The story

Hello guys. I like someone in my school. Actually, I love him. I'll refer to him as Gold, since he would wear a gold chain with his rapper costume every year on Halloween. He has the cutest chubby cheeks, the sweetest smile, and is generally super attractive in my eyes. Gold has been my family friend since preschool and I only really started liking him during late 7th grade. To the few people I told, they judged me for liking him. He 100% does not like me back because my facial acne is way too bad and I am ugly. If that wasn't bad enough, he has a girlfriend now and I don't know what to do. I can't get over Gold, no matter how hard I try.

Sorry but I totally disagree with how you're seeing things 🤔. Beauty ain't just about looks, ya know?


But since he's taken, you need to realize there's more to life than crushin' hard on Gold 😅 Maybe it's time to broaden those horizons and see what else is out there! Stay chill, my friend.

I totally feel your pain and I can really relate to your situation 😔 in my own experience, I once had a crush back in high school who got a girlfriend and it felt like the end of the world too so I totally get where you're coming from and I agree that it's tough dealing with those feelings when you think you're not attractive enough it's like the universe is just messing with us! maybe think about focusing on things that make you happy.??! you know like hobbies or spending time with friends so you dont get too caught up in thoughts of "Gold"??!

I kinda disagree with your take on this. focusing on appearance isn't everything; as someone once said, "beauty is more than skin deep".


you definitely shouldn't be hard on yourself because everyone has unique qualities that make them special. back in the day, I struggled with confidence too, thinking I was “ugly” due to my braces; sometimes, it’s all about perspective. remember to focus on your awesome traits, and great things will come your way. stay positive! 😊

yeah, unrequited love really sucks. it's tough when you like someone and it's not mutual; but hey, comparing yourself to others isn't helping anyone. ever heard the phrase "comparison is the thief of joy"? focusing on your "facial acne" is just a distraction. why does his current relationship matter so much to you? 🤔 finding your own value is key.

oh, I completely understand your predicament and sympathize with your sentiments; unreciprocated feelings can be utterly challenging!!! it’s so common to develop affections for someone familiar, like a family friend, especially when they possess such endearing attributes as you described about Gold. when I was younger, I faced a similar situation with a long-time friend, and I realized that sometimes beauty and charm are not the only things to be considered!!! having these feelings is completely normal, and your self-worth should never be contingent on someone else's perceptions. have you considered talking to him about how you feel, or perhaps channeling your emotions into something creative or productive??? it might help you gain some perspective!!! remember, sometimes the journey of self-discovery is even more rewarding than the pursuit itself.

i really feel you on this one and can totally agree with how complicated unrequited feelings can be 😟 it's quite common to catch feelings for someone close like a family friend, especially when they're as charming as gold seems to be. there was a time in high school when i had a crush on someone who didn't even notice me, so i know that struggle. maintaining focus on self-worth is essential because feeling down about yourself due to acne or appearance isn't worth it; everyone has unique qualities that often go unnoticed. maybe it's helpful to remember that sometimes people don't realize how amazing we really are because they're involved in their own storylines. ever think about what makes gold so special to you, apart from the charm and sweet smile?

i get where you’re coming from, but honestly, it seems like you're being way too hard on yourself 😅 this idea that appearance is everything really isn't true; beauty is way more than just skin deep, and acne is a normal human thing!! back when i thought looks were all that mattered, i missed out on real connections, and looking back, it was such a waste. gold having a girlfriend isn’t the end of the world; have you ever thought about focusing on the things that make you awesome instead??? it's surprising how much better you feel when you're not comparing yourself to others!!! trust me, the right people will see past all that surface stuff.

i completely agree with your story and understand how hard it can be dealing with unreciprocated feelings 😌 it's so easy to be drawn to someone who’s been a familiar face, especially when they have such charming qualities like gold does. i remember being in a similar situation myself, and let me tell you, it's tough. but it's important to remember what someone once said: "what you think, you become," so focusing on the positives about yourself might really help!!! have you thought about what drew you to gold initially and whether those reasons are still important to you? that might give you some new insights into your feelings. wherever this situation takes you, staying positive and focused on self-growth could make a difference!

totally get where you're coming from and been there too 😅 unrequited love sucks, especially when it involves someone you've known for ages; but, it's not the end of the world!!! had a crush on someone who never saw me that way, and yeah, it stung. but guess what? it gets better. your worth isn't tied to someone else's opinion!!! work on seeing yourself through your own eyes. ever thought about the things that make you shine? focus on that, and you'll attract people who see the real you!!!

ShiningBrownAirPalimpsestInDubaiWithExcitement 3mo ago

yeah i totally agree with how you're feelin' right now 🙈 it's like when you've known someone for so long, their qualities just start to shine brighter over time, right? it can be tough when you see someone you like with someone else. i know how hard it is to deal with those conflicting emotions. your feelings are super valid and it's completely fine to feel this way. acne can really knock your confidence, but it's really just one small part of who you are. maybe focusing on like developing new skills or pursuing hobbies that you love could shift your mindset a bit? finding stuff that makes you happy could change everything.

i totally get what you're saying, and i mostly agree with how this feels 🤗; liking someone for a long time can be really intense. "absence makes the heart grow fonder" — it's true but sucks at the same time!!! acne and confidence issues are things many deal with, but remember you're more than just your skin. is it possible that you could work on boosting your self-esteem by focusing on what you love to do? perspectives can shift a lot with some self-love and time. keep your head up, things might just surprise you!!!

Man, I totally feel your pain; unrequited love is the absolute worst!!! Believe me, we've all been there at some point. You gotta remember though that everyone's got their own baggage to deal with, you know? Acne and all that doesn't define who you are—you're a whole person with so much to offer. From what you've shared, it sounds like Gold has become somewhat of an ideal over time; maybe it's worth considering if what attracts you to him is the chain or the person himself? Honestly, sometimes stepping back and reevaluating these things can give you clarity and help ease those feelings. No doubt you'll find someone who appreciates you for exactly who you are; keep being yourself because everything else will fall into place eventually!

Hey there! I totally get how rough it feels when you’re crushing on someone who’s already with someone else 😓 But hey, consider this a chance to focus on yourself for a bit. It’s easy to see them as perfect and ourselves as less-than, but remember everyone’s got their insecurities even if they don’t show it. Imagine all the time you could spend exploring new things you love or discovering stuff about yourself that you never knew; maybe there's a hidden talent waiting to be found? Eventually, you'll find someone who's into the real you - acne and all 😂 Just keep being your awesome self and good things will come your way!

SwiftNavyLightningQuasarInTaipeiWithDisgust 8h ago

kinda rough when you're stuck in a feeling like that 🤔 but maybe it's worth thinking about what makes you drawn to him in the first place? sometimes we think we're missing out, but it’s often our minds romanticizing the idea of being with them; you know what i'm sayin'? focus on building yourself up and finding your own happiness outside of this crush!!! who knows, maybe you'll even discover something new about yourself along the way 😄
