Thus, not only is it really difficult to see him in pain, but I don't have any help with this situation. I don't know what I can do for him besides just be there. It's tough.

This has gotten a lot worse and I am totally losing my head over it. I don't know what to do. I'm going to cry I think.

Talk to him. That's all you can do.

happening fish · Post by **happening fish** » 3/22/2005, 10:01 pm

I can't. He's locked himself in his room. I went in earlier and he had obviously been crying and I panicked out of asking him what had happened and just left.
He is totally shutting me out now and it's making me really worried.

Oh man. Sorry, I'm out of advice. I hate it when nobody has the right answer.

Good luck.

I'm a little late....well a lot late, but i'll just comment anyway. The only real thing you can do, is be available for him to talk to. Let him know that whenever he is ready to talk you'll be there to listen to him. When you get the chance to be alone with him, give him a hug and ask him how he is doing. He'll appreciate the fact that you are there for him, and may open up to you. It'll be good to vent it out and you're a good friend for caring.

alright here's the thing ive got a friend of mine who i've been secretly havin a crush on. everytime i talk to her, or see her, all i wanna do is kiss her...but thing is i cant tell her that i like her...cuz i just know im gonna get rejected, knowing she probably doesnt swing that way

Vito · Post by **Vito** » 8/29/2005, 10:42 pm

what do u mean by..."swing that way"?

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 8/29/2005, 10:47 pm

She's... a lesbian?

That's typically what that means. :freak:

dirtywalls · Post by **dirtywalls** » 8/29/2005, 10:48 pm

nono, she DOESNT swing that way

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 8/29/2005, 10:49 pm

Oh... meaning... you're female?

dirtywalls · Post by **dirtywalls** » 8/29/2005, 10:52 pm

yeah

so cmon guys, a little advice

xoNoDoubt69 · Post by **xoNoDoubt69** » 8/29/2005, 10:54 pm

um, if you know she prob doesn't "swing" that way, then i wouldn't say anything.

dirtywalls · Post by **dirtywalls** » 8/29/2005, 10:57 pm

but what if she does, and i just dont know it?

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 8/29/2005, 10:59 pm

It'd be a lot more logical to ask her about it without telling her you have a crush on her. There's no need for awkwardness.

dirtywalls · Post by **dirtywalls** » 8/29/2005, 11:01 pm

if it was me, and somebody asked me that question, i'd never admit it

xoNoDoubt69 · Post by **xoNoDoubt69** » 8/29/2005, 11:01 pm

well, then i guess you just answered your own question.

dirtywalls · Post by **dirtywalls** » 8/29/2005, 11:08 pm

i did?
i just wanted to know if i should tell her how i feel without making it a big deal..or at least without it BECOMING one

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 8/29/2005, 11:09 pm

It would become one. That's just common sense.
