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

Oops you're the only one who feels the need to be

Why are you still replying to me huh? I thought you said you're not "nearly as bothered by it as I am?"

And yet here you are, determined to argue against my thoughts about the overdone confession scene, adding absolutely nothing into the conversation except turning it into some sort of personal fight for you by hurling insults at my way.

I already made my point several replies ago, if you feel like responding to that we can go back to "adding to the conversation"

Meanwhile, I think you're seriously overvaluing the amount of effort it takes to respond to your nonsense lol

11 seconds, I timed it for you

I'm sorry, what was your point again? Because as I recall, you just reiterated what I already acknowledged in my original post

Awww well thank you for that 11 seconds you had to spend to check what I have to say, type up a response, and timing it even though you're not "nearly as bothered by it as I am and not nearly as attached as I am" πŸ₯Ή

It’s called closure. Brains are weird things. Like. Even if you know the answer, your brain won’t let it go unless you actually say it. It will eat at you and eat at you and several years later you will still wonder. And. Like. For this instance here. I think it might help Yamada a little bit. You see. All the other girls that liked him seemed to only like him for his looks and didn’t really get to know him. This shows him that more than one girl can actually look past his good looks and admire his personality. Like yeah. It did give way to an awkward moment and some drama. But it did good for both of the characters. Also. It takes something that could have caused more trouble for their friendship by keeping that secret between them. Something like that could explode down the line with more irrational anger and drama, or it could cause an awkward rift between them. With the closure it gives both characters either a chance to start again as just friends or to drift apart on peaceful terms. Or. That’s how I see it anyway. Also. In a story perspective. If she didn’t confess at that point, this would have become a story loose end that the creator would have had to do something with in the future. But closing it here shows great growth in Yamada’s character and shows that he now can kindly give a rejection instead of earlier when he was cold to every girl that confessed. So. On top of a human reason for this scene, it also has a plot and character growth purpose for the story in general.

I don't know why you're acting like 11 seconds is such a big pain for anyone 🀣

Besides, 11 seconds is a tiny price to pay in exchange for literal days of you having a meltdown

Keep responding and I'll do the same. We can go on forever 🧑

At this point I'm convinced that you just don't want to lose this pissing contest that you started so I'm just going to leave this here every time you reply until you realize that you are indeed stupidly wasting your time for something that you are "not nearly as bothered by" and "not nearly as attached"
