Yeah it really sucks when the person who calls you her best friend, who you arduously managed to bottlecap your feelings for, invites you and another dude over at the same time, and then asks you, “So would you ever build a shrine? [Like Helga Pataki in Hey Arnold [a shrine to me?]]”. In front of this other guy she’s trying to hook up with.

And then you have to come to the crushing realization that this person who you care so much about and endured so much emotional tribulation for isn’t really your friend at all—she’s just a person who sees you as a useful convenience. You’re not there because she cares about you, you’re there because she knows she can just say whatever she wants to you, no matter how ridiculous or hurtful, because she knows you’ll be there next week to tell her how awesome she is.

Straight rejection is so much better. But here’s a tip for the friendzoned: Respect yourself first. If you don’t respect yourself, it’s impossible to gauge how much respect another person does or doesn’t have for you.

Uh. I literally don’t know how you can deliver such a great Word, and then say that to my face like… 10 minutes later.
