I’ve Been Secretly in Love With Someone for a Long Time, but They Don’t Feel the Same Way. i Feel so Heartbroken and Worthless. why Does Unrequited Love Hurt so Much?

Dear friend, your feelings are completely valid and understandable. Unrequited love hurts because you’ve invested your genuine emotions and hopes in someone, making their indifference feel like a personal rejection. But please know that their inability to see your worth doesn’t diminish your value as a person. You are worthy of love exactly as you are. This pain, while deep now, will gradually transform into wisdom and strength. Try to redirect some of that love and care you’ve been giving to others back to yourself. Engage in activities that make you feel alive, surround yourself with supportive friends, and trust that the right person will recognize your beautiful heart when the time is right. Your capacity to love deeply is actually one of your greatest strengths.
