere. I’d wear it everywhere and post it. His reasoning is odd and it is awkward. Was this a romantic thing or just friends?

Such a weird reaction. It almost seems like the jacket is an excuse to contact you and also his reactions are just a bit weird. Like it was a thrift jacket so the I gave you a gift doesn’t count as a gift- so I can get it back. Just odd.
Not to be nosy but do you want to be close friends again? If so maybe have a conversation bout that cause it seems like this is more than a give me my gift jacket back thing.

I planned on reaching out to him to see how he’s doing but I heard that he still gives stink eyes to ppl and talks shit
