What is the best way to proceed if you have feelings for a friend and they don't reciprocate?

I have strong feelings for my good (and only) friend. Things have gotten awkward between us and we don't talk like we used to because of it. She's also in a relationship and I can barely be around her any more because I get extremely depressed and anxious when I'm around them. Not that I'm not depressed and other times too, it's just worse then.

I considered cutting off all contact, but am hesitant to do that for several reasons. I'm trying not to let the sunk cost fallacy influence my decision, but at the same time I don't have anybody else to talk to at all and I know that she values me as a friend, so I don't want to hurt her by just cutting her off.

What do?

Make more friends. Your current situation is not healthy and it won't last unless you start hanghing out with more people. No need to cut contact, but for God's sake, expand your social circle.

dead end OP. Only way is to move on and cut contact.

Lets be real here. She thinks of you as a friend but she isn't your friend but an impossible dream.

No one's ever been able to explain to me how to do that. I have no idea where you go or what you do to make friends.

Just be there and interact. In class, at work, at the gym, on the comic book store, etc.

There's not a single method and there's not a single place. Just talk to the people around you.

You're not going to change anything if you don't increase your sexual market value.

Having all of the friends in the world won't mean much if all of them see you as just a friend.

You need to eat meat, you need to lift, and you need to refine your personality into something more outgoing and dominant. After that, it's just a matter of telling the truth about what you're looking for instead of acting like you just want to BE a regular friend to other people.

Friends are not make this girl like him. That's already a lost cause.

Friends will make him be happier and less anxious around girls in the future.

I tried to do that for a long time. Over a few years of frequenting book stores and working I met a few people and almost immediately lost contact with them. Something just didn't click.

Absolutely disgusting piece of filth tier

Then you keep trying. Not everyone will be your friend. And start thinking about why they might reject you. Are you coming on two strong? Maybe focusong too much on them and not adding to thw conversation? Think and find any problem you might have.
