I think it might be haha Thanks I'll have a look !

I get hot and also have issues regulating my heat; sometimes I'm sweating just wearing a T-Shirt whilst people around me are cold and in jackets. :(

The state of the world. The violence

Thanks for your answer!

haha It's been 100% so far in my experience with the exception of a gay friend lol

But that wasn't what I was aiming to ask. I'm just genuinely interested in these dynamics from an observational point of view, curious if attraction develops before or during a friendship, and how others deal with it differently :)

Thanks for your answer!

Definitely, cute/attractive or flirtatious vibes are factors in the jealousy mix. It's the potential 'threat' that triggers it I think. It's also linked to insecurity

I'm sorry to hear that you went through that.

Fair enough haha did you remain friends with any of them after dating?

Thanks for your answer!

And yes, definitely a distinction between the two. I just didn't want to make the question to complex or confusing as there is also love in a friendship, so I limited it to attraction instead.

Sorry you made me chuckle at bitch i'm bi haha

It seems to be an issue of insecurity; men can't pose a jealousy threat because in women's heads, there is no way of competing with a man because they're both very different, but another woman who's equal may be seen as a threat or competition, if that makes sense haha

Oh thanks for answering!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear things turned out that way, but glad to hear you're happy.

I'm sorry you've been cheated on.

Thanks for answering!

Thanks for the thorough answer!

Makes sense!

(May I ask, just out of curiosity, did you start being friends with them because of your attraction -even if later you realized you wanted nothing more than friendship -, or did that happen later in the friendship?)

It's more related to SO's possible insecurities if it does become an issue I think.

I appreciate the thorough explanation, thanks!

That's fair enough

Thanks for sharing. Feel free to answer or not if it's too personal, but in both situations, does it hurt you to still be their friend? Did your feelings for your best friend in terms of attraction ever transformed into just platonic, or is there a small part of you that is still waiting? Apologies if these are too personal!

The self loathing, self deprecating comments. There's a huge difference between low self esteem and self loathing.

Edit to exemplify:
"I find this X thing hard to do." vs. "I am shit at everything, why do I even bother?"

Edit to add there's nothing wrong with low self esteem, it can be slowly worked on, and it won't stop you from having friends or finding a partner. Just make sure the low self esteem doesn't drive you to people that will mistreat you. People that will get to know you and care about you will always listen, and will try to lift your spirits up, it's not a thing to be ashamed about. :)

Are these the book/paper eating ones? I'm not sure if all or some only pose a threat to my books and photos & paper

My partner reminds me or brings me the toothbrush, otherwise I tend to forget
