Man I’m an awkward dude with more issues than Superman comics and I never understand why after so long people haven’t just worked up the courage to send a text, an email, a letter. This is a good friend at the end of the day. Let them know via a means they have time to think. https://twitter.com/mumbles_j/status/1248605685681659905
Literally “Hey I’ve had feelings for you that go beyond friendship for a while now. I want to keep your friendship but I need to know if there’s a chance for “us” here. Think about it and let me know. If it’s no, I’ll need time to process but you are my bro either way” THE END
A dude who has trouble looking people in the eye should not have to tell people this. Jesus Christ. I AM BAD AT EVERYTHING SOCIAL. and yet…
Seriously if you’re reading this and you have feelings for a good friend who you know is also single and is of a sexuality that aligns with yours, stop letting this shit eat at you and sour your friendship over something you WON’T LET THEM FIX EITHER WAY.
I challenge you BEFORE THE END OF QUARANTINE to get out of this 90s era Peter Parker unrequited love bullshit. Stop iiiiit. Stop. Shit dm me and make me believe that this is a realistic relationship and you’re not about to break up a marriage and I write the txt for you. JESUS
Some negative feelings are good. I believe anger is a wonderful motivator. Sad sack unrequited love sucks the life out of you and damages friendships. Shit it can have a domino effect and damage more than one. MOVE PAST IT. TALK. TO. SOMEONE.
And if this is a crush on someone there is absolutely no chance with because of obvious objective reasons (married, monogamous, not the same sexuality, unethical) please. Please see a therapist or a neutral friend and get help getting over it. It’s crippling you.
Aaannnyway if you’re wondering what my hangup is, it’s not some lost love. I’m married to the girl I met online when we were both 13 and I hate her now as much as I did then. My hangup is I hate seeing friendships and hearts destroyed over fixable things.
