    Idk what it is, but everytime i see her like part of me feels so weak, but when she talks about her girl I feel so jealous, she's my best friend and she thinks I'm straight and she's super gay, how do you get over someone you talk to and see everyday:/ I've always thought I was straight but I have these strong feelings for her the type that make me reconsider being straight. Why do I feel this way:frowning2: do I just really enjoy her friendship since I've never had a lesbian friend or what's wrong With me:,(.

    It seems like you have a crush on her.

    Unwanted emotions are always tough to handle. There's a few things I do when I have them

    1) I practice mindfulness. I try to be aware of what thoughts and feelings I have, and to acknowledge that I have them. Sometimes just admiting that I feel a certain way can help my mind to move on from that thought or feeling

    2) I don't try to force myself not to think or feel a certain way. Thoughts and feelings aren't really under our control. They arise in our minds and all we can really do is react to them. So I try to react to my thoughts and feelings in appropriate ways. Sometimes that means I just notice them and redirect my attention elsewhere, sometimes that means I talk to a friend about them, and sometimes it means I write about them.

    3) On that note, I journal. I write about what's going on in my mind; putting my thoughts on paper sometimes means I don't have to handle them in my head

    Hope that helps!
