Assalamualaikum
Everyone. Here is another interesting topic for all of you. Let's have a look.
“The Zone”.
What’s worse than getting rejected by the person you like or have a crush on? That’s right, getting “friend-zoned”!!
When there’s a sense of being slighted, you’re not in the “friend zone,” you’re probably just not friends. When you’re legitimately friends with someone, it’s not a “zone” you move in and out of it. You’re truly present for the other person; you want what is best for them, and you want them to be happy… even if those things don’t align with what you want. You also want those same things for yourself, which means you support healthy boundaries for the friendship as a whole.
This means you can have friends you’re attracted to, or interested in, and respect the fact that it may never turn romantic. You can also be clear about the fact that you’re not attracted to someone, and only want to be friends, without the friendship self-imploding.
We’ve all been there, either as the “friend zone” or the “friend zone”. Okay, those are not actual words, but you get the picture. This might have happened while he/she was talking to you and getting all the coziness and telling you they might be secretly liking someone and one-day bam! Dude! I like you but, I was talking about someone else. It’s better if we stay friends. I think we should stay friends, in that way we can be together, like forever!
Instances like this happen in everybody’s life. They can be from two scenarios. One by an ex or second by someone‘s ex who is your present ex. You can clearly understand what might have happened. What goes around comes around (yep karma is a “you know what”. So, true).
The phrase “friend zone” is somehow considered sexist. Let’s get that cleared first. Of course, women get friend-zoned. When you are like- ‘Okay, this time it’s gonna work’ and the very next moment something god knows will happen!! Yes! Girls get friend-zoned...a lot!! It’s pretty weird for others but we know how casual this has become. It’s the typical “You’re the marrying type” cliché. He’ll make it sound like the worst kind of contagion — that if a man got too close, he might catch it and it would fester, grow, and then burst out of his chest.
Putting someone in that zone is about their feelings and their well-being, as it is about yours; you don’t want to lead someone on or give them hope when you know there isn’t any hope for a relationship down the road. While doing this, make sure you keep this in mind; recognizing that the friendzone is a safe space for you and the person in it will help you keep kindness and compassion in your speech and behavior.
Did you know that the “friend zone” has different levels? Here are a few “zones” people put someone crushing on them into.
Childhood Zone
“You and I grew up together. We can’t risk that by dating!”
- Best Friend Zone
“You are the only one with whom I don’t need to flirt because you are not like other girls/guys” - Ultimate Best Friend Zone
“I am gonna propose to my childhood crush today! Wish me luck!!” (Yep this is the worst scenario of being in the “zone”) - Friend who gets you a Girlfriend/Boyfriend Zone
“From today, you will search for a girlfriend/boyfriend for me” (Yeah good luck with that)
5. Sister Zone
“You’re like my unborn sister”.(Ahem!)
