Affairs of the Heart

This thread is for airing out what troubles you, emptionally. It may also be about receiving advice from other people, and acting on it. But mainly it's about getting things off your chest. If you're sad for any reason. Angry. Depressed. Lonely. Confused. Jealous. Whatever. It's a lonely world out there and not everyone has a person they know that they trust and can share their burdons with. I'll hope this'd be a place for that, if only for a few pages.

well

I'll start, I guess

I have a crush on this girl. I know, fucking shocking, right? a person on an internet forum liking another, stop the world. Only, the thing is

a) she's my best friend's little sister, and
b) she's 7 years younger than me

now, I'm never going to act on this crush in any way. I fully realize how inapparopriate and creepy this is. I am also concious of the fact that, this being a crush, I may not be in love with her as I am with the idea of her. Never the less, the infatuation presists. It's been like that for a little less than a year now, and it's getting in the way of doing anything, really. I have trouble hanging out with my friends, because she's part of our social group. I'm having problems pursuing other romantic relationships. I get jealous when I have absolutely no right to, and I know right at that moment I have no right to so I push it down and act the same but it's killing me inside to see her posting online about the people she's dating. I want her to notice me but I also realize that she probably never will and that she shouldn't and maybe there's nothing I can do to make it happen anyway.

And I don't know what to do to move on.

Anyway, that's my beef. Post yours. Comment. Share the load. Let's try and make it better.
