Relationship Toubles

Miku expo made me realise I was putting my bf before myself in our relationship. They're genuinely a good person but never really took the time to understand me. My best friend, sister, mother and random people on the Internet keep telling me to crash out of that relationship but idk. Cause, I've had worse exes (The liquid shit guy) but this guy is genuinely making me sad and just leaving me on read when I try to talk things out and try to covey how I'm feeling. I'm always there for them but they're never there for me. God being gay is difficult

ok so i have this guy friend and we've been friends for quite a long time and i tell you i normally despise the attitude of boys (yk what kind) but he's so babygirl and pretty the sweetest but he has so much trauma from past gfs he's not ready to like anyone anymore and i just recently realized my feelings (￣∇￣").. i'm not into dating rn cause i have a lot of things pent up and idk what to do should i wait till we're both in the proper mentality? should i confess my feelings? whatif he doesn't like me and things become awkward? should i just forget about it?
(help guys he's really worth it but idk)
(oh ps. we've flirted in the past but always cut it off in a non-awkward way)
