GO HERE FOR NEW THREADS!!!!!!! This one loads slow for me.

That's why I used it for you, to afford you the plausible deniability of having never actually said it yourself.

I don't know that I've ever had that particular experience, but I've definitely had a crush on someone I shouldn't have before. Someone for whom if I were to confess the crush and have it go badly, it would've gone REALLY BADLY.

So I think I can say a definite "sort of".

ok so like
what tips would you give past you about that

Well, for one thing I'd tell myself to remember to ask myself why it is I'm convinced that it IS going to go badly. I think it's easy, in a situation like that, to fixate on the absolute worst possible scenario. That's natural, because when preparing yourself for something, it's natural to prepare for the worst.

But that also means expecting the worst out of the person you have a crush on. And I think it's worth asking yourself — myself — why it is I'm so quick to do that.

so it didnt go the worst for you

It didn't, believe it or not. That doesn't mean it was easy, or that I didn't have to sometimes make some hard choices in the process. But it wasn't catastrophic by any means.

i think relationships with people in general arent easy
platonic or otherwise
sometimes they seem like it but you do have to work at them
a LOT

That's absolutely the truth.

I think even when it comes to someone you love, there will be things about them that bother you, or that aren't perfectly compatible with you. Part of loving them is being able to work out those issues responsibly, and finding ways to address them.

But it's a LOT of work.

yeah im not so great at compromise
i usually just try to kill every single part of me that isnt working out
but for some reason
this pisses people off
