21M, I am not able to accept limerence/infatuation. I think its love, please guide me.
I am a 21yo M
I think i m in love with a girl(21) i used to sit with back in my early primary classes....
we were close friend back then but as we moved ahead to senior classes our friendship faded. i hardly remember anything about our friendship.
after 10th our streams changed and we totally lost contact...
she was suggested by insta almost like 2.5 years ago so i followed her but at that time i had no feelings for her...
me mutually followed each other and then when she posted story of her birthday i simply replied happy birthday "...." after that she extened chat with me and we talked about life and career...
even at this time i had no feelings for her
after that we had few conversations during this 2-3 yrs period ocassionally .
i never approached her i never tried to extend chat with her.
whenver we had a chat she always extended it...
i remember i felt something for her like 6 months ago but it was not that intense but this feeling gradually increased...
in april 2026 i finally accepted and realised i am in love with her...
after that i tried to put stories in a way thinking that she might reply on it and i got a reply and i extended chat with her... but i forgot our past chat we had in which we discussed about career etc... so I asked her some questions in reply of which she told me that we already had a chat on these questions...
conversation felt less enthusiastic this time by her side....
in the end i wanted to make her feel special so i replied "nice talking with u, i discussed with a school friend almost after 3 years"
then she replied "well, we had chat previously too but whatever"
this reply using this word "whatever" made me feel so bad...
I think this was so rude from her side as i didnt text her a single word which might make her think i am simping i was just hsowing concern for her career...and after that i tried posting stories on which i was expecting her reply but she didnt reply to any of them after that chat... (usually she doesnt reply to stories and she never likes any story).
btw she is a fan of korean band
To me all this love etc.. were so cringe but recently when i fall into this feeling i feel so bad and good at the same time...
her thoughts are just unstoppable sometimes... not even single day passed without day dreaming about her... my sleep is disturbed tooo...
i started working on my physique and career aggressively hoping she would accept me someday...
but sometimes her thoughts distract me from my schedule...
This one sided shit is making my condition worse day by day...
bs esa lgta h ki use jaake bta dun apni feelings...
I searched my condition over internet and got to know about infatuation and limerence...
but to be honest i am not able to accept that its just an attraction.
but sometimes I doubt that how can i love her when i actually dont know her properly.
Should I stop thinking about any possibilities of us being together(which is close to impossible for me) but i can stop extending chat with her and not replying to any of her story ( she hardly post anything)... or should i try my best to give some meaning to these feelings 💔
Any senior bhaiya or didi please guide me
btw Sorry for any grammatical mistake
