Today, my best friend who I have been secretly in love with forever, was ranting about her ex-girlfriend. Then she said : "If only you were gay, we'd be perfect for each other." I took the chance to tell her I was. She responded : "Well, I'm still not attracted to you though." FML
Today, my best friend confessed to me that she's a lesbian. She quickly added, "Oh, don't worry, I don't like you. You're not attractive." FML
Today, I found out that my best friend likes the same person as I do, but she doesn’t know that I'm in love with him, and she keeps sending me their flirty texts. FML
Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Today, I was at a party. The girl I'm madly in love with referred to me as her 'Gay Friend.' She refused to kiss me in Spin-the-Bottle as 'She didn't want to do anything with anyone that night'. She then made out, and slept with, my 'best friend' whom she had never met before. FML
Today, I was going to confess to my best friend that I am madly in love with her. I called her up only to find her crying. She was upset that she might be pregnant with some guy. FML
Today, a "friend" of mine told everyone that I had a crush on a girl I used to be really good friends with 2 years ago. I never liked her that way, and had said that only to hide the fact that I'm gay and don't feel safe with boys. Her current boyfriend is seriously annoyed with me. FML
Today, I hate that my best friend has a boyfriend, who doesn't even treat her right by the way. I could treat her way better, she's all I've ever dreamed of. Too bad she's straight. Too bad I'm straight. I might be in love with my best friend. FML
Today, my best friend became my ex-best friend. I have finally gotten over the guy she stole from me a year ago and have developed a crush on another guy. My best friend called me today to tell me that she broke up with the first guy and is now going out with my current crush. FML
Today, I found out that one of my best friends likes the girl that I like. What's funny is that my best friend is also a girl, and has a better chance with her than I do. 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.

Maybe she will cut the gay boy.

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!
