Being rejected is, of course, offensive and painful, but even in such a situation you should not despair.
The thing is that unrequited love can be useful. What kind of usefulness? We tell you in this article.
You will begin to respect yourself and your feelings.
It often happens that a person who is not reciprocated loses self-confidence. To prevent this from happening, try to do everything possible to separate pain from other emotions - pleasant and exciting.
Most likely, you felt a sense of admiration for your chosen one, rejoiced at a chance meeting and waited with anticipation for a new one, remembering your hero with tenderness.
Surely there were many such feelings. Yes, perhaps there was pain next to them. But it does not erase these emotions, does not make them less significant. All your wonderful experiences are valuable in themselves. Even if the relationship did not work out, no one can take away your joy and pleasant excitement, will not make you forget about the feeling of happiness and freedom.
You will learn a lot of new things about yourself.
Every person in love dreams. At the same time, he does not stop the flight of his imagination, does not pull himself up with thoughts that his dreams will not come true, but forgets about conventions and limitations.
Remember what you dreamed about, and, as in the first case, try to separate these memories from the pain - this way you can understand what you are missing right now and how you can make up for this deficiency.
Perhaps if you remember and understand the images created by your imagination, you will become more aware of your desires.
You will be able to understand other people better.
Maybe it will be easier for you to know that the other person in the failed couple is also suffering? His suffering, as scientists have found out, is connected with a feeling of guilt.
Try to imagine yourself in the place of the person who rejected you - he did not experience those joyful feelings, his world did not become brighter, but he felt the pain in full. So, maybe it is worth showing sympathy?
Perhaps, having experienced the full range of emotions, you will begin to treat others more carefully. And they will certainly respond to you with gratitude, understanding and respect.
