HI all, just was wondering peoples' views on this. Why is it, and I notice this in the gay rather than lesbian or bi part of the community although it probably goes on, that we are so hard on people experiencing unrequited love. When you like someone and people around you find out they discourage you and say oh he's not interested. But when we know someone who is experiencing unrequited love we tend to be very hard on them. Not everyone can just go oh plenty of fish in the sea. It is a horrible thing to go through but is made worse by those around us who shame and abuse us for feeling this way. Side note, I know it can be unpleasant for the person getting the UR and I am not suggesting stalking or self-harm but sometimes I just feel we are way too hard on those who just cannot let go, or take a long time to let go. We need to be more kinder. Just my view wondering what others think.
