Even When He Is Treating You Like Nothing

It is hard to break away from that guy you are really into.

Even When He Is Treating You Like Nothing
Her Campus

When he is treating you like you are nothing, it is hard to break away from that guy you are really into. Whether he is just your crush or you have been in a committed relationship with him for the past few years, sometimes your heart is just so wrapped around him that you keep trying to make things work even when he does not seem to care if you are around or not. But no matter how much you adore him that is why you need to force yourself to break the emotional ties that bind you to the guy who does not actually care about you or your happiness.

It is a waste of energy.

When you invest everything in a guy who does not invest anything in you, you are basically throwing all your kindness and care down the drain.

It won't make him change his mind.

It does not matter what you say or how often you say it, if he does not care about you now, it is not going to change anytime soon. Even if you are giving your all, he is very unlikely going to wake up one day and realize what he is letting go. Sometimes we think that if we just try a little harder or care a little more it will make all the difference but the reality is you are almost always better off doing the opposite when it comes to men like this.

Leave your heart open for someone more worthy.

How are you ever going to find someone who treats you like gold if you are still focused on the guy who does not seem to care that you even exist? Everything you are putting into this guy could be better spent on someone way more special but you will never be able to give him a chance if you keep using all your energy on the guy who treats you like you don't matter.

You are just hurting yourself.

Nothing good can come out of this. When you keep investing so much into a person who cannot be bothered to treat you like a human being you are just asking for a heartache. I know it is hard to pull yourself away but you need to start trying if you ever want to get back to being the normal you.

You will look back and wonder why you cared so much.

I totally get why you care about this guy so much right now but once you make up your mind to get over him, it is going to put you on the path to wondering why you thought he was such a big deal in the first place. That is exactly where you want to be.

The longer you hold, the worse it is going to get.

You have already put so much effort into trying to make this guy care about you which is why it will be so hard to let go. It is going to be tough to move on now, but it is going to get even harder with each passing day. The sooner you start trying to let him go to faster you are going to be able to get on with your life.

He is not even that great.

What could be so awesome about a guy who does not care about you? When we really like someone we tend to look past their flaws and focus on their good qualities. But actually, there are so many better guys out there who are better than this one. You will see it once you try to force yourself to stop caring about him.

If you are not on his mind, he should not be on yours.

It is much easier said than done. But, it is absolutely worth the effect to get him out of your head. If he knows it or not, you are treating him like a priority when he is treating you like an option and this is not simply fair to you.

You gave him a fair chance already.

You have already put this guy way up high on your list of priorities. He knows that he had an opportunity to treat you the way you deserve to be treated but he wasted it. You have already done your part and now he has neglected to make the same effort for you. It is time to move on and focus on giving yourself the love he would not have given you.

You know that your standards are higher than this.

You have already promised yourself that you would never settle for someone who treated you like this and yet here you are. It is hard to see just how bad things are when you are on the inside of a situation like this. If you could take a step back and give yourself advice you, you know deep down that you would tell yourself that you deserve better than what this guy is giving you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
