Knowing it could end a friendship or even cause a right hullaballoo for people around them.They must go through agonies knowing that they cannot say anything because it could case more problems than solve. Unrequited love is a stinker isn't it. I am curious as to how people can go on when they feel like this.Thanks Reply to this Question

 I'm with Cerberus, even though I don't always think it's "that" easy. But be around them as little as possible and if possible cut them out of your life.
Pining after someone "unavailable" is wasted time and wasted emotions.

Life's too short to have people in my life that cause me pain, even if that pain is merely because of my feelings and not their fault.
It sucks to have to do but I can't live a life of pain, loneliness, jealousy when they get with someone, having a person who just looking at makes me feel sad. What's the point in that?
The decision to get rid of them is an easy one for me, doing it is tough and getting over them even tougher but to me there's no other option.

 You go on because what's the alternative? Distancing yourself from the object of your affection is a good idea, and keeping yourself occupied as much as you can is helpful. Time will slowly erode those feelings but you need to be patient, it won't happen overnight.
