Read if u have time to waste. can't think of a title.

So I had a childhood frnd. He was more like a classmate in the beginning bt we became frnds as we shared the same school nd tuition batch.

Then we finished schl, went on different clg bt kept in touch.

We started talking regularly agn aftr we both broke up wth our respective partners. it was not like dating but more like best friends (atleast from my part, as I didn't wanna date anymore aftr my brkup, felt like a waste of time)

We had a similar mindset, similar music taste, we loved the same movies nd anime. we both supported each other while the other was going through hard time.

I somehow became so invested in this, that I unconsciously started ignoring my other friends, I shared my personal thoughts nd family things with him. he became the most trusted person in my life.

then he confessed that he had a crush on me since childhood. it was logically not believable bt he somehow made it believable.

but I was clear from the start tht I don't wanna date so we can cut contact if he wants to. So we did fr a few months bt then we met at a common frnds wedding nd begged me to keep in touch.

mind you I was clear from the very beginning abt my intentions. I didn't see him romantically tbh and I was clear about that.

So we kept in touch. then he started showing up to places I would go wth other friends, tried to be good frnds again nd told me to forget about the confession nd all.

I believed his words tbh, bt I didn't realise he was isolating me frm other ppl nd keeping track of the information I unconsciously gave him.

One day I got to knw tht he was leaking infos (tht I told him as I trusted him) to other female frnds to get access in their life, and made me the villain in the process nd isolated me from others. We had a fight nd he called me bad names, also kinda blackmailed me wth the personal infos tht I gave him.

So I blocked him. He still came back a few days later nd begged me the same way tht he did in the past (he has an unfortunate personal life nd lost many loved ones, so I was sympathetic for him)

This time I just stopped all contacts wth him.

tbh this is not the full story bt sonehow this is the summary.

Now every time I listen to a good song or watch a good movie, I miss him. I knw he was manipulative nd he was probably mirroring me to get access in my life.

Long story short, I have bad fortune for people.
