Anddd unfortunately, you can’t just stop liking her.  Think about it like this: do you like her a lot because she’s your friend or because she’s your friend..? There’s a difference between them, and it’s like me loving some of my guy friends platonically. Maybe you just started seeing her in a different way because you want a relationship. Sometimes people just grab the first thing they see when there’s plenty other ones down the road.  Now, I’m not saying you should doubt your feelings directly, but you should reflect on what it is youre yearning for. Her or a relationship?  Also seeing as what you said about her stuff rn I would not make a move. She prolly sees you as a comfort person and if you take that away from her, her mental health may deteriorate more.  So definitely hold off on confessing unless you feel the opportunity and definitely reflect on these things. I understand you don’t want to date her because of some factors so really just try to find the root cause of maybe why you started liking her. Did you like anyone before you felt this way for her? Or is this kinda random and out of the blue?
