Recently I was in a very odd situation and faced with an
interesting dilemma. A girl who I've known and been friends
with for awhile called me a few weeks before my school year ended
for the summer. As we talked we both revealed that we had feelings
for each other. Now, I had feelings for this girl from the time we
first met, but after awhile, I figured it would be better to just
put the idea out of my head and focus on being the one person she
could depend on no matter what. However, it didn't work out.
She had several suitors interested in her and she said that her
feelings were... confused. She admitted she had "commitment
issues," and she didn't want to hurt any of us.
Now, if anyone had come to me with this situation I'd have told
them that they'd be better off moving on. I know that's
what I need to do. The problem is that it's proving difficult.
I really liked this young lady and she was the first person I'd
been interested in in years (that's right. I hadn't even
had a crush in 3 years before this). What's even worse is that
I knew wanting more from this was a bad idea but I let myself want
it anyway.
So, I was hoping someone could tell me, why is it so hard to take
my own advice and get over it?

Report AbuseIt is hard taking your own advice, I've been there too. It seems hard because before you were the third party giving advice, now its you that is caught up in the situation so its harder to think clearly becasue of all the emotions that you are feeling. Now its your turn to go and talk to someone about your situation, someone who you trust that you know will help you no matter what. Make sure you talk to someone who is not involved with the situation because they see the problem in a different light. Or if you don't really have someone to talk to, then you just have to make your own decision, like you said you would normally move on, and make sure you stick with that decision. If you don't, you'll just hurt yourself and the nice girl. Sometimes you are your own best friend, and you'll have to be hard on yourself as if being hard on a friend. I hope this helps you somehow.
God Bless
