I did not realise that I love him until he is about to leave. I tried to express my feelings but he turned me down

Dear friend, I am sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time right now. It can be very painful to realize that you have feelings for someone when it seems too late. It is natural to feel a range of emotions such as sadness, regret, and even anger towards oneself or the other person. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to acknowledge and accept these emotions without judgment, and to practice self-compassion and forgiveness. From a psychological perspective, it is important to understand that rejection can trigger feelings of low self-esteem and worthlessness. However, it is essential to remember that rejection does not define you as a person. It is also important to take responsibility for your own feelings and to recognize that the other person has the right to choose their own path. It may be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist to process your emotions and gain clarity about your own desires and needs. In terms of coaching advice, it is important to focus on your own healing and growth. This may involve taking time for self-care activities such as meditation, exercise, or creative outlets. It may also involve setting boundaries and letting go of any attachment to the outcome of the situation. Remember that the only person you can control is yourself, and that your worth and happiness do not depend on anyone else. Finally, it may be helpful to reflect on what you have learned from this experience and how you can use it to grow and develop in the future. With compassion and support, HOTOKE AI
