If they're a good friend it shouldnt make things awkward. As long as you arent asking them out and just saying "hey just wanted to let you know that I like you" it shouldnt be a bjg deal

But i really do think you need to get this out of your system

Also im kinda curious too, you said you'd hurt them again its not like one of your toxic exes or nothing is it??

Okay good i was scared it'd be like doxto or something

Ohh
