<human>: Here's a little more background:
He/She is a very nice person and most of your friends like that person.  This person has been very encouraging to you and has possibly even inspired you to overcome challenges in your life.  A few times you have been thankful to have a non-judgmental receptive and someone around who's 'friendship' is unconditional.

But there's a catch: He/She is almost like a nicer version of Overly Attached Girlfriend. And sometimes the sensitivity of this person can also you make you barf!  You wonder how can someone cry that easily and you worry who will be taking care of whom here. And just to add one more bit of tangle, you wonder if this person might have a genetic disease that might kick in sometime in the next 15 - 30 years.

After a few months of *almost* wanting to be with this person, you have to decline.  Once every two weeks or so you get a message of "hi? :'(".

Now 5 or so years later, this person's career as an artist takes off.  You see his/her name EVERYWHERE and your friends even want to go to this artist's events - they've forgotten by now; horrible friends.

So, redditors, what would you do?
-even better-
What have you done in this situation -stories are good-?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Would you be so kind as to tell me your stories that are relevant to the title?  If not, then I would be delighted to just hear your response.
