It is kinda ruining my life lmao. I have never felt this strongly for anyone. When we talk, I can ride that high for days. But then she gives me (what I perceive as) the cold shoulder and the depression I feel... boy. It's been like this for months. I cannot go on, man.
Ugh I feel this man.
I confessed to them right as they were starting a burgeoning relationship with someone else.
"If I had known sooner maybe I'd feel different"
Which maybe they just were trying to be nice but goddamn did that feel like a stab in the gut. Especially since it acknowledged the fact that we had/have really good chemistry.
Anyway, I've gotten over it now (mostly) and we still talk and hang out. Pursueing other romantic interests so your thoughts don't dwell on them can good for you I think.
I struggled for about a 2 weeks after really bad.
Thanks. I don’t know if I can. No one else I talk to stirs these intense emotions in me. But I think you’re right. Confessing is probably the only way of getting over them.
Confessing isn't the path to getting over it. Confessing or talking to them about your feelings is just the path forward.
Good or bad it'll bring peace over time and take away that "could've been" feeling
Either way don't feel too down about it comrade. Life is a story and it's beautiful even when it's not what you had initially planned.
