i feel crazy and need hell
his is going to be long but i really need help. so in the summer of 2019 i started to catch feelings for one of my friends. we hung out a lot with a couple other people and it was always so fun and it felt like there was something there. i didn’t want to tell him or my friends how i felt because i figured it would last the summer and go away and he is related to my best friend and i didn’t want it to be weird. but the summer ended and i still liked him and then he got a girlfriend so i figured there was never anything between us and i made it up. then one day i was hanging out with him and my friends and his girlfriend and he told me that over the summer he had liked me (he didn’t know i liked him). i was shocked and just played it cool and laughed it off. i was confused because why would he tell me that with his girlfriend in the room and also because i still liked him and i didn’t know what to do. i eventually told some of my friends and they were shocked but supported me and said they could see us together. fast forward a few months and he and his girlfriend broke up and i still liked him but i still didn’t tell him how i felt. after they broke up we started to talk a little more and when we hung out we were a little flirty nothing crazy just things like scooting close or long looks at each other. but by this point all my friends thought i was over him. i got hope that again maybe there was something there but neither of us made a move. i told one of my friends and she said she saw how he looked at me and it seemed like something was there (this could be a bit biased considering we are friends). that was a month or so ago and still nothing has happened. i feel crazy for still liking him after so long and i feel like im making up all the flirty things and there being something and i don’t know what to do.
@blueAcai6270 i read this comment once on youtube, i just thought i'd share
I had a best friend during high school whom I liked, but I never told him because I was scared of losing our friendship. So instead of telling him how I actually felt, I hid my feelings. And you know what happens to feelings that are buried? They grow. The like I felt for him became love. I wrote poems, songs. After 8 years, I attended his wedding last January. And guess what? Before his wedding, he thanked me for being his bestfriend and told me that before he met the girl he got married to, he loved me first. For 5 years! But he was also scared of losing me so he just decided to keep it. I was shocked and I slightly had anger towards the world. We didn't know that if only one of us dared to make a move, there could've been a whole lifetime was waiting for us. So people, while you can, please express how you really feel so that in the end you won't regret anything.
i don't know who the original commenter was unfortunately :( i hope this story gave you some insight nonetheless! anyways, if you feel like there's connection, you should tell him how you feel. it could possibly be worth it in the end <3
