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).
Nah, if we'd staged it, my question would've been less blunt and she wouldn't have rolled her eyes at me, because that makes it too imperfect to have been staged.
And I agree with what she said, it's probably true for your little group of people. I'm sure they still love you, and I'm sure you love them still.
I still think they chose her over me. No offense, but I don't think it's possible to choose one friend over the other like this and then say that you still love the other one. The only way to find out is to make them choose for real, but that would probably make them resent me. So I don't know what I should do.
Because more than likely, you're wrong, and you're worrying over nothing. (These are online friends, or IRL?)
Lets just humour ourselves and pretend for a moment you could be right. Then you should tell them you feel like a third wheel, or just try not to look of it like that. You're only adding drama to the situation, and with young people, and I'm guessing this is a newer relationship, you don't need any extra drama. Let them be happy and make the best with what you have. Life is what it is.
Meh. I'm sorry, I really am, but it hurts me that they like each other more than they like me. The girl and I were best friends, the best of friends, and now she chose him first. It just... hurts. Sorry, but it does.
Fine. I can tell nobody wants me to go on about this, so, I'll stop.
Eh, you sure you're just not misreading their affection. . .eh, that's be the wrong word, for another with choosing another over you?
Like, if she just leaves chat when you're there to go talk to him, I see where you're going, but otherwise. . . . you might just be overreacting. Consider talking to them. Really.
If it's romance, then it's nothing personal. It just happens, you find a ton of your time invested in your romantic interest. In short you're not being ignored because they don't like you, you're being ignored because they're investing time and attention in each other.
Great you talked to him at least. I really doubt it went no where, too. Just. . . it might take a bit for it to seem like it's going somewhere. . .. . .
At the very least, at least he knows how you feel now. It might not have made an obvious difference at the moment, but, it's better to have had the conversation than not...
