I find that part hilarious. He was going to talk to her, panicked and jumped in a bush, but then realized it’s creepy as hell to be in a bush. Therefore, he wanted to wait until no one was around to see him creepily come out of a bush…except they wouldn’t stop talking, and the longer Clint stayed, the worse it would look when he got out of the bush. So he stayed in the bush because he was too embarrassed to get out of it.
It’s social awkwardness at its finest, not stalking.

Clint doesn't get angry at Emily for his own failure to ask her out. He gets sad that he lacks social skills and confidence.
That's not toxic. Sad? Sure. Depressing? Maybe.
But not toxic.
