That's how i'd act if i had a crush on someone...
Also, you said we can vent so HERE IT GOES
There's this guy, i thought i liked him a little bit, like, three years ago (back when i thought i was pansexual and also was kinda boy crazy) but soon realized i only liked him as a friend. for a while i suspected he liked me, but that was fine. So anyway, one day something embarrassing happened that is to complicated to explain, but basically he practically said he liked me, i practically said i just liked him as a friend, he got offended (offended!). But all in a super complicated really embarrassing way. So after that thing happened, we mostly just ignored it. But ever since then he just hasn't been a nice friend anymore. He gets mad if i, say, compliment someone else in out friend group and not him, and is rude when he asks for things, and other stuff like that. And he'll bring up The Incident occasionally and be mad at me for stuff about it, like "you didn't respond fast enough" and "i can't believe you said you would block me" (it happened over text, and the blocking part was after his brother stole his phone sent some *inappropriate* stuff) and is just generally rude. I can't just cut him out, cause we're in the same friend group and that would be awkward, and he's sometimes nice, but i'm getting sick of him and idk what to do.
Thank you for listening to my venting.
