i have that problem a lot....i love my friends so so much...and it hurts so much when you realise that your love is not reciprocated anywhere near your level of love...that you love them so much more than they love you...but you can't hold that against them....because they love you as much as they can....sometimes we just have to accept that...and accept that at a certain level they put up a boundary....and if the friendship is really worth all we think and say it is...we will do all we can to stick to that boundary for the sake of friendship...
because if we give up on it just because they don't love us the way we want..we are defying everything we stand for..in loving them selflessly...
if a friend tells you to get over it...it's not because they don't care..they just have no concept of how debilitating and painful real depression is...they only see our problems for surface value...not for the way they affect us so deeply...
but be careful because some people can trick us into thinking they care...when really they have no empathy at all..and it is just that they are intelligent..smart and articulate..say all the right things...but without empathy...they remain cold to our deep deep depression that is hurting us so much...and that is what we have to be wary of...
if he really cares...but just does not understand..you can help him understand..and he will be receptive to that..
but if he is cold and heartless and wants you just to get over it...
the friendship is not worth it...because there is no real love that is pure...and the best love is the purest in form..
