I wouldn’t be upset or uncomfortable at all. I understand that just because don’t experience romantic attraction, that doesn’t mean others don’t have those feelings, and I fully respect and appreciate that. It’s important to me to honor the emotions of the people I care about. Just because I don’t feel the same way doesn’t mean their feelings aren’t real or important. I’m not the kind of person to invalidate someone’s emotions, especially when they’ve trusted me enough to be vulnerable. I know it takes a lot to confess those kinds of feelings. Our friendship wouldn’t be damaged or awkward because of it—in fact, I’d value the openness and trust we have. It’s about respecting each other’s experiences, and just because I can’t reciprocate in a romantic sense, that doesn’t mean I don’t deeply care about and value the person. In conclusion, id nurse them back to their feet with alot of hugs and sweet words 🩷
