It is a humiliating experience as the unrequited gives so much power and head space to their beloved who probably doesn't give them a second's thought. All the accompanying angst and those esteem-throttling thoughts gradually drain us and make us feel worthless. It is important that we can regulate our self-esteem on our own and not need a third party to give our life purpose. Knowing that he/she does not reciprocate our feelings is more beneficial from the point of moving on. Being ignorant from the sidelines and swooning is a waste of energy and emotion and only serves to debilitate us.
All my life I have dealt with unrequited crushes and romantic interests.
The last guy I liked was the worst...my feelings got more involved than I realized. I dealt with a lot of emotional pain, self esteem problems, and depression. It still affects me today but I am a lot better than I was a few years ago.

So have I. There's nothing worse than having to suppress your own needs and desires so that somebody else can be happy, which is what this boils down to.
Of course, having cerebral palsy, I have been dismissed without regard by every woman I've ever been interested in. They see me as helpless. I'm not, but I can't seem to convince them of that.
If you love and care about someone, if you want to care for them and you hope for their well-being, it's love. If they don't love you back, it has nothing to do with your love for them.
The first instance exists even if the second one doesn't.
