“How should I deal with someone I genuinely care about but who doesn't reciprocate my efforts?
I'm a 24-year-old guy, and I've developed feelings for someone. I genuinely enjoy talking to her and always try to maintain conversations, show interest and make her feel valued.She is the one btw who made me felt special and started Convo with me,but after when I got attacked she started to go cold.
However, I often feel that the effort is one-sided. She sometimes gives dry replies, doesn't show much interest in continuing conversations, and occasionally says things that make me feel disrespected or unimportant.
I've noticed that I keep looking forward to her messages and giving her attention, even when I don't receive the same energy in return. I don't want to become someone who constantly seeks validation or chases another person's attention.
At the same time, I genuinely like her and find it difficult to detach emotionally.
My questions are:
1. How should I handle this situation without becoming emotionally dependent?
2. Should I communicate my feelings directly or simply step back and observe?
3. How can I maintain my self-respect while still caring about someone?”

Someone answered with kindness...
simply step back and observe--yes atleast for a couple of days -- then i hope you will realize that only you are the one who is giving/showing too much interest.
