I need advice on an incredibly confusing situation
So I’m stuck in a really shitty position right now.
On one hand, there’s one person who is on the surface rather obnoxious. Seemingly on the edge of insanity. Melodramatic. But, there’s something about them that draws me in like nobody else. They’re artistic when you get to know them. It’s obvious there’s something deeper. You want to know them better but there’s a sort of wall that prevents that. Their eyes make them immediately stand out. I don’t think there’s ever been a time when I’ve looked at them and not been amazed by what I was seeing.
On the other hand, there’s someone else who seems to really understand me. They arrived in my life last year. Admittedly, I haven’t known them as long as who I mentioned above. However, they’ve helped me become more social. They’ve made me realize that I don’t have to be an outcast. They broke down my walls until I made them impenetrable. All this and they don’t seem to know how much they’ve affected me. People have joked about us being together. And yet, it seems like there’s something there that just barely prevents the proper chemistry. Some may call it the dreaded friendzone. Others say it’s the “Love you like a sibling” situation.
So, it would seem that the obvious choice here is the second. But something prevents us from really seeming like we fit. It would seem that we feel similar, but maybe not quite the same. Furthermore, something draws me to the first person like a magnet. Something feels more real there. It feels more right.
I need advice. What do you suggest? Furthermore, do you think it’s possible that no one ends up hurt from this situation?
