I have the same problem. It's a coworker at my place of work that keeps me grounded. I can go to him for practically anything - he always knows what to say and calms me down. He gets me to talk when I find myself unable to talk. But this is all through texts... I literally cannot speak sometimes, and he is able to get stuff out of me by texting. If I'm at work and say nothing, as soon as he leaves I get a text - what's up... etc... Come on out with it...... etc. I don't exactly know what to do or how to handle it. Since I met him and worked with him closely overnights, I have feelings for him.... I just recently got up the courage to ask him out, and before I could - he said that he has to go see his girlfriend that he hasn't seen in a while. It took me eight days to get over that, and I am still awkward around him now, and I feel as if I can't trust him... But I want to, he's like one of the only people at work that I can trust. I feel stuck.... I hate that feeling!
