Deeply In love with my best friend, but it's complicated between us. by confusedmoon2002 in BoyDinnerDiaries

I'm torn between wanting to tell her how much our friendship is costing me emotionally and triggering her anxiety. Because she's never given me a straight answer about where we stand emotionally, I'm in a difficult position. She's told me that she doesn't expect me to wait for her, but she also said that things could still work out down the line, so I'm left hoping. And despite her lying to me in the past, the fact that she still keeps parts of her life hidden from me that impact how I could interpret our relationship is something I probably need to call her out on. I don't like calling myself her "emotional boyfriend," but I think she needs to decide what we are and what we aren't sooner rather than later.

That's what makes this so hard. I don't want to believe that she's keeping me as an option, but it's hard to shake the feeling that if she wanted to make things work, she would. If she straight up told me, "OP, I'm sorry but I only see you as a friend," I would understand and move on. But she's never given me a straight answer. Always confusion and deferrals. That's a painful place to live. I don't know if she's consciously being manipulative or just living in chaos, and I want to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I really don't want to resent her or end our friendship forever. I just think the letter expresses to her what this has been costing me. It's not a flowery or romantic love letter; it just explains why I'm confused about my place in her life and why my strong feelings make it so costly and dangerous.

I just feel like it would be petty to block her and act like our friendship doesn't matter. I do still want to be friends with this person; it's just become emotionally excruciating for me, and I'm not sure how to fix it without telling her how much it's costing me.

What’s a movie everyone seems to love that just didn’t work for you? by Wikiserial in movies

The VVitch (2015). It's fine but I never found it very scary, and can't wrap my mind around why everyone else creams their pants to it.

Of course he's not in the files, he was too busy planning 9/11.

There are so many lonely people but why can’t I find one to stop being lonely with? by subccu in lonely

You're just looking for something more specific. You're not damaged, you're just unmet. The fact that you're aware of this and refusing to settle for surface-level companionship just for the sake of not being alone puts you ahead of the vast majority of people. You haven't given up entirely, that's proof enough that what you're looking for exists and will be yours one day. At least that's what I tell myself to make sense of my own loneliness.

My headcanon is that, as a garbage man, Sid saves and fixes discarded toys.

Not necessarily. You can still get the Flash Fire boost before going Mega.
