"Love Sick" Just how sick is too sick

On a scale of common cold to tuberculosis, just how sick are you?

Let me enlighten you - If you are in love, well, there is no antidote, no medicine and definitely no cure. I mean this sickness is not even on the list. It far surpasses any disease to ever hit mankind. You know how I know it, BECAUSE I NEVER GOT IT.

This world, unfortunately, is full of young, vacuous people whose only job in life is to get love sick every few months and then ruin the lives of all those around them by talking of nothing else but the impending doom. Since we are not getting the wedding cards anytime soon or EVER and you are not going to be responsible for increasing the world population further, how about we just put an end to the non-stop whining and whispering and wallowing and just never talk about it.

Now, don't get me wrong. If this were my best friend, I would love to and insist upon knowing about each and every single relationship of hers. But if the said BFF fell in and out of love as frequently as I do my laundry, let's just say we wouldn't be BFFs in the first place!

I am not against love, but I am against hearing about it all day, every day especially when I know it is not going anywhere. Few signs for the stupid minds :

1. Did he ask you out? No, I do not mean that you happen to be together, outside with other people. I mean did he ask you out on a proper date, implying that it was a date?
2. Does he tell people about you? I am not saying that he go and tell his parents about you, but does he hide the fact that you hang out from his friends? If that's so, then the first red alarm should be going off in your head right now.
3. Does he make you a priority? I am not saying he leave all his work just for you but let's say you waited 2 extra hours for him, the least he could do is drop you home. 
4. Are there other girls in his life? While you may be thinking of nothing but him, he may have 2 or 3 more on his mind. *red flag*
5. Does he share things with you? Not what he had for breakfast but the important stuff like his ambition, his thoughts, troubles, what he likes, who he likes, admires, wants to be like. Those things. Because if he doesn't then this isn't important enough. Any what isn't important is not going to last. 
6. Just one last thing - Does he care about you? This one goes deeper than you may think. His words shouldn't be the only thing caring about you, does he show that he cares, his actions, do they make you feel special. Is he there when you need him the most? 

All I want to say is,

Don't be the emotional doormat. 

This is a sickness and I am sick of hearing about it. One day there is going to be an actual problem called the "Love Ear" caused due to being overexposed to Love talks. I respect people who are in relationship and manage to have a life as well. And I love people who in spite of being in a relationship can talk about other things as well. Now imagine just how much I like people who talk of nothing but their insignificant other half and they are not even in a relationship! Wow. 

Today you are happy and 2 days later all hell will break loose. You wouldn't want to see his face ever again or talk to him and you will be furious and your head's gonna blow. This will last for about 2-3 days and then miraculously he will be a saint again. I don't want to know, please leave me out of it. The best friend here has to keep up with the latest trend - do we hate him or do we love him? Come Monday and we will be going through the exact same routine. Give it 6 months, an year tops - same routine, different guy.

Imagine going through so much when they're not even officially dating or dating at all. 

This makes me think why go through so much trouble for something so fickle. But the people involved don't think like this, tbh they don't think at all. They have a sickness and it's not getting cured. Remember when you ate something which gave you a bad stomach the next day so you just never eat it again? Yeah, that's not how it works with people in love. When love gives them a heartache, they just yearn for it even more. 

So the next time in your life you come across a person suffering from a huge case of Lovenititis or Love Sickness as I would call it, run away. You don't need that kind of influence in your life. 

If you are one of the sick ones, go to a doctor or a shrink. Don't come to me. This ear is officially out of business.

That's all from my frustrated self.

See you next time if you're still kicking around.

XOXO
