The girl can't cope with having
friends who have feelings for her. Sharing a
living space with people who have feelings for her would be even worse. And I'm- gonna go ahead and call bullshit on everyone in that thread who said non-heteros "know better" than to develop feelings for straight folk.
Yes, she's got an unfortunate mindset, and she even stated that she wished she were more open-minded, but "I know I'm wrong" doesn't mean "I'm gonna do something I'm not comfortable with, don't have to do, and could easily resulting in angering/offending the people I live with" is even close to a good idea. It's not. Not at all.
She needs more exposure to queer folk, yeah, but in her home against her will isn't the way to do it.
Honestly I still think being so melodramatic as to literally stop being friends with a person as soon as they say they could be attracted to you is shitty anyways, but I admit I'm biased given that i told my best friend in middle school that I had a crush on her and she was like "meh, not gonna happen but let's be friends anyways", and my now-fiance was my best friend for three years while knowing that I had a crush on him, and before admitting that he reciprocated my feelings. High expectations maybe? Then again, I think people can still have healthy friendships even in spite of one developing romantic attraction to the other, if they're both mature enough for it. Which she clearly really isn't.
No, my problem was her repeat confirmation that she had some idea in her head that all non-het women would be crushing on her and that "being friends with 'one' would be weird". Like, homegirl thinks the very IDEA of being anywhere NEAR a non-het person is uncomfortable, and won't admit that its homophobic. I mean, if shed even just own up to it and maybe say she'll try to work on it, I'd be like "hey good job, first step toward fixing a problem is admitting you have one!" And leave her alone. But she won't even do that, she just keeps going 'I'm not a homophobe, I don't hate/fear gays
wink ' and ignoring eeveryone's answers to a question she deliberately asked people's opinions on. So here I am, fighting passive aggression with passive aggression.
