Are You Friend-Zoned Or Rejected? How To Tell The Difference

Did you just get friend zoned?

 

We interact with so many people in a day. We meet hundreds of people in school, colleges, at work, while commuting, through common friends. It is a very normal thing to fall for a person whom we have known in the sphere of life. Falling in love is a wonderful feeling. You get butterflies in your stomach whenever you see the person. You start seeing everything in a positive light. Heartbreak sets in when you get friend-zoned or rejected. That sure hurts. There is, however, a clear demarcation of the two

If you proposed to the person you lost your sleep over, and got a reply saying that you are a very good friend and they really enjoy being with you, then you just got friend zone. If they hang around with you, send you messages saying that they miss you or really like you, but tell you that you are a very good friend when you propose, then you are in that dreaded zone. If someone friend-zones you then it means that they may like you but are not interested in having a romantic relationship with you. So, friend zone means that they expect you to be there for them, it times of their needs, but they are not to be found when you really need them. It is a wise move to quit such a relationship, or bound limits. If you are friend zoned, do not waste your time thinking that they might change their feelings, if you continue doing good stuff for them. Either stop contacts with such people, or maintain a simple term of friendship.

Rejection Is A Way Of Telling That You Are Unwanted

Rejection is a harsher yet clearer way of telling you that someone is not interested in dating you or have a romantic relationship with you. If someone just ends up saying that they are not interested in you, and do not add things like you are a friend they really like or so, then they are making it s evident that they expect nothing from you. There are high chances that these people will completely ignore you henceforth, or block you from social media platforms.

It is definitely a tough time to deal with either phase for anyone, yet talking practically, you will have to move on. Cry as much as you want, but then get up and get going. It would only be a waste of time, and petting thoughts that will not come true.
