<human>: Hello all. I've been working the same job for 3 years now, and I've made one of the best friends I've ever had at this job. 

She's incredibly intelligent, incessantly goofy, supremely confident, but at the same time self conscious and shy. We talk about literally everything under the sun and she's the one person I feel like I can be unabashedly honest with, and she can be brutally honest with me.

The short of it is, I'm afraid I'm in love with her, and for reasons I won't delve into here, I know that nothing can ever come of it.

I don't want sympathy points or anything of the sort. My question is, how have my fellow Redditors dealt with such situations, where you had feelings for someone you knew there was no chance with, or circumstances would not allow a romantic relationship?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I've got a colossal love interest with my best friend, and I cannot pursue it. How do I deal with it?
