No, it's generally about it feeling shitty. There's nothing wrong with complaining about the friendzone as long as you don't blame the person who put you there.
I friendzoned someone for a few years and then he went to university and I realised he was the greatest person I'd ever met and now we are engaged.. We're both glad we didn't go out with each sooner though because it gave us both time to grow and mature before coming back to each other.
I always thought it meant they were tired of watching their crush be hurt over and over again by douchebags. As someone who has been "friendzoned" countless times I sometimes got frustrated watching girls date a known cheater or a known abuser and I felt somehow inferior to these dudes.
But
When a girl I liked found a good man who is good to her I am truly happy for her.
98% of the time, the "douchebags" are regular, normal guys and the relationships fail for normal, relationship-failure reasons. The girl then complains to somebody who she thinks is a friend, because after breakups girls confide in their friends. Except the friendzoned guy is not a friend, he's a weirdo who considers the girl's boyfriends douchebags to justify to himself why he's hanging around like a creeper...if he actually gave a shit about her feelings, he'd let her pick and choose her own partners without judgement and would move on because he is obviously NOT what she's looking for to be happy.
Sure, but she felt we wouldn't work out, I accepted it and did my best to move on. I didn't hold it against her, sure I was disappointed but if doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Not much I can do about it. There are no bad feeling between us and I am happy she is happily married with a great family.
There were a few other girls I knew over the years too but they too weren't interested. I understand, nobody wants to wake up next to the fat guy so I held no ill will towards anyone. I know my place and will not be a creep or whatever else most people here will think of me. But I will say that at this point in my life I will NOT tell anyone about a crush ever again and I do my best to keep a distance from most people.
All I can say is it's good you told her how you felt about her and let your feelings be known. She gave you an answer and you have to accept it and move on. It's happened to me too and as for me I learned a lot and actually felt more confident about myself . I also remain friends with the girl and we have fun hanging out. Sorry the same could not be said about you in your case.
