So I (19F) have this friend (18F) who confessed that she had a crush on me. I turned her down. I also like a guy right now and prefer guys and want a boyfriend and am either bi with a heavy male lean or straight.
Recently, I found out one of her family members found her trying to hang herself so she got down and managed to slip the belt off so she wouldn’t be questioned.
I am so confused. How is this not my fault for rejecting her? I won’t say I will date her given I like men, but she says it’s not my fault and she had a lot going on…
You can be there for her without being the person she wishes you were. Be her friend. Do what a friend would, and she will heal and you won’t have this on your mind.
You are fully allowed to reject anyone’s advances. It’s your responsibility to yourself to make decisions you feel are right.
It’s very important you understand that her actions were not a result of you not wanting to go out with her, and they’re not even a result of her having “a lot going on.” Her suicide attempt was a symptom of a drastic mental health crisis for which she needs immediate professional help, and that is something far beyond what you’re responsible for or equipped to do. It is also not something that would have been fixed or helped in any way had you even decided differently and gone out with her.
The best you can do is hope she gets the help she needs. Consider contacting local suicide-prevention organizations for further advice if you want.
You are not responsible for the actions of others.
Are y’all from the same couple-pair? lmao
I did wonder if this was someone shitposting.
It’s not your fault you’re straight, you don’t get to choose what you’re attracted to.
