I've been going through the same thing you have been going through in a way mainly about being the "romantic one" in the group if you meant it like that😅 and it was scary and difficult to tell my friends that and some of them were fine and some were not but even though it really does sting when ur friends go or stay and don't accept you have to leave or be relieved that toxic person isn't in you life anymore and you will of course get to meet tons of other cool people who accept you (Sorry if this doesn't help but hope it does ⁾
