People are human, but regardless of issues or insecurities, most people do not drown themselves in a vat of self-pity on a daily basis. They try to work on their problems, to get a better perspective, so that they can actually move forward.

But you're right about one thing... if someone wants to stay stuck in a certain thought process indefinitely, they absolutely will do so.
I am in a circumstance that I am not happy about and is considered one of the worst circumstances to be in. But I recognize my part in it so I do what I can to find ways to move forward. I look to possible solutions and try them out.

I do have my times of being down and drowning. At the same time, something snaps me out of it, and I pick it back up.

Well, that's something.

So you know where to start, and that's what counts.

Don't say anything about height. It's not the magic bullet you and some others claim it to be. Otherwise, anything like physical health, fitness, wardrobe, etc.

What would you change mentally? (Learn new skills, information, etc.)

You don't have to post your answers on this forum, this is more something for you to think about.
Physically? My face lol.

I dress pretty decently I’m in decent enough shape could be better though..Football season is always tough to eat healthy all the time lol

And this ^^^ is a very healthy mindset to have. It's not about things getting a person down, it's about whether that person CHOOSES to stay down and not bother to look for a possible solution. That's the difference here.

I see both sides of it..The people who say if you break off the friendship it was never a true friendship to begin with are ignorant imo..Just because that person rejected you doesn't mean you could just flip a switch and turn off your feelings for your only human not a machine.


The person who rejected you did nothing wrong to but nothing hurts more than seeing the person your crazy about seeing someone else when you believe it should be you.


No will, no blame game just plain old unrequited love. And everyone knows how much unrequited love hurts. When you cant bare the pain of seeing them in another persons arms because you felt it should have been you.

So I get both sides but people who cut these friendships off shouldn’t be vilified because they’re doing it for self preservation
I agree - and understand it is a matter of self preservation. That said, I’m happy my ex girlfriend chose to remain friends after I realized there wasn’t a romantic connection for me. She didn’t speak to me for awhile; but a lot of time has passed - and now we are great friends.
