I had a realization and I don't like it.

It's a long story and I pray no one close to me figures out I posted this here but here we go!

So i liked this boy (lets call him David its not his real name) that was on a sports team and there were factors that basically it would have been weird for us to date. Fast froward a few months and my friend starts dating my crushes teammate. My friend tries to set me up with her brothers bf(who is also on my crushes team). He does not like me at all (honestly I was relived because at this time I was using other guys to try to get over my feelings for David it makes me terrible I know)
Over the summer my friend gets a text from her Boyfriends brother and asks for my number. She gives it to him not realizing it was someone pretending to be him. I texted him and basically after the person catfishing me realized i was no longer into him like that gave up. I was really upset and I never found out who did it.

I later found out that David was going around saying that I wanted him(I never told david that i liked him) and some of his teammates had added me on snap but at this time I was still wrestling with my feelings for David so I unadded them because I didn't feel comfortable.

I don't know why but I think that David and his friends were the ones to catfish me. It makes me feel horrible because I want to remember the version of him that made feel happy and was sweet. I also have no way of reaching out to David. Its this sinking awful feeling I get every time I remember him.

This is a stupidly long post and its confusing I know you can ask questions I am not even sure if this right subreddit to post to but if you got this far thanks for reading!
