People can be so heartless.

IYKYK

"See ya in chemistry!"

• "If you know, you know"

Some people don't think before responding, or do worse without verbalizing.

The fear of rejection is what prevents most people from being true to themselves.

What's the point of withholding your feelings about someone you have strong affections for if you can't verbalize them? If you're hoping they'll make the first move, then you're just playing games. And who has times for games? No one.

If you're worried about someone responding to you in a way you weren't hoping after using the "L" word, who cares?

What you really should be asking yourself is, "What if they love me too but they are also freaked out like I am?"

You'll never know until you take that leap.
