My friend told me to mark a dot on my hand every time I thought about my crush to see how often I think about her. It went all the way up to above my wrist.

Every time I say something that I slightly regret (like 1/100 regrets), or she doesn't respond to my text, I freak out and think in every way how she no longer likes me. She's also my best friend; we really don't know anyone else outside of our 2-person friend group, aside from a couple third wheels. I already confessed to her, and she claims to not be interested in me, or anyone else because she's "asexual." But then why does she keep inviting me to her house? And only me at that?

Aside from that, how the fuck to I get myself to stop thinking about her? Every little action I make around her is so complicated in my head. Somehow, she never noticed how internally awkward I am, and how much planning I put before saying hi to her everyday, even though I already straight up told her that I do all of this. I'd figure she would find this obnoxious by now, but she says that "I was never obnoxious or awkward in the first place." I'm her "only friend that she doesn't feel awkward around."

Help me /adv/. I'm sick and tired of having these thoughts. I know this word is overused, but I mean it by its full definition when I say, she's "LITERALLY" all I think about at this point.
