So I started a topic earlier in this forum but I didn’t get a response from anyone. I am in this predicament where I feel lonely and I do not know what to do. I am a 15 year old student who is afraid. Four years ago I moved to a new school and a new church. There I found an Egyptian girl who I fell in love with. She was part of the popular group in our school while I was in the nerd group. I was afraid to tell her and I held it. And I didn’t feel love that strong too. But last year I realized that I was all alone. No one to help me. No one to understand me. Even my own parents saw me as a burden. I felt useless. But I didn’t cry. But I felt a huge amount of sorrow that caused a literal pain in my chest. I still feel it now. And suddenly I remembered the girl I loved and how she always made me happy. And I realized that I started to love her more than I used to and I decided to let her know. But I thought I should propose in a unique way that would impress her. I made a website. In our school, making a website is a big deal cause no one knows how to script or code and no one would even bother to learn it either. I am a student professional piano player and I go to piano classes. I was working on the website at my piano class when I was called up for my turn on the piano. I couldn’t exit the website because it needed time to save the work so I left it open. But a friend of mine at the piano place saw the website and thought it was funny and he published it while I was not around and sent links to three schools. Then the news spread to my school and the girl learned about the website. I was not prepared for this but after being exposed I didn’t feel bad because the girl was supposed to know. Anyway reality hit me hard and I got rejected. It was my first love so I never got over it. But there was a friend of mine in a lower grade than me who I conversed with. She was a good friend and I hung out with her whenever she was not busy. Eventually, this year, I started to like her more than a friend. But she was a different religion. So I was afraid to love her and I held the love inside. But I was always hopeful that someday I would be happy with her. I started talking about her to couple friends of mine. And one of them told the girl something. I never learned what was told. Lets name her Priya. Anyway Priya avoided me for the entire day. Then I tried to talk to her the next day but no luck. However, she waved me bye when she was heading out for her vacation trip. I didn’t have any method of getting in touch with her so I had to wait until she returned. And when she returned, she started to act differently. Every time I tried to talk to her, she would call another friend to converse with. I felt sad at this. But the next day, Priya and her cousin were walking around school when they came to my class. I hailed them and Priya wouldn’t stop smiling and she was laughing and whispering to her cousin. This I found weird but I had this faint hope. She voluntarily gave me her number without me asking but she barely texts. I would hang out with her whenever she was alone and I joined her tennis group. Every time I come she would look at me once in a while during her matches and practices at the tennis place. A little girl assumed it was love and started to tease us about it and Priya was like, “Oh God”. All these signs are very confusing. I noticed that Priya and her friend always looked at me in a peculiar way whenever I was around. I claim that I do not love her and I am afraid to love her but deep inside I feel like I do. Can someone explain this?

A great start would be to find some new friends. Find people who are positive, support you, and do not publicly shame you. Join a club or try a new hobby. It can be hard to make new friends when you are surrounded by the same people all the time.
It is great that you are involved in website development and piano. Have you composing your own music as an emotional outlet? I use poetry as mine, but I have often found piano music to be one of the most moving and inspirational music genres to listen to when I write. You may benefit from creating and you listening to your own songs.
Moreover, I can tell you from personal experiences, people who give you mixed signals are a waste of your time and energy. Anyone who does not have the guts to communicate with you regularly will be difficult to maintain a friendship or relationship with in the long run. It is great that you are honest with the girls you have feelings for. Being upfront and communicating is always best. However, you should start with asking a girl out and getting to know her on dates for a long while before announcing your love for her. Girls can be fearful of both social ridicule and for their personal safety if someone professes an immense crush right off the bat even when the person professing means no harm.
Denying yourself of your feelings for someone will not make them go away. It is the same with any emotion. Love, sadness, regret, excitement, embarrassment, etc. You need to face your feelings before you can act on whether or not you want them or not. Accept your feelings first. Then decide if they help you towards your goals and values. Is the emotion worth any positive or negative consequences if you act upon it?

