Always liked but never pursued
I don’t know, I’ve always felt like I’m liked, but never really pursued. It’s kind of a weird feeling because it’s not like people don’t enjoy having me around, but it’s like I’m just... there. I’m the friend people hit up when they need someone to talk to or hang out with, but when it comes to anything deeper, I’m kind of left in the background. It’s like, people are cool with me, but they’re not really trying to make me a priority. It’s honestly a little frustrating because I’ve noticed this happening a lot in different situations, and I’m starting to wonder why it always feels like I’m not the one they’re after.
It’s even worse when it comes to relationships. There have been times when someone shows interest, but nothing ever really comes of it. I’m the person they’ll text or talk to when it’s convenient, but when it’s time to take things further, I’m kind of just left hanging. It’s like, yeah, they like me, but they never make the move or put in the effort. It’s hard not to feel like I’m just an option, not the one they’re really chasing after.
I’m getting kind of tired of it, honestly. It’s cool being liked, but it would be nice to feel like I’m someone people actually want to go after, you know? I get that maybe I’m not the loudest person in the room, or maybe I’m just not making the effort either, but sometimes I just want to be the one someone actually fights for—not just the person who’s around when they need someone.
It’s tough, though, because I’ve been in that “liked but never pursued” spot for so long, I’ve almost gotten used to it. Still, I’d like to change that. I want to feel like I’m worth more than just being the backup plan.
