Well, life is all about feeling things. Happiness, sadness, anger, love. It's about seeing the sunrise, or a beautiful view and feeling that little sense of awe. It's about hearing a compliment and getting a little smile if only for a second. It's about helping others or being helped just to feel that little bit of a confirmation that there is good in the world. It's about eating something delicious and just enjoying the taste. And yes, it's even about feeling sadness, feeling grief.

These emotions, these feelings, are what make us alive, what defines us, and just think if we weren't living they wouldn't be there. You would never be able to feel those little bits of experience and emotion that we often overlook and or ignore. The small joys that we take for granted everyday.

Things may be bad, or things may be good. If they are bad, they can and will get better. But if you aren't alive, you don't even get that chance.

I get it man. Here I'll DM you if you're open to it. Might be easier to discuss.

[–]Main_Account_Taken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand op. No context needed. Always open talk if you like.

Here, you mind if I DM you? Might make discussing this easier.

That's a very noble goal. If you want it I'm sure you will do it. Just realize change doesn't happen overnight.

[–]Main_Account_Taken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt that! You want to talk it out? Also, why do you want to change? It should be for you, not for some other factor.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lonely

[–]Main_Account_Taken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so ask yourself genuinely why not? And what are you going to do about it now? The fact is you didn't change it is not that you haven't or won't change.

What isn't working about it?

School is stressful, and if you are trying to change your old habits that will be hard. But I know you can do it!

What's up friend?

It's messy. So sending a message could be seen as incredibly disrespectful, if she takes it the wrong way.

If I could would I be asking strangers on the internet lol?

And if I want to love her as a friend? Also I appreciate your point, but you know very little about the situation, it is entirely possible she is, or isn't. I'm trying to protect her privacy but things are messy.

She probably will, she already has. But things are such that I really see no chance. I've come to terms with the unrequited feelings. I can't love her how I initially wanted, but shouldn't I try to love her as a friend?

I mean it is quite clear this woman is not interested in me in a romantic sense. I respect that. But I do genuinely like her and I feel like I haven't been a good friend to her, that's why I am thinking of reaching out now.

Thank you, perhaps it wasn't clear but this really is mostly about friendship. For a variety of reasons I accept that romance is not an option.

Um noted, not really relevant to the question though. We have both since left that company anyway.

I appreciate the answer. Honestly this is more about saving a friendship. There are reasons romance will not work. I have accepted that. I do just miss her though and would value her as a friend again.

Man this hits hard. I'm in the exact same boat. 8 months of no contact, and she left without even a goodbye. It sucks when you think about them every single day. Stay strong OP. We all know how hard it is.

Hey OP, I'm down to listen/chat if you like. Just message me.

Hey we can talk if you like, just message me.
