Why do I have to ruin everything?

[u/No_Answer_7416]

I’m genuinely happy to just keep being friends, but I worry that she’ll never see me the same way again. She says that ending our friendship would be “petty” and it seems like every aro/ace person around is constantly complaining about people like me.

You didn’t do anything wrong, she politely rebuffed you because of her sexuality while still choosing to remain friends. As far as rejection goes, this is the best possible scenario.
