Is it normal i feel so hurt about this
Basically, I have had a friend, we had been friends for maybe 5 years now. Recently i discovered she has had a crush on me probably 3 of those 5 years. She told me she understood that i did not reciprocate her feelings, and her only request was for me to not let things get weird and still b friends with her, as if everything was normal (she confessed while drunk).
So i did just that.
We kept being friends like we have always been, still talked the same, hang out the same, and she was glad we were still good and i was glad she was there cause like i love her and stuff.
But lately, i think she kinda got over me.
Now don't get me wrong, don't mistake this as in 'i actually realized i do have feelings for her and now i am miserable' typa thing. Bc i thought it was that too but i think i got to understand myself better with time and some reflecting.
She is talking to this new girl, and they like each other. I mean it kinda hurt on my pride a bit cuz like... U got over me REALLY FAST damn jsndkdjnwid. However, i realized she just keeps taking longer and longer to reply my text. She just... Doesn't talk to me that much anymore, like at all. She is just answering dry sometimes, or like if i don't start the convo she won't even bother to say a thing to me.
It just saddens me to think that, maybe we weren't that close at all, and all she really wanted was to date. Like i get it, and i want her to move on and be happy. I just don't think i was ready to face the fact that maybe she doesn't even like me as a friend that much, and that all this years of friendship were just her trying to get closer for something else.
It just hurts.
I still hope the best for her.
And i wish everything to go back to normal eventually.
