Why do we want what we can't have?


Recommended Posts

(Not sure if this was serious enough for Kavar's Corner.)

 

I just recently found out one of my good friends doesn't like me "that way" now. I never shared her feelings, but since I found out, I want her badly. But I like this other girl.

 

Sometimes, I hate life. :D

 

Any opinions on the topic?

Ray talks about sex.

Astro gives sage old man advice

jmac says something about sexy girls.

All is right in the world.

 

Why do we want what we can't have? It's just human nature--the forbidden fruit. A lot of times, however, the real thing isn't nearly as good as what we imagined it would be when we didn't have it.

But it's usually worth risking quite a lot to try to get said forbidden fruit simply because any amount of sence won't work against the torment of not having it. Fear is temporarly, regrett is forever:D

No, no, no. It ain't love. I just want her to like me again, even though I never shared he feelings. And I'm to young to "love". Going on 15 in just over a week, I'll rather wait till 18 to start loving someone :D

 

I just wanted to know what you guys thought about "wanting what you can't have", not to "focus" on "my problem". I'll get over it in a few days.

 

 

i know what you're talking about. many years ago i had a friend who's sister had a big crush on me. she scribbled my name all over her school books. always timed it so when i went over to my friend's house she would be just coming out the shower... stuff like that. anyway i wasn't interested, but i liked the attention. it's always a self-esteem booster when you know someone likes you in that way. then one day she got herself a boyfriend and i couldn't help but be jealous. so then i started thinking... perhaps i do like her in that way... but i didn't it, was just the loss of the attention.

 

so let her move on and you concentrate on someone you are really interested in.

Interesting scenario. Good points, Sivy. I would make the argument that most high school relationships are just about the need for attention coupled with a bit of physical attraction.

Nice link, Prime. Thanks.

 

The grass is always greener on the other side... Happiness comes from learning to be content with what we have.

 

*Looks at thread* And no, this wasn't serious enough for Kavar's...

 

I think it would have taken on a more serious tone if it would have been in that environment. A different crowd would have been commenting, and the discussion would have been taken in a different direction, IMHO.

Or by aquiring what we don't have, depends on the person.

Which is probably why they are so wonderfull.

The rest I agree with, but check out who's been posting:D

Or pointless. Depends on your point of view.

 

Of course I don't actually think this - I had my share of high school relationships too.

Yeah, it's a lot of the same people, but I think the discussion would have a different tone if it was in Kavar's.
