My stupid obsessive nature...

Post Reply New Topic

I don't talk here much, as I'm sure my post count will demonstrate, but I really need to describe my situation to people that might understand how my brain works.

I seem to have fallen madly in love with a girl who insists she is madly in love with her boyfriend. He doesn't seem all that great, and doesn't seem to understand her very well. While I have only known her a short time I know her better than even most of her best friends. She tells me we would be miserable, and that she doesn't make a good girlfriend... but I can't help but think how great we would be together.

So now I've got it in my head that I can never love anyone else, and I must wait for her, but at the same time I know in the back of my mind if I let go then I'd get over her. You see... I don't want to let go but I'm worried about what I'll become if I dedicate any significant portion of my life to an unreciprocated love. On the other hand, I know she has feelings for me on some level, if she were single we'd be together by now and her current relationship seems to be entirely based on hiding me from her boyfriend and loving him out of indignation.

Anyway, all this comes from a rather troubled and confused head, maybe someone could give me a firm slap to sort me out.

This doesn't sound particularly abnormal, it happens to everyone. I don't mean to sound patronising, but you sound quite young, and I'm getting the impression this is the first time you've felt like this? You'll get over it. You'll meet someone new, and even though you remember what happened this time, you'll still feel like you'll never get over new girl. Then you will. And so on. That's just the way it works.

Sorry, ignore me people. I guess I'm just moaning about the inevitabilities of life, I really do ok for someone that never actually talks to girls. I've been here before subtlerift, but as you say I'll never learn.

Anyway, the problem is resolved and it looks like I won't see her again.

Again, sorry, I didn't mean to sound so melodramatic and self absorbed.

dude, just be happy she outright rejected you, as opposed to a rejection with a "maybe some other time" attached... that's what I got...

If only... It's been 6 years and I'm still not over girl #1... or #2, 3, and 4 for that matter (although the first one is the one i have the strongest feelings for...) I can meet and develop feelings for other women, but I can't dismiss feelings entirely, and probably won't be able to until someone finally accepts me, whether it be one I have already developed feelings for or will do so in the future...

Yep. What we need is less research on a "cure" for AS, and more on how to increase it. More logic! Less frustratingly illogical feelings!

Haha, sorry to laugh but I can relate so much. Love and AS don't seem to mix well at all...it's only natural to find yourself longing for another, AS, NT, whatever. No one truly wants to be alone. I was in similar situations myself, completely infatuated with a girl who I could never have.

It's hard to accept that, I know, but as ToadOfSteel said, it's better to have a definite no than a maybe. Hope is a fickle thing, it's both good or bad depending on the situation. Whenever I fall in love, I fall hard. And I'd do anything, despite the toll it may take on myself, to see it come to fruition.

It takes time to accept. To learn. And even then you won't have any real answers for yourself, just a way to cope with the pain. Just don't grow bitter as I had, battered with the rejection. 6 billion something people in the World after all.

Every experience in life is for the better, after all, human beings are nothing more than creatures of experience. We claim intelligence...when really, we're just puppets to what we have experienced in life.

I hear ya man, but don't push to hard, some girls can be turned off or even find your creepy if you try to hard,
