i dont want to hurt other people, i want to make the people around me happy. i am willing to sacrifice my own happiness for them. there is someone i like, someone i admire. though i know i might fall for him, i dont want to. i choose not to. a few months back i broke up with the only bf i had. i dont want to get involve in another relationship yet, and im guilty that im liking someone already. but that's not the point here. my friend likes the same guy. we both know that we both like him. though it seems to everyone else, aside from myself, that he likes me, i dont want to assume. i dont want to hurt my friend. i have decided to put aside this liking that i feel for the guy, for the sake of my friend, but i still get a little jealous. but i know i can take this. still, i want to know, is my idea of making other people happy wrong this time?

You should not have to sacrifice your happiness for the sake of other people's happiness like that. If he really does like you and you like him, what do you expect to do for your friend? I'm sure she'll move on and be happy for you. You have to have the best in mind for everyone, she'll meet other guys. The decision is ultimately up to you.

Hi! thanks for the response. maybe i can continue liking him secretly, i dont want to fall inlove yet again. i admire him, thats all i know for certain. as for my friend, she told me that if the guy likes me, she'll give way. that itself is more than enough. as of the moment, i dont want to get into another relationship yet. :)

No one is wrong. There's no need for you to give up because you don't want to hurt other people. It's fair, you two like the guy, then it's turn for him to choose. Never make yourself regret for that in your life.

very few people thinks to do such as sacrificing their love 4sake of her / his friend..... i think if that person whom u like... if he loves u then urs friend must understand that.... ask her, talk to her openly regarding this.... after all if u wont share urs thought, urs feeling with urs friend then whom can u expect to be next to u... right....?
