I always confess tho and like they thought it was a joke, they thought i was just messing around, i say "i like you" then when things gets quiet i say "just joking", Welp I decided to just watch at the back because of how coward I am, and the next day I found out that they transferred schools.
I've never confessed so nothing so far. However I get rejected without confessing bc I always make it painfully obvious when I like someone. So they usually be like "it's nice to have you as a FRIEND" ╥﹏╥ reply
