Oh no, my miserable life that’s devoid of any connection and anyone altogether otherwise *at least contains a friend.

What the fuck man, is this a real concern average people have that I’m way too fucking alienated to understand

I think remaining friends while still holding out hope

I agree here specifically because the "holding out hope" part is, both for the friendship and for the person maintaining that hope instead of accepting the friendship, or moving on without the friendship if they can't, which is also preferable to "holding out hope."

Accept the friendship if you can, earnestly work toward accepting the friendship if you're not all the way there, or move on. Those are the best choices.
