Never feel guilty for not having feelings for a person who has feelings for you.

You did nothing wrong for not loving them back. It is just unfortunate, but it is not your fault; that’s life for you.

You are only wrong if you knowingly lead a person on, when you know you have no feelings for them.

So, stop being too sweet to a person that you make them start having ideas.

There should be a limit to your “sweetness”; endeavour to improve/work on your emotional intelligence…and actually, use your common sense!

You don’t have to explain why you don’t love a person back, you don’t have to explain why you don’t feel anything for a person; it is unnecessary!

Not everyone can continue being friends with you when you tell them you don’t feel anything for them. In fact, very few can continue being your friend for real.

They are not fools and it doesn’t mean they have any ulterior motive; but it is extremely rare.

If a person stops being friends with you because you don’t reciprocate their feelings for you, let them be; that is the only way some people can heal and move on.

They don’t need to explain their decision to you; you’re not entitled to any explanation from them.

Don’t love out of pity; if you do, you’d eventually be pitied.

That is pure pity and not love.

It is very dangerous!

If A doesn’t love B the way B loves A, it is unwise for A to want to compensate B with a “pity love”. With time, A would eventually start being unable to continue pretending. The pity may (very likely) eventually become resentment, and the relationship would become toxic.

A person could like you very much, could love you deeply, but not attracted to you romantically.

Not every “love” is romantic love.

Also, when a person you trust with sensitive details about your life doesn’t (always) let you in on sensitive details about their life, it means they don’t regard you highly, they don’t trust you, and/or you are not as important to them as you thought.

Know your place, respect yourself, and move on with your life.

There are hundreds of millions of people who would make you feel special.
