Hello,

There’s this guy in my grade who I am crushing on. I tried to ignore it until I found out a friend (let’s call her R) has liked him for quite some time. And R’s friend (who is his ex) is encouraging them getting together… weird I know. But R hasn’t confessed to him yet and confided in me (I didn’t tell her I liked him because I don’t know him very well and she screenshots conversations and sends them ). He’s shown curiousity in getting to know me and wanting to include me and I recently I tried asking him questions about himself to get to know him yet she always has to dominate the conversation and  try and shift the attention back on her. With the way she’s acting I don’t think I value her friendship all that much and I am thinking about trying to get to know him better even if it’s just as a friend. But I feel this guilt like I should back off even though he’s not hers and she looks to be trying to flirt with him. I also feel helpless like it’s no use due to self-worth issues and the fact she works on ASB with him and has known him longer. What’s your take on it?

NEPETA: :// < Well, furst of all, that’s not a furry good furiend!

NEPETA: :33 < h33h33... i used fur thr33 times there.

NEPETA: :33 < Anyways! Just from knowing she scr33nshots things to send to people, she’s not furry nice or trustworthy!

NEPETA: :33 < There’s no reason at all that you should back off! She should respect you and his blooming furiendship. *AC flicks her tail back and forth angrily!*

NEPETA: :33 < I think mew should go forward and k33p trying to be his friend! It’s not fair to either of you that she does that, even if she’s in the student body with him!

NEPETA: :33 < Do what you want to, not what somebody who always has to have attention wants you to do!

NEPETA: :33 < *AC places a paw on anons shoulder* Purrsue him, even if it’s just as a friend. Don’t let a bad friend stop you from making what could be a great friend! 

NEPETA: :33 < Even Equihiss knows that you don’t stop people from making friends unless they’re really bad people.

i am so so incredibly proud of you, holy shit! that’s so much progress and that’s so so good. i’m actually in tears because I’m so happy to hear you’re doing so much better after all this time ;v; 

hey there!

this is so sweet to see (and, ironically, you sent this on my birthday! and while i may not have been one of the mods to help you, this is still a very nice thing to hear today haha)

i may have no clue who you are, but honestly i am so so proud of you and so so happy to hear of your progress!! ahh!!

congratulations on getting into college! school is so hard, i'm so proud of you for perusing academics in a way that hopefully works for you <3 i hope things are going well for you! i'm genuinely impressed with you for having made it so far-- i understand perfectly well how you can live your life thinking "ah, i'm not going to make it further than this" and it can leave you feeling so lost-- but you're going somewhere! you finished high school! you're learning more! wow!! again i'm so proud of you!

and i'm so so happy to know we were there for you. even if it was just to lend a listening ear. that's what we were made for, and it's so delightful knowing we really did help people in any little way. :")

truly this was so sweet of you to send in! i'm sure if any of the other mods were still around to see this they'd appreciate it too (so on the off chance they ever look back on this blog too-- hi! this is for you too! we did good!)

honestly i'm not on tumblr often anymore but i always find myself coming back to this blog, so if you ever need a listening ear, i'm still here for that much at least. while i do hope you have a proper support system now-- if you don't, hopeestuck is always open, regardless of how quiet the blog may get. (just, yknow, maybe not for a time sensitive response LOL)
