Here’s how you can learn from the experience, and emerge stronger on the other side.
One-sided love and rejection is a normal experience, yet each time it happens, it feels uniquely painful. The sting of unrequited affection doesn’t have to lead to a dead-end, though.
It’s okay to feel hurt, disappointed, or even angry. These emotions are natural responses to rejection. Allow yourself to process these feelings rather than suppressing them. Recognise that your emotions are valid, but they don’t define your worth or future happiness.
