Well the only thing I can say is if he doesn’t want a relationship then you can stay friends with him . However , you should talk to him and sort this out. Also, focus on yourself and your own happiness , do things you want to do :)

Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I can understand this, being an introvert and having a heart full of feelings that wants to expressed is difficult to deal with. But this thing will keep haunting you if you don’t express, you can tell him that you have something to confess and you know that he doesnt want a relationship and you don’t want to break the friendship, express what you feel and tell him no matter what you said and how he feels about it, you guys should remain friends. Because uou don’t want to lose him as a person in your life. If the feelings are mutual then you guys can further decide how to go about it.
