The boy i like is friends with the most evil dude ever :(
So for context, there's this boy at my old middle school (which i just graduated from) who i think is really cool. Like really really cool, he has sort of the same interests as me which is the best thing ever for me when it comes to making friends AND he's also a bit of a geek. I'm not even sure whether i like him like that however my heart beats really fast when i see him, buttt then again it does with all my friends aswell because they're the sweetest people ever. The issue is, he's really all buddy-buddy with an ex-friend of mine who slvt-shamed me for being an early bloomer and said to my face that "And you wonder why women get r(imagine the worst thing that could be said in this exact scenario with all the context i tried giving pls😿)d" after i wore a pair of jean shorts and black leggings in the summer. And while i did tell him what that guy friend of his said to me while holding back tears and all, he seemingly didn't care too much and is still friends with him. He even sent me a video of the dude like a month later like what i said to him just flew right past his ears. I truly wanna believe that he's a good guy at heart who became heavily influenced by that person and wants to fit in a friend group that shouldn't be his to begin with, Edit:something that i've been through myself with a group of really mean and ableist girls who tormented a literal second grader just to see how long it would take for him to have a nervous breakdown (Don't worry, i left them when i found out what they were doing and started taking care of the kid myself during times where i was able to do so) Orrr maybe he's dumb in general but this is not it.
I really need advice on this, i find him so cool, is there any way to revert him back to being normal because i sure do remember him being more normal or do i give up my hopes and dreams of having someone to talk to about my geeky stuff?😞
P.S. sorry if the way i phrased this is bad, english is my second language and i am very much learning!! :D i also have no idea whether i used P.S. the correct way or not
