poly/non binary - went to friend for advice and it went south

...See more topics mentioned: breakups, polyamoury, rejection (everyone in this situation is nonbinary and poly) Hi. I am poly/pan and in my last relationship, I was in the middle of trying to figure out how I felt about a close friend. About a month ago my partner broke up with me (we are still friends) and since it was both my first relationship and it lasted over 1 1/2 years it messed me up really badly. The close friend in question (friend A) understood I needed time to sort myself out and heal, and last night I realized I like them. I was worried I was just rebounding so I went to our other close friend (friend B) and asked for advice. Instead of advice they almost instantly confessed they liked both me and friend A for a long time. They were trying to be really open and mature but also saying things like "I'll never make you guys uncomfortable again" despite me insisting they never have along with canceling plans and a big project they were super excited about literally the day before. I know it's not exactly my fault but I don't know what to do or how to fix this and I feel terrible. I'm so incredibly guilty and I had no idea they felt this way. I don't really have any other friends right now and I'm worried I've ruined everything. Any and all advice would be appreciated. tldr: i went to a friend in a gay panic and they told me they liked me and my love interest and i don't know what to do
