I want to start by introducing myself and saying that I don't think i'm an incel under the definition people here would probably use, and apologizing if that excludes me from the pool of people who are supposed to get advice here. I don't mean to take resources or time from people who need them more. I don't hate or resent women, I wouldn't call myself an incel. I think that foreveralone or that kind of mindset might be a better description. I have friends and a social life but I don't think it's realistic for another human being to ever really be attracted to me, let alone desire a relationship with me. Also, I think that any kind of incel-ish ideology I might have is more romantic than sexual. I'm demisexual, i've had feelings for maybe three people ever and even then i've never had a huge drive.
I've never been romantically desired or had a relationship, but two years ago I met and became friends with a girl who I got feelings for. I couldn't really get rid of them easily, but I knew she wasn't interested in me, and I didn't want to make her uncomfortable or hurt her or our friendship, so I would never confess or anything like that, they're just something that've been there passively for a while. Recently, she confessed that she's in love with my best friend. It's not surprising, he's a lot like me if I were attractive or deserving of love, lol. I think the worst part is that he doesn't even like her back, I don't even get to see her be happy and it feels as though he doesn't even know what he has.
I don't want to have feelings for her anymore, but I really don't want to hurt her. I've never told anyone that i'm in love with her, and I don't want to mess up my friend group or make her think that I don't like her as a friend - I love her that way, too, even if those romantic feelings do exist (and I feel like I should say that I do feel guilty for having those feelings, i'm not totally delusional and selfish lmao.)
