Have You Ever Been in a One-Sided Relationship?

My ethics wouldn’t allow me to stay with someone that I knew I didn’t reciprocate their feelings, but I have been the person with all the feels on a few occasions. I used to have this ongoing joke, “what’s that? You’re hot, philosophical, and emotionally unavailable with tons of baggage? This will never work. You’re just my type” 🤣

Mostly I had to work on myself. Things like working on my life, getting clear with who I am and what I want, and nurturing my self-esteem. I had to allow myself to let go of my unhealthy inner narrative about love/relationships and welcome in new healthier expectations. To reinforce those healthier ideas I had to learn more about healthy relationship skills, which then became my standards. I also had to learn how to have better boundaries with people.

I metabolise grief overnight, reason and pride soon takes precedence and I move on to the next (better) person

yes, years ago . They tricked me in to thinking it was real, then would go hot and cold .
