It amazes me how presumptuous people can be online. No one I've ever met would accuse me of being from another world. Here's a news flash for you: Earth is FUCKED UP. People are secretive, hungry, envious, and downright psychotic most of the time. Or at least such has been my experience growing up in California. As such, human decency is indeed a rare sight to me.

As to the not telling your crushes, I should have been more specific as to what I had in mind. Anyone who has not yet left high school would be wise to keep their crushes to themselves if mostly because young people don't know what they actually want in a relationship.

If you like someone you hardly know then, yes, I agree they have no obligation to tell you why they don't return your feelings. But if it's someone you're friends with, someone you've grown up with, then I do believe they are obligated. Friendships are supposed to be honest. One may not want to tell the other why for fear of damaging the friendship, however, by not telling, they are showing they have no faith in the friendship in the first place and are just asking for the inevitable strain that follows, in some cases resulting in its premature ending. I unfortunately ended a friendship this way.
