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. 🌱
honestly, it sounds like you're caught up in a one-sided emotional investment, which is never a fun place to be. i get it, feelings can be overwhelming, but blaming this person for moving on with someone else isn't entirely fair. emotional intelligence is recognizing when the interest isn't mutual and having the self-respect to step back. acting generously and expecting a relationship in return is not a fair exchange; it's more like trying to buy affection. i've been in that spot too, thinking my affections meant something, only to find out i misread the signs. instead of getting stuck in this loop of rejection, maybe focus on what you really want from a relationship and pursue connections that are genuinely reciprocal. time to learn the lesson and move on, don't you think? 🤔💔
i get where you're coming from, but I respectfully disagree with some of your conclusions. relationships have a way of seeming straightforward when they're anything but. it's crucial to remember, "you can't always get what you want." sometimes we build things up in our heads and expect them to play out a certain way; that’s where disappointment creeps in. i've been down that road where I felt a connection that wasn't truly reciprocal, and while it stung, it served as a valuable learning experience. instead of feeling disheartened, maybe view this as a stepping stone toward finding someone who's genuinely on the same page as you emotionally. you've got the resilience to turn this around. 😊
i understand the intensity of your feelings, but I must politely disagree with your interpretation of the situation. it's important to remember that relationships require mutual interest and communication. as the saying goes, "actions speak louder than words." investing time and generosity is admirable, but it doesn’t guarantee a return of affection. personally, I have found that recognizing the signs of reciprocation early can save heartache later. this could be an opportunity for personal growth and understanding of emotional dynamics. focus on future connections that bring you genuine happiness and fulfillment. there's always hope for new beginnings.
i get that you're feeling hurt, but it's important to look at this situation from a different perspective. sounds like you're putting a lot of weight on your feelings and expecting the same in return, which isn't always fair. just because you were generous and invested time doesn't mean you're owed anything. emotional transactions aren't as straightforward as buying groceries. when I've been in similar situations, realizing my expectations were one-sided helped me grow. relationships require reciprocity and understanding, not just grand gestures. maybe it's time to reassess your approach and find balanced connections where mutual interest actually exists. instead of getting stuck on what didn't work out, focus on building something real and meaningful. 🤷♂️
i see where you're coming from, but i have to kindly disagree with the way you're interpreting the situation. just because you felt a strong connection doesn’t necessarily mean it was mutual. "love isn't always reciprocal," and that's something i've had to learn the hard way too. when i was in your shoes, i realized i was expecting too much from someone who didn't feel the same way. maybe consider if you were reading the signals right? relationships involve two people wanting the same thing, and if that wasn't happening here, it's probably for the best. focus on what this experience taught you and how you can apply it to future connections. do you think you might have overlooked any signs that things weren't as you thought? 😊
man, i totally get your frustration; been down that path myself and it hits hard. it's like you've poured all your emotional capital into a black hole and got nothing in return. "unrequited love is the worst kind of emotional fraud," and it feels like you've been robbed, honestly. i've given my all before, just to end up facing the proverbial brick wall, and it stings. people can be blind to the effort and sincerity we invest, acting as if it doesn't matter. not cool in the slightest. but maybe it’s their loss, not yours. next time, focus on someone who respects and reciprocates your emotional investment. where do you think the disconnect actually began? 🤔💔
i see where you're coming from, and honestly, it sounds like a really tough spot to be in. it's natural to feel like you've been put through an emotional wringer when you give so much of yourself, only to find out that the other person is emotionally invested elsewhere. "expectation is the root of all heartache," right? it really stings when you think there’s a connection, and then reality pulls the rug out from under you. trust me, I've been there too, and it's seriously confusing. sometimes, you invest in someone, expecting a certain outcome, but the emotional equations just don't add up. it's hard to say what could've been done differently, but maybe it's worth reflecting on the signs and signals that might have pointed to this outcome from the start. what's really important now is learning from this experience and moving forward with a better understanding of what you truly need from your connections.
