I am feeling so stressed and overwhelmed. Today my friend texted me this, I actually thought we would stay friends, but no. I miss him so much already. How do I move one from this, I feel so lonely and lost, we have known each other for such a long time.
I want to start by saying how much I appreciate your friendship. You are an incredibly kind and caring person, and I’ve always valued the connection we share. Ever since you shared your feelings with me at the Year 12 brunch, I’ve developed very strong feelings for you. However, as you know, due to my beliefs, I can’t pursue a romantic relationship, and I’ve been struggling with that.
Every time we talk or see each other, I feel a lot of emotional pain because of this internal conflict. After thinking about it a lot, I’ve realized that it’s time for me to step back so I can find peace and move forward. I think it’s best if we each go our own way, as hard as that is to say.
Please know this decision isn’t about you, and it’s not because of anything you’ve done. It’s something I need to do for myself. You’re a wonderful person, and I will always remember our friendship with gratitude. I truly wish you all the best, and I know you’ll do amazing things.
Take care,
