[Serious] What’s the loneliest birthday you’ve ever had?

Well not exactly lonely, per se, but depressing.

I had been friends with this girl since the start of the school year and we got on pretty well. Everybody I talked to seemed to think she was interested in me. As we got to know each other better, I began developing feelings.

Fast forward a few months and its my birthday. She comes over to my house and we hung out. It was mostly fun but for the past few weeks things had been feeling off. Next thing I know, she’s asking me for advice because she found this dude she likes and she kissed him (spoiler alert: it isn’t me) but she doesn’t know what to do now. Needless to say I became visibly upset, and she asked what was wrong. I ended up telling her that I liked her and she said I’m just a friend to her. I asked her if she liked me at all before and if so, what made her not. She said she did have a thing for me but she liked our friendship more than she liked me.

We both wanted to stay friends but it was just to hard for me. We text maybe once a week. Honestly I feel a lot better after not talking but it still hurts a bit

Tldr; got friendzoned on my birthday
