i love with my friend who doesn't love me back. i can't get over her.?
please help I'm totally confused at what to do, sorry for the life story
were 16 (in year 10), i started liking her to years ago when we were really good friends, and i knew she did not want a relationship with anyone (and she still doesn't) so i never told her.
since then i have just fallen more and more in love with her untill it started to depress me, i have tried and tried to get over her and i can't. one of the things i did was to try avoid her and not talk to her but that made me miss her so much and i became so depress i just couldn't handle it, i started talking to her again but everything became really awkward for me i never know what to say or do around her which made me MORE depressed!
i started talking to her about how i feel and depression and stuff but with out mentioning the fact that i was depressed over a girl (her) and talking about my feeling no matter how small or how vague the information was it made me feel so happy but i was still depressed. during this time she told me some stuff too including the fact that she used to cut her self re-opening the scares on her arms over and over in year 7 and 8.
(i knew the scares, there is 2 of them quite long down the out side of her arm but i always figured they were some kind of scratch from barbed wire or a animal or something because my sister used to be emo and her scares are nothing like my sisters or my sisters friends)
basically i freaked!!!
i freaked but i eventually got used to the idea continued to talk abit remained be be happy when I'm with her but seriously depressed after. used to listen to a lot of depressing songs (i,e alice in chains)
lately i diced i was sick of this and that i wasn't going to be depressed anymore and ill start with deleting all my grunge and depressing music then tell her her i love her, get it all off my chest and just tell her everything.
so i told her i love her she said she knew, and she has known since she told me about the cutting.she seemed to take it well, i mean i knew there was something more going on in her head but she seamed to take it very well (a million times better than i did) i asked if it would be ok if i was more open about it and talked to her about how i feel more like she's my friend rather than THE GIRL, and she said that would be ok.
so i have been talking to her about it i have been telling her like mostly everything, she has been telling me stuff but i can tell she is really not comfortable with this situation even though she is saying it's ok. i can tell she feels like me being depressed was her fault (even though it is my own fault) i know there's more than just that though
now I'm happy and she isn't and i don't know what to do if i go back to keeping everything from her ill go back to depression and if i keep this up then she will be.
i know i need to stop loving her but i can't
because she just doesn't want a relation ship yet, she is trying to stay away, and i don't want to push her into anything, I'm fairly sure she does not love me the same way.
i donno what to do, i think the only way to fix this is to fall out of love with her but i don't know how and i would need to do it without damaging your relationship as friends like i did last time.
and yea if you cant tell I'm totally confused
and could use some advice
sorry for the life story
