Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).
This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".
If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).
I doubt he's embarrassed. I mean, I recently changed my status on FB, and, well, I forgot I had some people on my FB until then. Honestly, I was slightly worried with 'what will the reaction of RLs be', but. . . that soon died. Just. . . give it time. Try not to worry.
She's my best friend, and I love her. (I'm straight, I meant that figuratively)
She's perfect.
All of my guy friends fall in love with her. They use me to get to her, and they shun me.
HE fell in love with her, and HE is no longer in love with me.
Everyone wants to be around her, and I'm sick of her shadow.
I've heard about you. If it makes you feel any better, I know of several people who will be happy about that.
If you are happy, you should be happy. No sense in drowning your happiness in "I shouldn't be happy."
Hey, I'm just here because it's a hell of a lot better than facing what's going on in my life. Yes, I'm a coward, and yes, it will bight me in the butt. I've made my choice, though.
Just so you know, it's not going to be possible for you to quietly sneak away. It is actually noticed each time you fade in/out of being active, by many.

*hugs* Even if I've been terrible about getting online lately I would /cry/ if you left. I mean... I love you, Nathan, you know? Like so, so much. You kept me sane back in June. You, Lamp, Fishy... a lot of people here did. I would cry if I lost any of you. *misses a lot of you*
*never would've thought of something like this like that*
...don't think about it that way.
Really. Don't. It's... you don't like the other two romantically, I presume? They still love you as a friend. They just love each other as more-than-friends. Really. It's nothing against you, love. They still love you.
I mean, we have other friends that we are with a lot, but just the three of us talk all the time too. Now I have to be with just the two of them knowing that they don't really care if I'm there or not because they just like each other. It sucks.
You're right in a sense. I don't know what it's like to feel that way about this, I don't think about it that way at all. But I do kind of know what it's like to hang out with just two other people and then have them get together finally. I... didn't think it was bad though.
They don't, or at least they shouldn't, care about you any less than they did before just because they now have a new boyfriend/girlfriend. They still enjoy talking to you and being with you. Sure, they'll want alone time, but they can, hey, go off alone for that. They don't want you to walk out of their lives just to give them space.
^ This, exactly.
Honestly, I'm guessing they're both younger in age. So, just let them be happy together, and stop worrying about this. They care for you and so what if you're not getting constant attention/are the favourite? You have other friends for that.
