Why do I have these feelings?
The story
So today I was totally happy and excited with my swimming class but then at the same lane I saw a couple and the just for a while I felt a little bit sad, lonely or tense. This happened first at november’22 while I was being part of a great job and there I met a couple and everytime that I saw them together I started feeling sad. It was weird and I think that everyone notices it and that was one of the main reasons that I lost the job, it was a good one. Then, last year, after two years without feeling like that I had the same feeling but with two coworkers, it all started at a party and I saw this woman dressed pretty well and she was dancing and interacting a lot with this other coworker, that I never liked or had feelings. But then I started feeling sad whenever they interact with each other. And now, today I felt a little bit like before but not that much so I don’t know why do I feel like that? Of course, I’m gonna talk about this with my therapist but tbh I feel a little bit awkward to have those feelings. I don’t like them and I don’t know why. Am I the only who has ever felt like that? I think that maybe deep down I’m a little bit insecure but then the rest is like new to me, like why do I feel this way? Or maybe because I feel lonely or kinda unlovable or maybe because sometimes I think that I would never meet someone, I don’t know

it sounds like you're really digging deep into how these situations make you feel and that's already a good step forward, figuring out why certain moments trigger sadness or insecurity can be tough to pin down sometimes. could it be possible that when you see others interacting in ways that seem intimate or special, it might amplify any feelings of loneliness or self-doubt? it's not unusual to have unexpected emotions crop up at different times, especially if they remind us of past experiences. trust me, you're definitely not alone in feeling this way and it's excellent that you're considering talking with your therapist about it. just remember, analyzing why we feel certain things is key to understanding ourselves better!
it's really normal to feel that way, seeing others coupled up can bring out all sorts of emotions. sounds like you're tuned into your feelings which is a great first step. maybe it's about wanting what they have, or even just feeling left out in the moment; you'll probably get better insight from talking to your therapist so that's good you're doing that. but for real, don't be too hard on yourself for having those feelings... they happen to lots of us and you're definitely not alone in this.
