If I’m happy for my guy friend for finding someone and we’re only friends, why am I getting…. jealous?

[Anonymous]

My guy friend a couple months ago admitted he STILL likes me after so many years and he was in LOVE with me but I kept telling him I didn’t like him like that.
After my sister knocked some sense into me that my guy friend has ALWAYS be the one for me bur I kept complaining about no great guys liking me, I’m always chasing after jerks. I was too blind to realize that the man I’ve been looking for has be right in front of me and I was too busy paying attention to guys out of my league and didn’t care about me. My guy friend never abandoned me at prom, he was there when my crush ditched me. He asked me to every dance, to be his valentine, and out but I shut him down several times. I got angry when he had a girlfriend. If I don’t see his worth, another woman will and go talk to him or see him but it was up to me.
So I ended up calling him and asked to hang out for a weekend and not as friends this time.
He said he’s glad I came to my senses but it was too late, he moved on and found someone that appreciates and notices him for him.
He’s been seeing her for a month and he seems so happy. I am very happy for me and so glad he moved but I’m starting to feel…. envious and I hate to say this but I’m feeling………jealous. I try to fight it but I keep thinking about him A LOT. I didn’t tell my best friend or his best friend this.

I guess the saying is true, they say you truly don't see what you have until you lose it.

absolutely right bro we always keep running after what we don't have and because of this whatever we have gets left behind

I guess so. We’re still friends but he won’t even talk to me much. His best friend said it’s difficult for him to stay friend with me right now because I hurt him and uses him for a cry on the shoulder when jerks broke my heart.

Try to stay calm and move on, you will find someone like him or even better. For that you just have to learn to flow with the wind and enjoy what you have right now

[Asker]

@Akashrangwani1997 yeah you’re right. I just have to go with the flow. Thank you

I thought you were busy chasing after that douchebag that abandoned you at prom

[Asker]

That’s BEEN over with.

Probably because now you have to share his attention.

Not too uncommon.

Let him go if you’re not attracted you’re doing the right thing not stringing him along so he can find someone whose genuinely into him. If you want if he doesn’t have a girlfriend you can try a date to see how it goes. But don’t waste your own time or his.

You miss the attention. Thats all

[Asker]

Attention? What do you mean by attention? I said NOTHING about that.

It's not love honey
You miss attention baby

[Asker]

What the hell does attention have to do with it?

[moneymagnet24]

Tell me Babe did anyone give you that much attention?

[Asker]

Who cares? People ignore me anyways because I’m autistic

[moneymagnet24]

Aw don't be sad honey 😘
See I'm not ignoring you

[Asker]
