Chanakya Niti: Why a Man Can Miss You and Still Not Love You

Chanakya literally said "there is no friendship without self-interest, this is a bitter truth" and he wrote this in 300 BC, before situationships, before breadcrumbing, before "we're just talking," and somehow he still managed to describe your situationship more accurately than your therapist. The man who ignored you for three…
