So I (19F) have this friend (18F) who confessed that she had a crush on me. I turned her down. I also like a guy right now and prefer guys and want a boyfriend and am either bi with a heavy male lean or straight.
Recently, I found out one of her family members found her trying to hang herself so she got down and managed to slip the belt off so she wouldn’t be questioned.
I am so confused. How is this not my fault for rejecting her? I won’t say I will date her given I like men, but she says it’s not my fault and she had a lot going on…


If your friend’s explanation is that she had a lot going on, it’s probably her overall mental health that’s the issue.
Being rejected romantically is sad, but a normal part of everyday life, and not enough to make an otherwise healthy person react in this way.
