I sort of know what you mean. I went through a period of years when every single friend I made eventually confessed that they had feelings for me and wanted to have a relationship. Since I was shy and introverted, I didn't have many friends at all and each time this happened, things changed. The friendship was gone. It sometimes lingered for a while afterward, but eventually it always trailed off and died, or was so drastically reduced that I'd go from talking to people every day to maybe every once and a while exchanging words on Facebook or IM.

It hurt, so much. It was never my choice and it always felt like I had to step carefully around their feelings because I didn't return them and didn't want to hurt them and that it was somehow my fault because I didn't.

It's not the same as sexual assault, but in terms of being devastating and hurtful, yes. I can relate.

Because it's not hard enough to work up the courage to confess to someone. :(

Of course it's hard. It's terrifying. But speaking as someone who has been on the opposite end of that multiple times, it's also terrifying to be confronted with those feelings when it's unrequited but still coming from someone you love and don't want to hurt.

Because they do get hurt, every time. And it hurts to hurt them, but what can you do? You can't choose who you're attracted to or who you'd be interested in having a relationship with.

I can only speak for myself, but if I'd had the choice between those who had confessed confessing or keeping their silence, I'd have preferred the silence each and every time. I could have kept them as friends then. I miss my friends.
