My friend 22 m really liked this girl back in uni . She looks really good and even is talented in the arts and singing, and from the looks of it has a really good personality to top it off . During uni I once tried to set them up to talk to each other , get to know each other during our train ride to.the uni but man did he fuck up. He never spoke to her again after that. She had a boyfriend and she broke up and there was a tiny window where he could have at the least spoken to her. But he didn’t. He was scared of failing or something idk? Anyways he regretted this whole scenario and continues to regret it to this day and more than regret he blames external factors claiming he will “never be with her” / “never be good enough for her” , and the obvious fact that she has a boyfriend . He was always so awe struck whenever he saw her he’d become a deer Infront of headlights whenever he’d see her pass by in the university , like bro would legit Stand completely still just to process her presence. We’ve graduated a year ago and he still follows her public account, engages with her content and knows every detail of her. How many stories she posted , what was her last story, her reels , he knows her likes dislikes all of that from her digital He says he’s over her and doesn’t feel as strongly any more, but I feel it’s like holding on to a mistake that cannot be undone . I confronted him on this and we basically ended on the conversation with him saying “what’s wrong if I just follow her because I like her?” I want to know from all of you wether him unfollowing her is the healthy thing to do or not? He says she’s “realistic” because she’s not a celebrity but the closest thing to it even though he never made a move nor will make a move if she becomes single. Ofc it’s his life and I’m nobody to force him to do anything, I need to know if my assessment of the situation is right or wrong. submitted by /u/Pranav_devatha
