my current thoughts

My cousin has been on my mind a lot later. I love him so much but he has been so annoying. He has been so overly protective of me, its ridiculous. First of all I am older than him (only a year but still I am older) & yet he treats me like I am his younger, inexperienced, innocent, naive sister. It drives me insane. It should make me happy to know that he cares so much about me but it annoys me. I don't know what to do, I spoke to him about it & he refuses to admit that he is so protective. He told me that he cares & worries I will get hurt but that he will give me my space & wont overly protect me. LIES! I feel like he is getting in the way of my happiness, he constantly gets involved & acts so weird about everything. He is constantly asking me if everything is ok & wanting to protect me from everyone. What I really don't understand is how he tells me that he doesn't care what I do & that he wont bother me, but he does! He is completely contradicting what he tells me & it annoys me so much. I don't know why hes so protective of me. Then he does something that really drives me insane, he doesn't want me to compliment others. He seems to get very annoyed & jealous. I don't know why he is acting this way but its starting to drive me insane. He has become intolerant of me complimenting boys he rolls his eyes, smirks then usually walks away. I want to bring it up but he refuses to admit that anythings wrong. I don't understand him. I wish he would talk to me so I could have a greater understanding of his feelings, maybe I would tolerate his weird behavior better.
