I (18f) liked this one boy who was 3 years younger than me and he liked me back. I was 16 and he was 13. Before you say or think of me, he was very mature for a guy his age. He has been through a lot of family issues, and I guess he was taught to be more mature at a young age. I felt bad when he opened up to me about what he’s been through, and that made me love him even more. We both liked each other and told each other through text. When my family found out, my crush and I stopped talking to each other.
Fast forward to now, my brother looks at me like I’m some pedo, but I never had any sexual desires with my crush. I wanted to love him and hold him. I wanted him to hug me, kiss my cheek, wipe my tears, cuddle. I never thought once of doing those things to him. I feel really guilty about this, and I don’t know if maybe it is my fault. If I never liked him, my brother would at least be a bit nicer.
What I’m asking is, was liking my crush wrong? And does that make me…bad? Because thinking about it now I don’t know if I should feel wronged or embarrassed. Please tell me what you think respectfully. Thanks
