Is it normal to be emotionally attached to your own rival/enemy?

Question

It is awful, the person is my own enemy and i can't stop thinking about them, we don't talk anymore because the school banned us from being around each other or we would be put to court. We have only one lesson together and its the lesson we both go crazy, but now when everyone found out i love my enemy this great depression hit my rival/enemy is always depressed and looks like about to cry my friends think its because of not knowing what to do now, HELP!

Answer 1

Well really nobody would hate another person so badly or put up with them and argue and fight with them unless they actually did care. Now, i don't understand who's depressed. If it's your enemy then I don't think your friends are right. Sure, it might leave him confused, but not depressed. Ask him what's wrong 'cause it's obviously something deeper.

If you're depressed then your friends might be right. You're probably flipping out and worrying now about him or what he might say of the situation. And, since you two have such a great, yet hateful, bond, you're missing him and that might be what's making you depressed.

Basically, talk to him. Say sorry for any hurtful thing you've done to him. Be friends. Just talk. Don't flirt right away though.

I hope it all works out. And don't listen to the guy above me because....well...he's a guy and he doesn't care.

Answer 2

The true greatest emotions are love and hate; usually hate is derived from love, like an ex-lover, spouse or family member who stole your wallet, etc.  But on the contrary, the emotion of hate can also turn to true passion or infatuation of fantasy sometimes even love.

Answer 3

your parents put you in school to learn, not for this c**p.

Answer 4

yyes

Answer 5

omg that is so hot and kinky lol xD. a lot of people are attracted to those whom they hate as its kind of a temptation as you always know that you'll never get them or they'll never get you as "you hate each other". which is probably untrue as thats only the surface. stop hating him/her then. if you love him/her

Answer 6

Perhaps if it's okay, you might want to meet your rival outside of school and ask what's wrong. Perhaps you both could become friends, it's not good for her to be depressed. And if you are the cause or something else, I think it'd be good to find out. Whether by having a friend ask for you, or something else. But don't do anything rash, and think it through before doing it. You should make your own decision on this matter.
