Ever been in the situation where you simply want to be just friends with someone who has confessed his/her affections to you? That person is officially going into the much-dreaded friend zone. But wait a second! What’s so terrible about being friend zoned?
“I like you too, but let’s just be friends.”
Unrequited love can be heart-breaking and we can all do away with the pain, but it is a necessity for self-growth. The same applies to the Friend Zone. It may not be as bad as you think, and here’s why:
Somebody to count on

Frustrations and disappointment go hand in hand in the Friend Zone until one realises that friendship is the foundation of a solid relationship. Being friends with someone you genuinely like is not such a bad thing after all. At least you know there’d always be a friend that you can count on.
“No relationship can stand the test of time without the foundations of a strong friendship”, said love and relationships author Daniel Jones.

A passage to self-discovery
Getting rejected can be tough, regardless of one’s gender or age. However, there are always two sides to a coin, and that applies to the friend zone too. The wise words of German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, echoed: “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.” Learning to deal with your disappointment and accepting the situation denotes your passage to self-discovery and growth. As you accept this friendship, you would gain a greater understanding at matters, especially with fresh perspectives from your ex-potential love interest.
No awkwardness

When you are interested in someone and wants the other party to reciprocate your feelings, you’d most likely crack your brains to impress him/her. Such pressure is rare in a friendship where friends simply enjoy each other’s company without expectations. You can be yourself. No sweat.
