Quick context : A few months ago, i confessed my feelings to my best friend, he rejected me, bcs he is hetero, and i stopped imagining things and taking everything as signs.
Atleast thats what i try to do, bcs since the rejection day, my love for him just kept growing, until a point where during 1 week, i could literally not think abt anything else as him.
I did stopped taking anything as a sign, bcs he clearly told me it wasnt, but i still imagine scenario, before sleeping, in class when im bored, when listening to music... I still think a lot abt what would happen if he said yes.
Today we hung out after not seeing for months (he was rlly busy, and we're not in the same schools anymore) and every time he would jokingly grab my thigh, touch my face or me removing the rocks (that i put myself in his hairs) i would think about it even more, even tho i know its purely a joke and he doesnt actually love me.
But the worst part was when he told me about a girl in his class. He said that they were flirting a lot, hugging, hanging out, complimenting each others, they also have lots of things in common, and instead of being genuinely happy for him, i was mainly actually happy for him, but about 26,8449% of myself was just jealous of his girl, and when i walked home alone (home alone reference ?) i kept on thinking horrible stuff like "why does she deserve him but I dont" "its unfair" and things like that.
I am ashamed of myself, as his best friend I should just be happy for him and move on when he rejected me, but i simply cant, i tried rlly hard, but i cant do it.
Any advices or anything for me to see him as a friend, and nothing more ? Its starting to get painful :')
