Half joking, but my point is serious: you need to find a way to turn an unrequited relationship into something positive, and that's not always just making nice and wishing them the best. I'm not talking about emotional revenge on the other person; I'm talking about something that's emotionally going to help you feel a sense of closure. Personally, I think it's completely healthy and normal to use such a spurning as a motivator for self-improvement, whether it's "next time I meet someone, I'm going to be an even better person," or whether it's "so-and-so didn't see the potential in me, but I'll prove them wrong."