I made this thread quite a while ago and no one had answered so I had actually given up on this thread. Unfortunately, things have changed from the day I created this thread.
Firstly, I got rejected by the girl. It so happened that my friend had told her that I liked her and she was worried. But I never told her. Eventually, I couldn’t keep this up and I decided to tell her that I liked someone else and that I needed her advice. It was a scheme to figure out what she was going to say if I confessed my love for her. Turns out, her answer would have been a no if I confessed. So I didn’t tell her who I liked or that I liked her. But she asked me if the girl I liked was her and I had to lie so our friendship would not be awkward; I told her that it was not her. At this, she became very happy and I was heartbroken. (This was how I managed to confirm my theory that she would have rejected me if I asked her.) But she kept pestering me to tell her who it was. But I refused to tell her, for the sake of our friendship. Then she said that she hated me. I was depressed to hear this so I confessed to her yesterday. I also told her that I knew what her answer was. And I couldn’t help but sense an aura from her that she wanted me to leave. I was even more depressed than before, after seeing that she was not happy. Today, she told me she wanted to talk to me. She told me, “I am flattered that you like me, but I have never imagined you more than a friend.” I understood her and told her she didn’t need to tell me that since I already knew. But deep inside I was very heartbroken and it took nearly all my strength to stop my tears. (Don’t judge me; I know that it is stupid to cry just cause a girl rejected me but I’ve never been cared for by another person before, including my parents and my sister. However, I never stopped loving my family and helping people. And I only wanted someone to like me as I like them too.)
Anyway, she also told me to promise her that I wouldn’t be suicidal… It so happened that after my first rejection by the Egyptian girl, I built stuff to cope with the misery and loneliness and sadness I felt. And one of the things I built was a pressurized energy vessel. To put it in simpler terms: a bomb. It was a container that kept heated particles created from the massive pressure used to compress the particles in the form of energy. There was a miscalculation in the build-up of energy; it created too much energy and it blew up and the shrapnel pierced my arm. I had to go to school with a bandaged arm for a couple of months and there was a rumor that I tried to commit suicide due to my rejection, which I was not initially made aware of. So I was told to not be suicidal.
Now to answer your suggestions, I am a part of various clubs at my school and I am bad at making friends. I always hang out by myself alone and I don’t have anything to do other than study. And yes I have composed a couple of songs before on the piano but I never publicized them. I have only played it for my music teacher who recorded it on his music software but it was left incomplete. Due to the lack of software, I was left to make song remixes which I posted on Youtube. But now I do not have the time to work on songs now that I am in grade 10. I also listen to music when I study or I find free time. The music actually controls my emotions. If I listen to my favorite inspirational music, I would end up being very confident and energetic and do some of the stupidest but brave things such as creating the website for the Egyptian girl. Other times I would listen to my favorite sad music that makes me cry and reflects my mood of depression and loneliness.
I also feel that you are right about the fact that people who do not communicate with me regularly is a waste of time and energy. But its not like there are others who actually have the guts to communicate with me regularly either. Not only that, the girl I like, is not the type you can take on dates. What I mean is that she would instantly say that she doesn’t like me if I asked her out. Asking her out on a date will be similar to confessing my love to her. Besides she would have said that she didn’t want to go on a date with me. She is always busy with school work or hanging out with her own friends. She is also part of the school play so she spends most of her time practicing. Anyway, I understand the point you are trying to make.
Also, I realized that accepting my emotions have caused more problems than solutions. By accepting my love for the girl made our friendship awkward. But what is worse is that due to the emotion of love, I lost my only friend and now I am all alone and I am getting this weird feeling of negative energy which I’ve grown to like. But I am slowly dying due to this energy but I feel that it is better to be dead and peaceful than to be alive and suffering. And I know you think I am wrong. But I am devastated from the turn of events.
Lastly, I know that this website is not made for medical or psychiatric treatment but I’ve read stories and I’ve noticed that the suggestions made by others are very useful.
I apologize that my reply is so long.
And thanks again Melinda.
P.S. People actually tend to hate me more after telling them my story….
