I've sort of come to the realisation, and conclusion, that while you may like someone there is no guarantee they will like you back. Liking someone doesn't mean that there's this invisible connection, a force that makes them feel the same way. While it would be grand for that to be so, it isn't always the way.

After a similar situation happening to me, it's just hit me. I'm on the opposite end of it. I do not care for someone like they care for me.

So, quite negatively, I have began to think - what if the person I care for doesn't care for me?
