Me and my “best friend” fell for each other. She turned into an emotionally, verbally, mentally abusive-toxic person that turned into an unrecognizable stranger. No matter how much I loved her. To this day, the trauma still haunts me. Be careful who you give your heart to.

i've been crushing on my friend for a couple years now. the timing has always been off. the other night she is crying because of relationship problems. turns out she had been fighting her bf over text all night. they're fighting because she's hanging out with me and her boyfriend suspects i have feelings for her. later on in the night after a few drinks, i tell her that her boyfriends suspicions aren't completely wrong and that i love her. ugh. pray for me.

POV: you're here watching this video whilst having a breakdown because you're afraid they won't feel the same.

dude relationships are on hard mode when you’re asexual. the line between platonic and romantic is SO thin, I cannot tell if I love him as a friend, or if I want to pursue a relationship with him. AND since I don’t have sexual attraction to guide me I am SO LOST AND CONFUSED

edit: y’all, we’re dating now
edit 2: y’all we broke up i realized im an ace lesbian
edit 3: y’all he and i are still besties 2 years later

I’ve told my best friend my feelings for him. I’m genderfluid and pan, he’s trans and pan as well. I told him on a whim at midnight after a heavy panic attack from the feelings. He responded kindly and said he just wasn’t looking for a relationship, but we are still best friends. It’s not awkward at all. To all of you struggling with feelings, your feelings are valid, it won’t harm your relationship if you are truly good friends. Stay true to your feelings !

This assumes the feeling is mutual. Sadly, it often is not.

[titlespree]

We fall in love with those friends who have the same values as us, and with whom we can talk about anything without any fear of judgment.

[lukas]

I can’t stop thinking about her. It hurts so much, it’s so painful, my heart is literally aching I’m in a state of panic idk who to fucking tell or talk to but I hate this feeling- idk what it is but i know for certain it’s because I like her. I feel so guilty that I like her it’s making me sick to my stomach and I’m also just sad in general that I can’t be with her in that way. Everything just hurts man

[dreeraven]

I’m a bi girl, and a lot of my closest friends are bi! It’s amazing and I’m so glad to have found people who I can relate to, but it can make sorting out platonic vs romantic feelings quite difficult. Especially female friendships are generally more affectionate, and it’s hard to tell what is just friendly affection and what is flirting. Like one of my bi girl friends and I peck on the lips almost every time we see each other, and we’re constantly making jokes about getting together. I really love her with all of my heart, but it’s hard to tell at this point what kind of love it is. Do I want to continue to be close friends with her, or do I want to be more than that?
