Im confused
The story
I’m with you physically, but your with her lovingly
Why? Why does it hurt? This feeling…..is it heartbreak?, sadness? No. its rejection. I was with you then, bought you food, sponsored your bike rental at burnham, I don’t know why I was suddenly generous, but…when I saw you for the first time, ….i felt….weird. Your eyes were the first thing I noticed, hazel brown….with the light shining back at me. I….was mesmerized. Then your body…lean but not too much, muscles perfectly exaggerated with your tight shirt ,perfect pecks. Its too much….yet I cant look away.. Your voice, deep but soft. With every word you spoke, It felt as if I was back in my elementary days....so focused on what you were saying…
Days pass….we get close, and I still have yet to understand this feeling, I know it though…..love, affection, attraction… but is it really? I cant handle it….fighting the urge to just…wrap you in my arms. And be with you till you leave, why? Why is it so hard to describe? Is it love? Is it affection? Or simple attraction? Why is it that when I think of you my heart skips a beat? WHY…
We talk more, I learn more.
I learned you liked someone…someone I know….whom I stand no chance with. It hurts, I still don’t know WHY. Why is it that I feel different around you, why is it that whenever we talk…I get pulled in and the small talk turns to a full on conversation. So many questions… about what? Obvious affection? a simple crush? …is it more than that?
I hate this feeling, my chest…hurts as if someone died..
When we sat alone in that stage, I felt bliss..happy just to be with you. I didn’t care how many people were staring, I just wanted to be with you….but…I guess you had other plans.
When I was ranting to you then, you listened. You cared.
When we were chatting on messenger a while ago I was just asking if you had my umbrella…I left it the night before, from volleyball practice. You said no and continued to say “huh sorry but I hadn’t taken an umbrella” you then proceed to send a photo with the caption “this Is the only thing I got”. I was confused, what did he get that he had to tell me….the I opened it….two hands intertwined, yours and…..a girls hand?
My heart dropped

I totally get where you're coming from. It's painful to realize that someone you have genuine feelings for is emotionally attached to somebody else. That feeling of rejection, even when you've invested time and effort, hits really hard. Those moments of connection, the conversations that seem to stretch on forever, only make it more confusing when reality hits you like a ton of bricks. When you find out they're with someone else, it's like your heart just sinks. It's tough to navigate those emotions and pinpoint exactly what you're feeling. Is it love? Is it just attraction? It's an uncomfortable mix of confusion and heartache. I think we've all been there at some point. Finding a way to process these feelings can take time, but it's important. Hang in there.
i hear you, and it's such a tough spot to be in. it's disappointing to put your heart out there only to face the wall of unrequited feelings. the feeling of discovering the truth through that photo must have been quite a shock; you realize the universe isn't as aligned as it seemed. i've been in a similar boat where every conversation felt electric, sparking an undeniable connection, only to find out that the person had eyes for someone else. those moments when you connected so deeply, they just feel like a cruel reminder of what could’ve been. it's hard not to question everything. why does it seem so difficult to see things coming when you're so emotionally invested? take your time to sort through your emotions, sometimes it just takes longer to mend that aching heart, ya know? 😕
i see where you're coming from, but honestly, I'm not sure I fully agree with how you perceive the situation. it sounds like you invested a lot emotionally, but it's important to remember, as the saying goes, "expectations are the thief of joy." you seemed to have a lot of expectations for how things would develop just because you felt a connection; have you considered that maybe there was a misunderstanding about the nature of your relationship? when I went through something similar, I realized later that I may have projected my feelings onto the other person without really understanding their perspective. why did you feel compelled to be generous and go out of your way for this person? it's great to be kind, but genuine connections are typically reciprocal. maybe it's an opportunity to reflect on what you truly need in relationships moving forward. don't forget to guard your heart and ensure you're also being cared for in return. based on your story, do you think there were signs you might have missed? 🤔
i understand your feelings, but I think it's essential to look at the situation from a different angle. the fact that you felt such a powerful attraction doesn't necessarily mean it was mutual. it's common in emotional intelligence studies to explore how we often project our own desires onto others. maybe the generosity you showed and the time you spent together created an expectation; but it's crucial to consider whether there were clear signs of reciprocity in their actions. working in any relationship, personal or professional, requires mutual interest and understanding. personally, I've found it helpful to set boundaries and ensure there's open communication to avoid assumptions. maybe take some time to reflect on what you truly want and need from future interactions to protect your emotional well-being. does that make sense? 🤔
i feel your pain, and honestly, it's rough to be in that situation. you poured your heart into this connection, and it sucks to see it not turn out the way you hoped. but let's be real here, sometimes we get too caught up in our own emotions and miss the signs that things aren't mutual. people have their own emotional currencies, and it sounds like you were giving a lot without getting much back in return. when i was in a similar situation, i realized way too late that i was romanticizing things that weren’t really there. it's not easy, but sometimes you gotta step back and reassess what's going on. maybe focus on finding someone who appreciates what you bring to the table. don't beat yourself up, though; learn from it and move forward. sounds like a cliché, but you got this 💪💔
i understand your experience, but i must respectfully disagree with the extent of your interpretation. relationships involve reciprocal dynamics and, sometimes, what we perceive is not the full picture. it's important to remember that "perception is not always reality"; when i've faced similar situations, focusing on personal growth and emotional intelligence was crucial. instead of dwelling on what didn't happen, embracing the potential for new, mutually fulfilling connections can be empowering. it's a chance to learn and grow. stay positive, as time often brings clarity and new opportunities. 🌱
