And — I’ll depart with this. I can barely talk one-on-one. Even here, I regularly rewrite my posts several dozen times. How do I just…talk to people? Just let go, stop worrying about what they’ll think?

Hey, if nothing else, at least you know how you feel.
That's a start. And here's some simple advice: if they don't like you back? Not worth your time. Lots of people out there, if one doesn't like you you can find someone else.
Trust me, I know what this is like. Or... sort of, at least. I did? I dunno how to put it.
Yeah. I get the “I dunno” feeling about the advice I give as well.
What I’m wondering, though, is the following — again, I’m decently sure he likes me. Not 100%, but I do have a gut feeling. But I’m not worried about Step #1 — I’m just not good enough for him if he says yes, or…on a no, I’m not sure what I’d do. Not that I’d be broken up — I am very good at emotional endurance, but more that I’d lose a lot of friends and have to explain a lot to my parents.
I’m gonna start with my parents, I think. Thought about giving them a Christmas “gift” that just lets them know. I just need to feel like I have some support before I keep going with what I want.
Oh, when I said the 'I dunno' I more meant I'm currently in a kind of similar situation. I think I feel that way about someone, but I haven't experienced that emotion towards someone out of my family in YEARS. I'm trying to decide whether to talk to them about it, or feel out my emotions first - get them sorted, you know?
But yeah, do whatever feels right to you; It's your life.

Why not go ahead and take a chance? What’s the worst that could happen?

Well, um... mainly it's because I don't know for sure - like, what if I tell them, and it turns out I just appreciate how kind they are to me without loving them? That could have... unhappy consequences.

Then tell them how you feel. Maybe they don’t understand, but it’s better than suffering like that.

Errm... it's not quite suffering.
...any more than normal, at least.
It's more confusing, is all? Not knowing how you feel about people is... not relaxing.

I’m just a queer ahh autistic teen from the Midwest, but I found someone who loves me and who I love even though we both have problems. We both go through moments of self doubt, but we help each other. These are your lives, not mine, but I’d take the chance. It’s well worth it, at least for me
