Hello, I'm Hua Er.
Let's quote the original words of the questioner. Let's discuss the crux of the problem in steps. Let's share new ideas and approaches. Let's give examples. And let's talk about the world and how I love you.
I'm going to give the questioner, who asked late at night, a big hug! If it were me, I'd be in the same boat, struggling with this relationship. I'd want it but not want it, like it but dislike it, making it hard to choose.
Let's sort this out first.
When the questioner is sad, the first thing that comes to mind is ta. They need to understand why this is the case.
Your initial impression is inconsistent with what you later come into contact with, which makes you feel lost and disappointed.
You want to meet, but you're also afraid because of disgust. You're torn between two feelings and at a loss.
You're afraid to make a choice because you're torn between whether you'll fall in love with him or be jealous.
The questioner is repeatedly torn between the relationship because they are not yet ready to face the above emotional distress. I am going to share my views with the questioner.
When I have a problem and want to cry, the first person I think of is him. I don't know why, but I know I miss him and I know what I want from him.
He provides emotional value when I'm sad.
When we are sad, we think of him first because we know he can and will take on our sadness. We know we can share our sadness with him more than any other friend.
When we're having a hard time, the other person can comfort us, offer new solutions, and relieve our emotions. We know we can pour out our negative emotions to the other person.
This is the unique emotional value that the other person provides.
I fell in love with him at first sight during our first video call. However, I soon realized that he wasn't as good-looking as he appeared in that video (the lighting made him look handsome that day) and that his personality was completely different from what I had thought at first. I know I shouldn't be thinking about him anymore, but I think about him every day.
What you like is an imaginary version of the person.
When you fall in love at first sight, you have a lot of fantasies and expectations for the person. You think that the other person will have the personality you expect. Even after you realize that this is not the case, you still miss the other person. The questioner wants to continue discovering, anticipating, and exploring this person. They have a sense of curiosity, wanting to know what else about this person is different from what was expected.
The subject hopes that the other person will provide emotional value. It could also be a habit.
I want to chat with him and meet him.
I'm also afraid that I won't like him once I meet him.
Because I didn't like so many things about him in the first place.
At the same time, everything about him disgusted me. His voice, the way he spoke, his work, his life, even the sound of him eating—it all revolted me.
I would feel more disgusted if he complained to me or cried.
?
It must be a habit.
How long does it take to develop a habit? The formation of a habit generally goes through three stages.
The first stage lasts 1 to 7 days and is characterised by deliberate, unnatural behaviour. The second stage lasts 7 to 21 days and is characterised by deliberate, natural behaviour.
The third stage is about 21 to 90 days and is characterized by "unintentional and natural." This is the "stable period of habit formation," and once you've made it through this stage, the habit is an integral part of your life.
Every day for four months. Four months, 120 days, far more than 90 days, uninterrupted contact.
The questioner and TA have likely become accustomed to contacting each other. They are used to it, want to meet, but are also disgusted.
The questioner is the only one who knows how they feel and whether they like each other. What are the specific reasons why the questioner wants to meet?
The questioner can list them specifically. The questioner mentioned wanting to chat with him, so the questioner must have had a reason for wanting to chat with him.
The questioner was undoubtedly attracted to the way he talked. The questioner wanted to talk to him.
The questioner must have wanted to share her life with him. She mentioned that she dislikes many aspects of him. This dislike is undoubtedly the direct reason why the questioner doesn't like him.
If he asked me to be his girlfriend, I'd be happy and excited, but I'd say no. I don't like him, I don't think we're a good match, and I don't know enough about each other.
I get jealous when I think about him getting a girlfriend.
We must face our fears and make a choice.
If you choose to fall in love, the questioner will hesitate, thinking that you don't like each other, you are not suitable for each other, and you cannot be together. The questioner also feels that they don't know you well enough.
I have a question. You've been chatting every day for four months. You don't know each other. What did you talk about? Didn't you test each other in your 120-day conversations?
If you choose not to fall in love, there's no reason for the questioner to be jealous of him finding a girlfriend. It's probably because he's afraid of losing this dependence.
You're afraid that if he gets a girlfriend, you won't be able to chat with him whenever you want.
We fear the result of making a choice. We anticipate the result as if it will not align with our desires.
Right now, you might be in an ambiguous and vague stage where you can enjoy the care and attention without having to be responsible for the other person. This might be the most free stage, but it's also the most unstable. So, questioner, try it out and make a brave choice!
You need to decide whether you like it or not. You also need to decide what is suitable and what is not.
The questioner should also ask their own heart.
I am confident that the above will be helpful to the questioner, and I wish you well.
Comments
I can totally relate to feeling conflicted like this. It's confusing when you miss someone but also find things about them annoying. Maybe it's worth exploring what exactly draws you to him despite the negatives.
It sounds like a complex mix of emotions. Perhaps the excitement comes from the novelty or the potential of what could be, rather than who he actually is. Have you considered talking to him about how you feel?
This situation seems really tough. On one hand, you have these strong feelings for him, and on the other, there's so much that bothers you. Do you think giving the relationship more time could help you sort out your feelings, or would it just complicate things further?
It's strange how we can feel both attraction and repulsion towards the same person. Maybe it's not about him at all, but more about what you're looking for in this stage of your life. Have you thought about what you want from a relationship?
Jealousy and wanting to see him despite knowing you might not like what you see suggests there's still something unresolved between you two. Would it help to talk to a friend or a counselor about these mixed feelings?
