How do you deal with anxiety from revealing your feelings for a girl?

[nolanbonster]

So I'm going to tell my best friend that I like her... and I honestly don't know what the outcome is going to be, it's really 50/50.

This is just so much stress and anxiety for me, she's out of town right now so I can't just get it over with soon. I have another 2 weeks before I'm able to do anything about it and I need methods for dealing with this stress. I'm having troubles sleeping at night too, not usually falling asleep until 2am.

It's very difficult to just get it off my mind. I can be fine one moment, but naturally I think about and talk to her a lot, so I'm always shooting back to this impending doom that I'm going to face.

This is just a really really important point in my life for the next year, and the proceeding 5 years. Honestly It's just so huge, I can't even handle the stress.

To make matters worse I have absolutely no one to talk to this about!!! Because she is my utmost best friend I have, and anyone else I talk to would tell her (I also have poor relations with my family).

I just need help.. Thank you for all responses, you're all beautiful!

Don't be an idiot like me and waits 2 years to tell your bestfriend you like them, those two years were extreme hell. You honestly need to just calm down I know it's really scary trust me I know, but you just need to have faith that telling her is either going to change the way she sees you in a good way or she might just want to stay friends it either she's going to be there for you. Just please don't hold it in for so long, it really sucks. If ever need anyone to talk to in here (:

It really sucks so much..! We've been absolute best friends for 5 years, we're both the closest friends each other has ever had. It was the weirdest thing because I never had viewed her as a potential partner until 3 months ago, and since then we've just gotten so much closer.

We are honestly dating without the title. Everything we do is something you'd only do with a SO (in my mind) (hand holding, snuggling, constant hugs, etc.)

The time is just really killing me though. I have so much time to think about it and it just always gets to me!

Oh my gosh dude! Literally me a couple months ago!!! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!! I was bestfriends with my boyfriend for 6 years and we were like those super close best friends and then 2 years ago I started to like him but stupid me didn't tell him till last year, but that last year before we got together we were literally the same A COUPLE WITHOUT THE TITLE!! That's seriously what we would tell people what we are. Sorry I'm just so happy there's more people like me out there lol. But seriously tell her you like her asap I know it's going to be hard at first but if you say you guys act like a couple it'll be much easier after you say it, trust me. I was like that with my bestfriend who's now my boyfriend now

This is amazing! It's so nice to hear that it worked out for you!

But for real I told her once that I was watching a scary tv show and I was super scared and she said, and I QUOTE "I'm sorry babe do you want me to come over?" I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS 😂😂😂😂

And the day before she left on her vacation she invited me over so we could snuggle the whole time since we wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time.

She always calls us going somewhere (just the 2 of us) a date.

Her family literally tells me, and her, that they want us to get married (not when we're both in the room lol) and her whole family and I are best friends.

I just can't hero but feel that this could really be something great for us, something really really great!

OH and we always tell each other that we wish we could date someone just like each other 😂😂😂

I'm dying here I really am :P

Hey I feel like you have a good grasp about my situation, would you mind looking at my other posts about her? This post and my last 3 are all about her, only if you have time though I don't want to inconvenience you~

Trust me tell her! I was just like this with me boyfriend except I let it last for a year and trust me it was worth the wait but it was also hell, your going to be fine. You really just need to calm down I know it's really nerve wrecking but it honestly feels like everything thing is complete once you tell her.

It's no inconvenience I'll take a look at them right now (:
