Just told one of my closest friends that I have feelings for her but she is in a 5+ year relationship. Oh, we're on the same project and work pretty close together.

Felt like I had to say something to start distancing myself since she rolls off in a few months. Don't know how to not be awkward moving forward

@ey1 She was expecting it since we've grown very close in the recent months. Feel vulnerable because everything we say/do is always going to be second guessed now. @a1 she doesn't have fb

Just be professional about it. If it's not mutual get back out there (tinder, bumble, happy hours, networking events, etc.)

I had a similar situation and putting my feelings on the table was so gratifying...

You wanted distancing @op, the awkward will play into that. Professional interaction doesn't need you two to be close. It doesn't feel great now, but it's for the best and it'll be fine with time.

@sc1 what was gratifying in your situation? I don't know what I hoped for out of this but what I'm feeling now is not what I expected. The transitioning of work has already begun so our professional interactions will go down significantly after the new year. I know time is the ultimate healer but we'll never have the same relationship now

@op saying exactly how I felt, after keeping it a 'secret' for so long.

Even to this day, I feel like I have crippling anxiety and imposter syndrome when speaking. It’s easier in project read outs and dedicated client meetings, but much worse when I’m going in cold or without a set agenda. Has anyone worked with / used a coach, tools, etc. to help with this? Recommendations?

I learnt digital Marketing and started Interning at this Media House in Mumbai.
I am in the Paid Media Team. They paid 7k as stipend. Now they gave me an offer letter as Media Executive, the role of client coordination and basically a beginner account Manager.
But they've offered a monthly salary of 12k. They said the max they can do is 15k.
The problem here is, I was under the impression that Media houses generally pay higher, but 15k is too less I believe.
I want to know your real thoughts
