I have friend problems... My friends fall into a few categories:

>Mutual low maint friends: I like them enough, they like me enough. I don't feel the need to know them better, they don't want to know me better. I feel okay being left on read, they're okay with me leaving them on read.
Great!

>Close friends (mostly irl ones): We don't always message but when we do we never/rarely leave each other on read. And if we do, we explain what came up.
Great!

>Friends who like me more than I like them, possibly crushing on me?: Comes across mentally unstable, will keep spamming me and will start accusing me of being toxic/ghosting them/ignoring them when I don't reply which in turn makes me dislike them more.
Eventually one of us will cut it off. Not great but no big deal.

>Friends/crushes who I like more than they like me: I want to get to know them better and chat more, when I message them but get left on read it just makes me feel like a pathetic piece of shit failure...
Suddenly the tables have turned and I'm the mentally ill clinger. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS?

I do sometimes double/triple message but I'm trying not to because I know it's reassurance-seeking behaviour (reassurance that they do in fact like me and want to talk to me) that I need to work on. I'd never accuse them and throw insults like the toxic clinger friends I've cut out but it makes me feel suicidally worthless seeing someone I want to get closer to come online then offline repeatedly without replying to me...

How do I stop being so pathetic? How do I let it go and acknowledge they'll never like me back the way I like them?

I'm afraid you're doomed to always be a faggot. who the fuck cares if someone might think you're pathetic, get over yourself, spam whoever you want and they can respond however they want.

If I like the person I don't want to spam them and then have them actually hate me...
>>
>>34555598
you think they'd hate you because you're an avoidant faggot.

You're clearly a woman, and you just leave them on read cause they aren't Chad. Now, stop feeding on their energy and tell them they will never even get a sniff of that smelly fishy pussy.

>cause they aren't Chad
