it's been a while since we had an open anon forum for shit talking.

vent out your frustrations. tell us who you desire you can't possibly have. start ugly rumours.

if you go off anon, that's on you.

So anon

[pricklybloom]

I have feelings for someone, but I'm afraid to tell them because they aren't really the type who wants a romantic relationship.

[politicallyinclined]

Have they told you that directly?

[pricklybloom]

Well, not directly. But we've known each other for a while, and they've never shown any interest in romance before, with me or anyone else.

[politicallyinclined]

So their feelings might be confusing for them. I dated before I met my husband, but he is the only one I've ever loved. Sometimes you don't know the depth of your feelings until the right moment.

[pricklybloom]

So you think me admitting my feelings for them might make them rethink how they feel about me?

[phoenixwiz]

Hello anon. Has the person in question told you anything lately?

[pricklybloom]

Not really. They're the "all business" type usually.

[phoenixwiz]

Oh, so they must be a very busy person? I see, I have been so busy with my life and job that I honestly never had the time to find the time to find romance.

[pricklybloom]

I don't know if I'd say they're busy all the time. They're just a very serious person. Definitely not the type to go and hang out with friends, even during off time, let alone try to find a romantic partner.

[phoenixwiz]

No time for hanging out with friends or finding a romantic partner? Hm, it sounds like either they are probably not used to dealing with close relationships or having friends in the past.

Or they are keeping their emotions and other things to themselves and afraid to admit to anyone. I had some difficulty to admitting my romantic feelings to my ex before we started dating.

[pricklybloom]

It’s probably a bit of both, to be honest. They didn’t have a lot of friends before, and they had a tough life. So now they mostly keep to themselves.

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, that is highly possibly that this is their case. I can relate to what they’re going through as I didn’t have a lot of friends until I was 11 when I first met my best friends.

[pricklybloom]

Oh really? I'm sorry to hear that. It must've been pretty tough.

[phoenixwiz]

Yes, I had a rough childhood growing up: I was raised in a rough upbringing by my aunt and uncle, and they’re sadly not great guardians. They would call me a freak and treat me as if I don’t belong in the family, despite my mum and aunt being sisters.

[pricklybloom]

Oh no, that's awful! How could they do such a thing to anyone, let alone family?

[phoenixwiz]

Unfortunately, that is more complicated to put it in words than I was hoping. It must have been the resentment and jealously on my aunt’s part and she and her family tried to live a ‘more normal’ life while trying to dismissing anything related to magic.

I wish that she could have handle it much better than she did to cope for most of her life and when she was raising me and my cousin.

[pricklybloom]

Yeah really. Complicated or not, it's still wrong how she treated you.

[phoenixwiz]

You definitely have a point, anon. Family members shouldn’t treat each other terribly no matter what. Maybe we can talk about less gloomy topics just to lighten up the mood?

[pricklybloom]

I don't know how much I can help with that. I've still got this problem of having feelings for someone who probably won't reciprocate them.

Which I guess is technically less gloomy, but still not all that upbeat.

[phoenixwiz]

That’s understandable, anon.

I do hope that maybe one day, that person would eventually come around and reciprocate them at their own terms, even if that would take them a long time to sort them out.

[pricklybloom]

I'm not really counting on it, but thanks.

[phoenixwiz]

You’re welcome anytime, anon. If you need someone to talk again, I’ll be more than happy to do so.
