How can you make yourself fall out of love with someone?

Or better yet: how do you stop someone from falling in love with you?

[But he's definitely just asking for a friend and not for himself at all. He definitely didn't get a canon update or anything, nope.]

I despise this feeling... I just want it to stop. I can't focus properly and at this rate it's just going to get in the way of what I need to do.

Oh, it's absolutely awful. It keeps you from making rational decisions, affects your sleep, your appetite, the way you live...but it's basically terminal once you've caught it. There's no cure that I've found.

And if you push them away, anyway, it doesn't stop it hurting. Not even a little.

[inabluemoon]

I'm fine with pain and used to it, so I don't care about that. But feeling like I can't even decide my own emotions... I hate it.

[theartofdying]

You aren't alone in that, at least. But it's a hard switch to turn off, and there's no guarantee you can turn it on again if you change your mind.

[inabluemoon]

I would never want it on.

[theartofdying]

Is that so? You should be careful what you wish for. Turning it off means not feeling anything at all. No joy, no fear, no excitement, no anger. Just a distant sort of boredom, with the occasional distraction of adrenaline and alcohol.

[inabluemoon]

You say that like I don't know that already.

[theartofdying]

It's really that bad, isn't it?

[inabluemoon]

It could be worse.

[theartofdying]

I suppose that's true. They could love you back.
