have the baggage of exs without ever actually being in a relationship.

Why the fuck would you hang out with anyone you have "the baggage of exs" with at all? I would not even hang out with a friend that I had years of baggage and stress from. Another person, doesn't even have to be a friend.

Love is powerful but you can't get addicted to the One True Fantasy. That Fantasy where the guy wants the girl to wake up and realize that he was the right guy all along.

The whole reason this situation is fucked beyond repaid is that you are stubborn and refuse to accept the truth. Not just your horrible dynamic with this person but even to other people. All of your answers boil down to "you're right, but" or "yeah true, but" and you go back to being completely stuck in your own loop.

Try this out. When someone gives you a piece of advice that fits the context of what's going on, and could be true, just type "Yeah, that's true" and DONT add anything else onto it.

That itch you have to write more is exactly why you can't move on.

She's keeping you around as a backup while she looks for the right person. But not a real backup, just an emotional one, of "ok at least 1 guy is obsessed with me, I can find one I actually like". And the longer you wait, the more desperate you are to her.
