📝 AITAH for thinking it’s dumb that my best friend could ever like me when he’s obviously closer to someone else?

So, I (16F) keep hearing these rumors that my best friend (16M) — let’s just call him "A" — might be into me.

And honestly? It’s so dumb I kinda wanna laugh.

Like, have people even looked around?

There’s this girl, "H" (16F). She’s, like, everything I’m not. She’s super pretty, popular, actually knows how to talk to people without sounding like a trainwreck.

And after her boyfriend passed away last year (car accident, it was horrible), "A" was there for her. Like, always.

I mean, duh?? Of course he'd fall for someone like her.

Not the loud weird kid who can't even keep it together on a normal day.

"H" is graceful. She’s soft. She doesn’t walk around like she’s two seconds away from breaking something — or herself.

Meanwhile, I’m just... hanging on.

People don't love the messy ones. They help them, sure. They feel sorry for them. But love? Nah.

"A" smiles at me because he's a good person. Because he probably thinks I'd shatter if he didn't.

But if he had a real choice, he'd pick someone like "H." Someone who's not a walking disaster.

And honestly, I don't even blame him.

People don't choose the ones already falling apart or used.

So... AITA for thinking everyone's just making stuff up to feel better about a sad story?
