You hate yourself for getting your hopes up.
For reading too far into the way they looked at you or the words they texted you.

They always act so calm and you always act so awkward.
You talk too much or you say too little.
You never come across the way that you want to.
You are hyperaware of the gap in your teeth and the size of your thighs.
You are careful about which pictures you post onSnapchatandInstagramin case the person sees them.
You become extra self-conscious because all you want to do is impress them.

The fact that you made extended eye contact.
The fact that they liked your latest picture.
The fact that your arms accidentally brushed when you walked by.
You feel your stomach sink during unexpected moments.
When they ignore your texts.
When they cancel plans.
When they post a picture with someone else.
When they flirt with someone else.
And finally, when they end up dating someone else.
Why you always fall for unobtainable people.
Even though you know how it is going to end, because it always ends the same way.
The people who see your worth.
The people who actually deserve your attention.
