Why do we always want what we can't have?

We look at the people we know we cant have but want to have because you lack in something that the girl you like has - i dont want you to let this overcome you where you are trapped in a bubble just thinking about what if what if ,, focus and be happy with yourself first and if she likes you she will show you that she does, it just takes time and im sure you will find like what Kruger said^^ alot of different people at university, heck, you wouldnt be surprised the amount of people you will like in one whole semester haha. focus on your mental health because this is uni we are talking about. not high school, dont do the same mistake as me where i let this guy control how i felt bc i needed him too but he never really cared. uni is your best time of your life and you shouldnt do this to yourself, eat well go out to cool places do things you like keep yourself busy and work hard because you need to focus on yourself, and you can always show her u like her, she wont be weirded out, girls like to know boys are there to protect them especially since she lives alone in a dorm far from her parents. have a good day

You are a student! There will be hundreds or thousands of single available young women at your university campus every day.

This is a golden opportunity for you to meet and get to know as many of these as you can. Most won't develop into anything romantic. The odd one here and there will.

Readjust your focus from your life and your inner world and from what goes on within your student digs to what is going on at your university and the world beyond. Do that with a glass half full frame of mind.

The best way to overcome anxiety, according to the NHS, is to face down your fears. The student world is a great place to do that, because it's such a safe environment and the consequences of failure in any endeavoour are not that great.

The grass is always greener on the other side, until you jump the fence and see the weeds up close

And before anyone says to just tell her how you feel, she's a shy girl and we live in the same flat so I don't think that's the best idea if it didn't work out as planned.

Good advice thank you🙂 In your opinion, if this girl always finds a way to text me about something everyday even when we are away home for the weekends and stuff, is this a sign she likes me? Ive never been so confused in my life I might have to move out of the flat if I can't control my mind and focus.
