confess feelings to close friend

I confessed my feelings to my close friend, but he didn't feel the same way, and our friendship changed

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had been more prepared for the possibility of rejection"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with yourself and your friend, and consider the potential consequences of confessing feelings"
