Polished transcript:

Male Female

I'm feeling overwhelmed right now, a mix of emotions. I'm sad, happy, and grateful. Alhamdulillah, whatever is happening, I know it's for the best. I'm a bit sad because this guy, Tariq, is giving me mixed signals. I think I might be showing too much interest, which he's not liking. In the past, I used to take hours to reply to him, sometimes even 12 hours. Now I reply so quickly, and maybe that's why he's pulling back. I don't know if it's him or me overthinking things. He's also been sick, he just had surgery, so I understand. But his texts feel like he's ignoring me. He keeps sending mixed signals. I feel like I'm being a bad person, what I'm doing isn't great. But I'm not regretting it right now because I'm also happy. So yeah, that's how I'm feeling.

Whatever is happening, it’s happening for the best. I know. I’m just a bit sad because, you know, that tarin thing, he’s kind of giving me mixed signals. I get it. I guess I am showing too much interest on him, which he’s not liking right now. Past in the days I used to not reply to him for hours. It used to cross like twelve out 10 hours. Then I would reply to him. But now I’m just replying to him so fast. Maybe that’s why he’s not liking the attention here. I don’t know if it’s him or it’s just me overthinking stuff. Then, um, from his pov, he’s a bit sick. He just has undergone through some surgery. He’s sick. I get it. But I feel like from his texts I get the hint, the essence, uh, that kind of. He’s like ignoring me. I don’t know. He keeps sending me mix signals and stuff. And uh. I’m a bad person. I’m really a bad person. What I’m doing is not that great. Then again, I’m not really regretting right now becausez I’m kind of happy. So yeah, that’s how I’m feeling.
