What's something that people need to stop romanticising?

Play me

Ugh where to begin?

1- Rain:

Personally, I hate random rainy days, they're sad and gloomy and make me feel like shit. But what I hate more is how we made rain such a romantic thing. Like in movies, if the main leads confessed their feelings while it was raining, or when some random dude starts dancing with his arms open to feel every drop in his body. 

Bullshit, I actually had such a horrible experience with a friend of mine, it was raining and the weather was so cold, so we started to dance and stuff and we ended ended up catching such a bad flu. I hate that day.

2- Stalking:

I had to mention this one, and I blame it on every bloody rom-com I have seen in my life. Like the guy sees a girl and he likes her, let's say love at first sight shit, and out of nowhere he starts following her, showing up at her work, the coffee shop she usually goes to and other  places to see her. And that's not romantic, that's so fucking weird like it's so uncomfortable and such a huge red flag. And it goes both ways, because that's a trait of a serial killer .

And don't get me started on the social media stalking because it's particularly the same thing, and frankly I wish I can remove all of my social media accounts and live my life normally

3- The Bare minimum:

You should never let people treat you like shit, and if they do cut them off. You disrespect yourself when you beg someone for the bare minimum things like love, attention, affection, support, reciprocation... You deserve much better acknowledge that and embrace it.

Here's an  advice, I personally believe in the if they want to, they would. Always remember that, remember that if someone loves you there will be no excuses. No if's or but's, no second, third or fourth excuses, no maybes and no constant apologies at all.

4- Compliments: 

Just because seomone compliments you, it doesn't mean that they are flirting with you. We have got to stop romantocising this stuff, it's humiliting at this point.

Just because I find some guy attractive doesn't mean that I like him He's just appealing to my eyes, not my heart or mind. It's realy not that deep, I just stated a fact.

And vis versa, if someone compliments me I take it as it is, smile and say "Thank you". Thats it.
