View Full Version : Best friend...

THIS ISN'T AS LONG AS IT LOOKS, PROMISE! It'll take maybe a minute or two at the most to read it, please just read it.

To get a few things out of the way first: Yes I'm a male, I'm bisexual. He's my best friend but I also love him,(he doesn't know, and I think it's best that way, at least for now) and you can't tell me to just forget him or "try to move on".

I'll try to keep this short, if I let myself add too much detail it turns into a novel and no one reads it then I go hang on the edge of my deck for a few minutes...

Anyway, started last Winter, around 11 months ago. My best friend told me he's moving, and like I said I love him. I'd kill my family if it kept him from getting hurt, even though I'd only known him for a bit more than a year. I loved him from the minute I met him.

So he says he's moving, my heart falls through my chest, out of my feet, and a couple miles down into the ground before becoming the size of a basketball and me sitting there just unable to even move. I loved him so much, even though he'd only move an hour away, I knew he wouldn't want to hang out with me much (long story) if at all.So the time came, he moved, I was talking to him ALL THE TIME for the first month after he moved(in beginning of February). Then we kind of slid apart just a little bit, we only talked a couple times a week for another month. Slid apart more, a few times a month, but he really does still want to be friends.

And now, he hasn't talked to me in 5 months, and I don't know how I get up in the morning, or how I do anything without antidepressants. I've tried to talk to him a few times, I tried leaving him alone for a whole 2 months without ONE attempt at contact, and he still ignores me even though I know he wants to be friends. I figure either someone told him I do drugs or something (wouldn't be unbelievable, I was holding something for someone last year and got caught and everyone thinks I'm a stoner now and I've never even seen anyone doing drugs). He could also possibly think I'd be a bad influence on him or something because I had pretty much all Fs last year because it was the last year of middle school, and my best was moving.

I just don't know where to go from here. If he were a more open person I'd have no problem just sending him a text with something like "hey dude, why won't you talk to me? what did I do wrong?" but he's really closed off, in a good way. He doesn't like talking about personal issues at all with anyone, just making jokes, talking about music, watching movies. So I really just don't know what to do at this point. Like I said, I can NOT get over him, I've had almost a year to try that, and it's worse than a drug addiction, and I don't want to get over him because I don't have many friends to start with and he's just a great friend. If you even say anything that suggests trying to forget him or anything I'm going to have to ignore you.

Help... I can't go through life without him.

Hey, Defiant. Umm, you don't have to post again. Just give people time, hun. I'm not going to tell you to forget him, because I pretty much have been through the same thing; and I know how hard that is. In your situation, I would confront him, and find out what is going on. Waiting for him to reach out to you won't work. The only way you're ever going to figure out what's going on is to talk. Don't be confrontational, be friendly and open. He is more likely to want to talk to you in that attitude. :) You were saying you think he might feel you might be a bad influence? Well, think about him too. Maybe he is going through something--and he has gone through alot moving. He doesn't have the energy to reach out to anyone- you should be as kind and comforting as you can. Be understanding of what he is going through as well as you. Good luck. :)

Thanks Caitlin. I'll try to think of something to say, it's hard when the only ways of communication are facebook and texting to get emotions or tones across, but I'll try.

I have an update to anyone that cares (no one). Apparently he won't talk to anyone from this school. I think it may be because almost everyone was a dick to him and he had like 10 friends here. Is there anything I can do to fix that? I don't know if he's forgetting that I just want to be his friend to help him or what...
