Unrequited love
Unrequited love is frustrating and insecurity-building and self-defeating and yet, it seems to plague a great many of us.
We fall for friends, or acquaintances, or people we barely know, and then drive ourselves crazy waiting for them to want us back. We begin to think we love them, that we are meant to be with them, and then we look for hints.
Well, look at the way he looked at me. Or that thing he said in passing. His last hug did seem to linger a bit…
When do we know if we are for real, or just deluding ourselves? And how do we know if we are engaging in perseverance or we are just closing ourselves off from meeting someone else?
I’d love to learn about some of your experiences!
