One of my pet peeves in romance animes is the rival love interest confessing their feelings even though they KNOW that they're going to be rejected. It's fine if they can't gauge how the person feels about them and want to try their hand at confessing to see if their feelings are mutual. But if you know that the person doesn't like you and you're still going to confess just for the sake of confessing and getting rejected, what even is the point of that? Is it just so you can relieve yourself of these emotions? Is this really worth making things awkward between you two?

Sometimes it's better to get rid off these feelings rather than having the regret of not being able to tell early & keep waiting
Once it really starts bugging you, you won't be able to get free of these feelings until unless you get a proper answer for it that's why even if you get rejected, just being able to tell how you felt for a person and getting an answer is worth it if you genuinely had feelings for a particular person

It's a realistic situation and feeling that's hard to explain, and I guess difficult to understand unless you've experienced it firsthand. It's never easy to watch whether you've experienced it or not, but for different reasons. As someone who has experienced it before, I did not enjoy the scene but I appreciated it being there

Let's take a moment to appreciate how fucking dense it is to bring this up when she literally SAYS in the process of confessing that it's a huge relief and a weight off her shoulders...

Let's take a moment to appreciate how you pointed this out even though I ALREADY acknowledged this in my post.

Confessing for the sake of taking weight off your shoulders is always the same reasoning used in situations like this. It's getting a bit tiresome.

Again, they already KNOW that they have no chance, so couldn't they just try to reflect on that realization without saying anything and messing up the relationship they have? Why cause this unnesecesary conflict? Most of the times, the only purpose of these scenes is to spur the protagonist to realize their feels to the MAIN love interest

What's even worse are situations where they confess even though they know the person already likes someone or is in a relationship already. Like gurl, silence is golden

Yea, I think they took a lot of time from the episode in the restaurant scene.

Okay, that might work for you, congratulations on being able to bottle up your feelings, but to imply yours is the best/only way to deal is a very selfish perspective and suggests you have very minimal-to-no personal experience in the matter.

Okay fine then have fun watching all these rival characters confess their feelings only to give out the same reasoning over and over again and get rejected like they thought would be. A completely necessary scene!

"Awww, they confessed their heart out and got rejected even though they already knew that was going to happen but they still did it anyway to relieve them of their emotions like all of the hundreds of rival love interests reasoned before. This makes me elicit some sort of emphatic feelings for them even though that scene has been overdone by now and it would be a nice change of pace if they just moved on from their love silently"

which is why love is an illness, it makes u stupid and is responsible for making irrational decisions. its cure differs to individuals, hopefully she recovers by being rejected

Best way to describe it is you miss all the skits you don't take. I feel like it better to air your feelings out and if they are not reciprocated then you can still be friends or move on.

I will - see, I'm not nearly as bothered by it as you are. I'm also not nearly as attached to any of it as you appear to be. It's very easy to tell when a show's going to walk this path. I figured from the end of the 1st or 2nd episode this is how it'd be. Feel free to leave it a review and move on.

Oh I think you are VERY attached considering you're still here defending that pointless scene
