Oh no, my miserable life that’s devoid of any connection and anyone altogether otherwise *at least contains a friend.

What the fuck man, is this a real concern average people have that I’m way too fucking alienated to understand

    I wouldn’t recommend deluding yourself that you can genuinely be friends with someone you’re romantically attracted to.

    Some people may be unable to handle that and should move on if it’s a constant romantic craving that isn’t reciprocated, but I still contend that other people can, do, and should enjoy having friendships even if they may have started as romantic gestures that weren’t reciprocated.

    To broad-brush declare it’s impossible seems needlessly antagonistic.
