Have you experienced this kind of love --- unreciprocated love? What did you feel? Did you ever feel like giving up and just find another person who could love you as much? Please share your experiences on what you did to overcome the pain of unreciprocated love. Do you think it's selfish to ask someone to love us back?

Just a little bit... it was horrible and if I'm honest I don't think I'm fully over it yet. Loving someone that doesn't love you back can create so many confused emotions; you start just thinking why don't they love me back - surely thats the point of love. But then you start to ask yourself whats so special about you that you deserve to be loved back - this is where things turn for the worst. I started to hate myself for being so 'selfish' for wanting him to care. Slowly I started to realize that you can't make somebody care about you and that in my obsession over one person I was starting to neglect the people that already cared about me. It took time, very good friends and lots of tears but it is possible to come back from nonreciprocal love; its just difficult. x~x

I agree. It's really hard to overcome the feeling but you'll eventually realize that you can't keep yourself stuck with that situation. You have to move on and it's true that we take for granted those who really care about us when we are so obsessed in this one person. It's really difficult but anyone could eventually get over that feeling in time. We just have to help ourselves. Just divert our attention into other worthwhile things.

It's an experience that I find it very beneficial on my part. I was able to regain myself in a very positive way despite the fact that I have been miserable when I'm with him. I love him so much, but he likes hurting me. 
I became tougher after that relationship and I felt happy with it. No regrets!
