Greetings,
Host:
I have carefully read the post and can discern the complex emotions you are currently experiencing from the content. Additionally, I note that you have courageously articulated your distress and proactively sought assistance on this platform, which will undoubtedly facilitate a deeper understanding of yourself and enable you to make adjustments and choices that align with your needs and preferences.
Subsequently, I will present my observations and thoughts from the aforementioned post, which may assist the poster in developing a more nuanced perspective.
1. What is the psychological significance of rejection?
In the original post, the author indicated that they had developed feelings for someone they knew was not possible to be with. Following the rejection, the author experienced a significant emotional response. Had they been aware of the hopelessness of the situation, they would not have persisted in contacting the individual. Instead, they suggested maintaining a friendship. However, they continued to pursue a romantic relationship, which ultimately led to distress and a sense of self-loathing. The author also reported feelings of anxiety and an inability to stop thinking about the individual.
After reading this information, I initially comprehend the host's anxiety and longing. Concurrently, I am intrigued by the host's behavior and inquire as to the underlying cause of this abnormality in response to rejection.
What is the psychological significance of this rejection?
Such an investigation may assist the poster in gaining a deeper comprehension of one's emotional state and inner self.
For many individuals, rejection elicits feelings of anxiety due to the fear of ultimate loss. This can manifest as a desire to reconnect with the rejected individual. Some may even experience a sense of value frustration following a rejection. Therefore, it is essential for the poster to examine the personal significance of rejection.
2. If he is interested in you, what are the implications for you?
In the aforementioned post, the host indicated that I believe this is due to my perception of interest from the individual in question, as evidenced by certain details that I am currently uncertain about. I am now faced with the decision of whether to ascertain the veracity of this interest and subsequently determine whether to pursue the matter further (I do not seek a definitive outcome, merely the process), or to abandon the pursuit outright.
From the information provided, it can be surmised that the primary interest of the host is whether he is interested in you. Therefore, it would be beneficial to engage in a discussion and exploration of this topic.
From this information, it seems that the one thing the host is concerned with is whether he is interested in you. Therefore, it is important to consider what his rejection signifies. Is it possible that he rejected you for practical reasons, rather than because he does not like you?
If the individual in question is interested in the subject, what implications does this have for the subject?
Does this make you feel desperate? If he has a crush on you, how do you feel about that?
Furthermore, if the host is interested in the subject, it would be beneficial to ascertain which needs he is fulfilling. It is likely that through this process, the subject will gain a deeper understanding of their own emotional state.
3. Further study is required.
It is possible that the host may not be able to provide a straightforward solution to this problem. Consequently, it may be beneficial to consider what can be done for oneself in this situation. It seems plausible that the host may attempt to redirect one's attention back onto oneself, utilising the current confusion as an opportunity for introspection and personal growth.
It may be the case that we currently lack the requisite knowledge and abilities to solve this problem. Consequently, it would be prudent to redirect our attention towards self-reflection. This approach allows us to temporarily cease pestering the other party while maintaining a certain degree of distance. Additionally, it affords us the opportunity to enhance our own personal growth. One avenue for doing so is through the acquisition of knowledge about the psychology of intimate relationships.
Additionally, there are courses available. Should you be interested, you are encouraged to peruse the book Intimacy, authored by Mr. Huang Qituan. Should you have the financial resources, you are also advised to seek the counsel of a professional psychological counselor, entrusting the resolution of professional issues to the expertise of such professionals.
In conclusion, it is my hope that these resources will prove beneficial and inspirational to you. I am a coach at One Psychological Exploration.

I can relate to how confusing and painful this situation is for you. It's hard when feelings are not reciprocated the way we hope. Maybe it's time to focus on yourself and let go of what might be.
It sounds like you're really torn between your feelings and reality. Sometimes stepping back and giving yourself space can help clear your thoughts and heal.
You mentioned having a career and hobbies; perhaps immersing yourself in those could offer some comfort and remind you of your own worth and independence.
I admire your selfawareness. It's tough to acknowledge when someone is out of reach. Taking care of your mental health by moving on might be the best thing for you right now.
Feeling uncertain about his interest is frustrating, but chasing answers that may never fully satisfy you might only lead to more heartache. Trusting your instincts and choosing peace over uncertainty could be rewarding.
