Why do i keep falling for the wrong people?

Author

i had a crush on this person. honestly i still do. when i first confessed she told me she might like me too so of course i let myself believe maybe something real could happen between us. today we even went on a date. then later while we were texting she told me she thinks she might be aegoromantic and that she can’t return my feelings the way i want her to.
and i’m not mad at her. not even a little. it’s not her fault. i’m just angry at myself for letting these STUPID feelings get this deep again and risking another friendship over it. it feels like every single time i let myself care about someone it ends the exact same way.
and please don’t hit me with the you’re only 14 stuff because trust me i already say that to myself enough. like somehow being young is supposed to make this hurt less. it doesn’t.
being gay honestly makes it even harder sometimes. i can’t even count how many friends i’ve fallen for who turned out to be straight or just never liked me back. after a while you start wondering what the point of falling in love even is when all it seems to do is leave you heartbroken.

being 15 and crying over a girl who said she “might” like me too, those mixed signals can keep you hanging on for way longer than people realize 💔

i don’t think you should beat yourself up for having feelings. honestly, i started healing a little when i stopped treating my own heart like it was embarrassing or “too much.” you cared about someone, that’s not stupid.

when she told you she might like you back at first, do you think she genuinely believed it then and later realized she couldn’t return it, or did it already feel confusing from the beginning?

are you sure this second time wasn’t you rebounding?
