I can relate

There was one boy I had a crush on in grade 8. He was very kind, sweet, and very hot. I was a huge loner. Honestly I was having a really rough year. One day while walking to school, I saw he was waiting for me. I told you he was really kind. He saw how sad I was and wanted to be my friend. I made sure to be as prickly as possible, so that he would go away. He was such a light, I didn't want to drag him down. He could not fix the problems I had that year, and I felt he had better things to do. So I never interacted with him again... I heard he got cancer. I wish I could tell him how much I loved him, and didn't hate him like I wanted him to believe at the time. I'm not sure if he survived. No one is as perfect as he is, and I hope he found someone that knows that.

Oh ! That’s touching. Few are the ones who get their true love in this world. Luckiest !

Long time ago .. found out she was taken haha

All the good ones are taken or commited

Haha exactly!! .. but again milfs are hot!!

I care about my friendship more than I do about sabotaging it in the name of some relationship that will never become a reality

Yea thank you for

Yea thank you so much

Appreciate our friendship way too much to risk it

Exactly

Her royal duties and my class.

Damn! :(

Ohhh

Didn't want to get rejected and have everything be awkward after that.

Yeah sometimes life is letting it be

The timing was never right.

I understand

I don’t know who you are.

Yess

Afraid to get neglected

Yes! The dilemma

I was being a too much if a bitch about being shy

I don't want to lose her.

Ow

I’m scared of rejection and betrayal. Why should risk opening up to someone that I love when Ik there’s a possibility that I could be hurt in the future, so I just hold it in.

Exactly my situation

I wish I had advice. It hurts looking at everyone around me and seeing that their happy in relationships while I’m scared to even pursue love

I'm a bi woman, she was a straight Christian looking to become a nun. I picked my battles.

Ohh

I did. Wasn't reciprocated. Now, I never will.

Happened with me once

How did you cope? In my case, he was sweet about it . We aren't in contact anymore but I think about him a lot.

Same for me. She was great about it, but the timing was never right. I thought about her everyday for years... Until the day I met someone else. After that, I would only think about her every other day. As my new relationship grew, I thought about her even less. Today, I am married and I almost never think about her. And when I do, I try to remember only the good things. The friendship, the happy moments, the great talks... I'm glad it all happened, but I'm also glad it's all in the past.

I can relate. I am happy I get to connect with such a person. I have still not met the right one and with every disappointment, I think about him more ! So, that's sad haha. But I'm happy for you 😊

❤️ Everything will work out. The magic happens when you stop looking for the right person and start trying to BECOME the right person. That's what worked for me, at least haha

Aww...thank you for your kind words ❤️

I'm so sorry that it happened. Can understand how it feels. I have been this shy person myself and being a guy it was always really tough. Never ever confessed to anyone although had a few crushes here and there. I sometimes wish if I'm just unlucky with dating and love, because as much as I want to be loved, I just can't find the person. I'm also a shy, emotional person and I tend to overthink too much haha.

I’m not ready 🙃

I see

Just waiting for the right time really!

I am fat and ugly. Why bother and get rejected? I will just admire from afar.

The feeling is just inexpressible, admiring them from afar.

Because I knew I would have been toxic for him and he deserved better. My mental disorders are more manageable when I’m alone, I burn out around people.

She didn’t choose me.

Something something something fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

You know that friend in the group, whom you fancy, but you tested the waters before (ask what’s her type) and know she’ll never fancy you, because you’re sorta butt ugly, sorry I meant not her type. So you just hold it in and be “professional”. Don’t be stupid, keep it inside. It’ll never come true. Don’t ruin the friendship.

Umm! I see

I did. Got rejected. Feels worse.

Keeping it inside is sometimes better than letting them know. *sigh*
