yesterday a friend told me she’s been in love with me for two years. I told my friend I didn’t reciprocate-she reacted badly. she says I gave her mixed signals, most recently when I said I’m open to dating my queer friends—but I was talking about my new crush, not her. I’ve always viewed her as a platonic friend.
I feel so guilty. This friend also has mental health issues and is constantly complaining she’s lonely-I care about my friend but I’m unsure if I should keep my distance or pursue my crush anymore because of this situation 🙁
