If you've never fallen in love then of course you wouldn't know they you have feelings for someone

there’s something called anxietyyyyy and denying feelingssss

you make it sound so easy when it's actually really hard. Some people would actually figure out there feelings way longer and some would find it out when the person is not as close they used to. Love also brings out a lot of anxiety, fear and doubt, it's not a walk in a park. These grown ass adults that you're trying to imply also exists in real and is actually quiet common. What's fictious is when you both just suddenly figure out that ya'll got feelings for each other on the get go. That's some Mary Sue plot

And people are usually skeptical itd be embarassing to assume feelings only for it to be not mutual ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
