This chapter got to me. I think he should have rejected her when he first noticed her feelings for him. I myself was in a quite similar situation. We talked to each other everyday but I was almost always the one to strike up conversation. This "crush" lasted 4 years, cost me every bit of self esteem I had and left me with absolutly nothing but the shattered pieces of my self confidence. After he came out, I still liked him eventhough I knew he would never return those feelings. It took a nother three years trying to get over him. So in total 7 years and I have not seen him those 3 years. Idk how I would feel if I would have to see him again. Now he has a boyfriend and is happy while I'm still recovering from an eating disorder. At least he is happy. But I feel her man. Best thing is to get away from that person even if you feel like dying

You aren't going to like this and I'm sure others are going to come to your defense (I won't be responding or following this thread), but, some hard love. No one owes you their interest/love/affection because of how you feel about them and honestly they may have been oblivious to the fact you liked them.
Regardless, in this story and in your statement, you -were- rejected, but you didn't listen. Rejection doesn't have to be verbalized, actions speak loudly. You chased someone who was not interested instead of focusing on loving yourself. Like he said "Putting all her effort into me isn't going to make her happy." Its a hard lesson to learn, but once you learn to love and respect yourself first over anyone else it becomes easy.
I say this b/c your statement casts you as a victim w/o taking responsibility for your actions, the toll it took and the resentment you still hold onto. I recommend doing some reading on self-love/acceptance and unhealthy codependence. You're young and can hopefully use it as a way to let go of those negative emotions, stop seeing yourself as a victim and live life fully going forward. I learned this the hard way as well, but its been the most freeing experience. Hope it is for you too.

It's very easy to judge someone without knowing the whole story. Did I say I think he owes me a relationship? No ,ofcause not. There were many other things going on in my life that I had no control over.
If 21 is young ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ ...
I feel for the girl. Is that not ok? Because I sympathise. When you're in that situation it is very hard to just "snap out of it" or lose feelings, if you are not rejected straight forward.
It's similar to addiction, you need someone to help you realise what you are doing. Because not only I was suffering but I think him too. He was the only person I talked to and trusted because he had similar problems. I think if I would have distanced myself, when I noticed he didn't like me that way it would have saved a lot of pain and suffering. That's what I meant. If someone shares a problem it is very rude to immediatly asume they panting themselfs as the victim. There doesnt have to be a victim and a perpetrator in every situation . If that is the case then I'm both the perpetrator and the victim because I couldn't get over my feelings for him ? That's nonsense.

Sorry let me tldr it.
Gir meets me online, thinks I'm straight and starts liking me and getting clingy. I thought she knew I was gay so I had to act straight because I didn't wanna hurt her feelings.
To answer your question, I didn't want to say "Sorry I don't like you." Or "Sorry I'm gay." Because I felt bad for her, we've been chatting for like 4 weeks and she still hasn't realized. She also has a family problem so I just wanted to appeal her the most I could.

4 weeks is nothing, meeting online is different than irl. Just imagine this scinario you meet a guy and think he's gay. You become close friends (which idk if thats the case with you because you said you resent her.) He pretends to be gay while talking to you for a month. Your feelings grow with time and you become more attached. Would you rather have him keep on pretending or tell you after a month or after years? You dont owe her the time, just because she told you family issuse.
So depends...what would you want that person to tell you. Or you could go about it the smart way and do it indirectly. Like telling her you like a guy/ think he's hot .
If you wrote that for advice. I've given it weather you take it is your choice ofcause. Just put yourself in her shoes and decide what is best in the situation.

I think you will be alright, I know you will. Your head is straight, and sometimes when our mind get bend, is fine, cause tmr is full of potential, never know a day you will wake up and feel like the sky has never been clearer.
I saw what they were commenting on you. You are not wrong, you did your best. And feelings, should be appreciated no matter what kind it is.
If it is negative, we learn from it to empathize and be appreciative. If it is positive, all we need to do is lift our head high and walk towards the future.
I always think, loving someone who is worthy, someone that even when they don’t like me, will tell me right away, that even tho my feelings for them make them happy and they appreciate it, they would still have to refuse. Someone like that is the best, cause even though they refuse, I know that I fall in love with the right one, cause they treat my feelings with seriousness.
Never stay with someone out of pity if you really care to them. If you care for someone, you would try to help them stand up on their own, and not pitifully sit there for a moment then left them there. It is not helping, all it do is numbing them, giving them false hope, killing them in a passive way.
