By friend loves a gay guy... - 23/09/2013 20:49 - United States - Cincinnati

Today, my best friend told me that she no longer wants to cut herself because now she's madly in love with a guy in our school. She doesn't know that he's gay. FML

Better to break the news to her now over Ben and Jerry's and romantic comedies rather than have her figure it out alone.That's what best friends are for; there for the good, bad and ugly.

That's a terrible thing to say! Do you even know what emotional trauma people go through which leads them to cut? I am personally very happy that she's stopped, and I am sure her friend will be able to help her in this situation.

Because having to chose between lying to your best friend or watching her hurt herself or watching her heart get broken is a crap situation. Do you want to have to be in Op's situation?

I knew the comments on this FML would drive me crazy. It's either people making fun of self harm or people commenting how she might turn him straight. Regardless of the stupidity that's running amok here, I hope you get your friend some help. Stopping for a guy, especially one who doesn't even bat for her team, is not a long term solution.

Agreed. This is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. But maybe, even though her love is unrequited, it will make her realize that there is more to life than whatever is making her so miserable that she cuts herself. Perhaps the hope of sharing that love she feels with someone else will help her to change her outlook on life.

Tell her right now and start talking to her about her childhood with her. She seems extremely overly emotional.

She could possibly change him over. Or at least get him to split 50/50.

She obviously doesn't know him very well if he is openly gay, which I assune he is because you know, and she's supposedly madly in love with him. I do have to wonder how much it would actually take to stop her cutting, If a crush can. Probably just something happy in her life will help, and it looks like she is ready to cling to anything, it might not nesscarily need to be this boy. My point is it shouldn't be too hard to divert her attention to a cat maybe, a few fun outings with great friends, or another guy who will treat her nicely

If she happens to fall in love with a guy she doesn't know well enough to know that he is gay, it means that she is more of an impulsive kind of girl. Tell her about him the soonest possible, to avoid her having useless hopes, and try to show other nice guys you know. If love is what is making her cut herself, then let her know she will find it one day, and cutting herself won't make it happen faster. And don't forget to do it in real life, in front of her. I know a bunch of people that would do it via facebook chat, which would make it worse because she would then have direct access to cutting and nothing to block her.

As a former 'self-harmer' I'd say this girl needs to learn how to love herself before she can love someone else. She's extremely immature and doesn't know how to deal with her problems properly - I know how that is. She needs professional help and/or medication, not boy troubles to add to the ones she already has!
