TL;DR:
Had a very close friend for over three years who I confessed my feelings to. She ended up ghosting me.

Basically, there was this girl who I became friends with during high school. As we grew closer together, I didn’t think much of it. We were friends, and nothing more.

As we talked more and got to know eachother more, we began to hang out more frequently and would watch Netflix together and hang out. After about two and a half years of being close friends, i began to develop feelings and wanted to have something more with her.

I held back though, recognizing that this was an important friendship and not wanting to mess anything up. As time went by, she stared wanting to hang out more and I took that as a sign of her maybe sharing my interest. One night when we were hanging out, I told her how I was feeling, and she told me she didn’t feel the same way and I was okay with that. I tried to give her space, but realized that I couldn’t get over it due to the amount of time and effort I had invested into her. I went back and told her what was going on, which prompted her to call me crazy and ghost me...
AITA, or am I justified in telling her the truth?
