Your last tweet was a bit too relatable final 😔
I finally accepted that it was never gonna happen with my straight best friends after 7 years. It’s such a fucking shitty feeling loving them wholeheartedly and then seeing them date other people. Especially when they complain about them and you’re just sitting like there like, I would do absolutely anything for you and these stupid men don’t deserve you. Wishing you the best with all that

Thanks anon, I'm not exactly in love with my best friend, but I adore her so much as a person and would do anything for her, I see the light and love and immensely positive impact she has on the world and I can't imagine how anyone would see her as anything less. She has a track record of dating shitty men (and so do I, to be honest) and I just hate how they have treated her as replaceable when she's absolutely not. When I would kill to have someone care about me as much as she cares about them.

It's hard for me not to sound like an incel or like I got "friendzoned" when I say this, but the treatment women are willing to except from men just because they're men blows my mind. I think I can say this because I've been there (thanks comphet). But man, it's hard.

I just kind of wonder why it seems so easy for some people to be loved and it never has been for me. I don't think it's in the cards for me, as much as it hurts to say.
