It's a thing that's screwing things up and making shit more complicated, and I can't shoot it down. Unless I aim the gun at my heart, and it has crossed my mind, and it's still up for consideration.
Emotions are messy and hardly straightforward. Talking about them sometimes help, analyzing why you feel the way that you do. I suggest you find someone you trust to open up about what's happening to torment you enough that you would consider turning a gun on yourself.
Okay, fine. I have a stupid crush on someone, and I want to get rid of it. It's pointless to have around, it's making everything worse, and it's just hurting everyone involved.
Basically. This was supposed to be a stupid little game between stupid little girls who kiss each other when they want a little excitement. But I went ahead and jinxed it all up... like I always do. And it's not like me kissing her is a big deal in the first place; I'm not the only one who had a shot with her. And that's fine, she can do whatever she wants. It's...
[ hurt and frustration are knotting together into a tight ball—like a sense of wires becoming too tangled up to be unravel so easily. ]
I was just trying to do what Vi used to do when she used to bring chicks in and out of The Last Drop. But thanks a lot, sis!! You didn't warn me about this part.
I hope someone punches her lights out back home for me. Right in that stupid big schnoz.
Yeah? She's a horrible teacher. And it was me, I guess. I said stuff and she said stuff back, and it went on from there.
Does it matter? I just need to unlike her before I lose a friend.
I was told to care less about her, so that's in the works. And I'm bringing home another girl every other night for sleepovers. What else do I need to do?
That's not how liking someone works, Powd--er, Jinx. [He has a visceral dislike based out of guilt for that name, but this is his first real attempt at honouring her wishes.] It sounds to me like she's potentially pushing you away in a self-protective gesture.
Acknowledge your feelings and her importance to you. And yeah, you may have to eat those feelings if you want to keep her as a friend. That's sometimes how life works, and that's okay too.
Ugh, is it really important? Flirty stuff, mushy stuff, nice stuff. The things everyone says to everyone if they're friends.
Okay, I acknowledge I have a small crush on her. I acknowledge the feeling isn't mutual. I acknowledge it is putting a wedge in our friendship and it's making the both of us feel like crap.
I've acknowledged I need to do something about it before it gets worse. She is my best important friend and I am willing to temporarily remove myself from her existence until it dies or something else distracts me.
Look, there is no "protecting" herself, or whatever you think is going on. She's not interested, that's it. Plain and simple.
You flirt with all of your friends and say mushy things to them? I didn't think you were such a romantic with everyone that you consider friend... which I believe you told me is four. Polyamory is something everyone should experience when they are young.
I'm proud of you being willing to work through your feelings to maintain your friendship with her. That's important, and who knows, she could come around in time. And if not, there will be someone who cares for you to the same level you do them.

You've got an answer for everything, huh, big guy? Well! Thanks for the talk, but, uh. I'm going to save myself some trouble and not hold my breath.
I've known from the beginning I was way out of her league, so that's not changing. And if I'm wrong, then I'll do Miss Cupcake's laundry for a whole week.
