From first grade to third grade I had this crush on a boy who I have known for a long time. It wasn’t really a crush it was just me trying to fit in. I finally figured out that I’m demisexual. I was really mean to him and I never really said sorry. Now we’re in eighth grade and I have half of my classes with him. I am too scared to talk to him but I really want to say sorry and that I still wanna be his friend. I don’t know what to do please help I think he hates me.

I think you already know what to do bud. There's no trick and certainly a shortcut is not fair.
You know, when a person apologises for what they did, the focus in not on 'this person wronged me'. It's way more on, 'they realised their mistake and apologised to me'. It actually depends on the person but they deserve that apology and I can see you know that. It's nice how you wanna solve this. It's gonna require a bit of courage to go through with it, but everyone's got it in them to do it. Even though, forgiveness is usually given by others to us, it is also the process of forgiving ourselves. It's an act of freeing us from the regret of not apologising when we could. He could change schools all of a sudden or just disappear the next day. So don't be so hard on yourself and just do it. I can confirm that apologising for what we did is the most peaceful shit ever after we have done it. I was in the same boat as you until I did what I had to do. And I know you can do it too. So go for it.
ReplyMy problem is that I know it will be awkward.
ReplyAnd? What's wrong with that? That's how it is. It can't be easy for us. If it was, most people would apologise and be done with it. It's entirely your choice how you want it to be in your case, though.
