Knowing you don't love me back makes me feel pathetic

posted October 20th, 2016 at 9:17 AM

It's been years now. And you know your flirt back. And I finally told you how I feel. You gave me a wish washy confusing response. I took it as you trying to be nice and let me down gently. So why do you insist on always sitting next to me at meetings? Asking me for rides home from work? Calling and texting me all the time. When I smile and can't help but flirt with your charm I feel pathetic. And now I think you are a harming asshole that I still can't help but love.

They probably sit next to you, ask for rides and call/text because they think you are both friends.

No one owes you affection. If you don't want to spend time with the person anymore after you've revealed your feelings, then let them know. But don't expect them to think the friendship should just end only because you didn't share the same desire in the relationship.

You're being a shitty friend with that attitude. Either stop associating with them or get over it and move on.

Could be a narcissist. They bask in the glow of adoration.

"no one owes you anything". total bullshit. sounds like he/she has a fragile ego and likes your attention. and yes, maybe they only want to be friends, but they also enjoy you liking them, so they milk that. it's selfish, and painful to you, and you should stop associating with them. years later, i'm still raw over the same. f*ck you D.

Sociopaths and narcissists are everywhere.

Is exactly what this person is. Sociopath or narcissist are probably too strong diagnoses. You simply feed their ego . It's an emotional drain for you and they get all the glory and you are left depleted. Give it up. It's fruitless and draining and a time waster.
