"Catching feelings" is avoided in my generation quite like catching the flu. No one wants to be caught dead admitting once they have developed feelings for someone, and sadly a lot of people will cut their ties with someone once they begin to feel these feelings. This generation likes to pretend that it is cool to avoid feelings. We are all heartless zombies who just hang out with people long enough for only one person to fall just as soon as the other starts to run off. Sounds painful doesn't it?

We are humans with beating, working, brains and hearts. With that being said, we will develop feelings over time, and it is completely unreasonable to try to say that you do not want to catch feelings for someone you are spending almost every weekend with.

Girls are constantly shamed for developing feelings for a guy to quickly. Some guys are even called weird when they end up falling for the girl they have been hanging out with, because the "cool" thing to do is act like you don't feel anything at all.

News flash, millennials: we were made to have feelings. Rather those feelings be from love, happiness, sadness, anger; I have them and you do to no matter how deep you try to hide them.

Maybe you actually don't develop feelings for the certain person you've been hanging out with; this may sound crazy, but just tell them you aren't feeling the same way as them. It's going to sting, but it's a hell of a lot better than leading them on for weeks on end for the exact same outcome.

You might "date" (we'll use this term loosely) someone for two weeks before you start to develop feelings or two days but either way it is completely normal and you shouldn't be forced to hide the way you're feeling on the inside. Instead of mocking those who are in love and faithful, we should be looking up to their relationship. Anyone can pretend they don't have feelings, it takes a real person to tell someone exactly how they feel especially knowing that the person may easily not feel the same.
