I fell in love with my best friend.
I knew I had to tell him.
Things started getting kind of weird between us.

I had these feelings…
So I texted him.
Then I immediately turned my phone off and went into therapy.
He joked, My therapist was thrilled.
He was so excited!
He was like, Man, this s— never happens in real time.
Recounting Tylers eventual response, Carmichael said, He sent me a voice note.
I was so nervous.
It was like six seconds…
He said, Hahahaha, you stupid bitch.
And I dont really know what that means.
Part of me wants to play musical chairs on Grindr the day of, Carmichael tells the camera.
Thanks, tho, that is lit.
In the end, none of the Grindr dates made the cut either.
That was, like, weird.
I dont know if it was just too awkward to talk about or just too…
I feel like you left me hanging out there a little bit.
I did, Tyler says, bursting into laughter before growing serious.
And I think I just, like, brushed it off.
Getting news like that and then avoiding it is a way to avoid change.
Are you wanting the same thing from me?
When you told me that, Im like, ‘Nah, I dont know.
Thats like a brother.
That mans like family.
Like a true brother.’
