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 secretly hate that they're together. I feel like I've lost my best friend to him. She doesn't even care anymore. She says she does, but she doesn't. She was always better than me, but her betrayal hurts.
You can look at it as optimism or stubbornness, either way I'm going to come off as rude and uncaring:
She's distracted with her new boyfriend. She's your best friend, if she says she cares, then she cares. Have a little faith in her. When she settles into the relationship things will go back to normal, and yes, you might even enjoy hearing her gush about her guy sometimes.
*hugs* I do care, I promise, and I feel for you. But don't be so pessimistic about it. She still loves you.
You don't understand. She doesn't care. She talks to her boyfriend and he makes her happy all the time by saying stupid things to her. What the hell? She was never that kind of person before. She was always so much stronger than that. And now I've lost her.
I'm going to come off as more uncaring than Fishy, and I'm sorry, but I don't work well when phrasing things nicer than they are:
The bit that stuck out to me in your comment was: "She talks to her boyfriend and he makes her happy all the time," followed by: "She was always so much stronger than that". I know those are about one degree out of context, but it makes you think.
