so a while back I had this crush on this girl and didn't know how to approach her but manage to do so on halloween. Weeks later I started to see manifestation and spell videos, most of them of love, i didn't look them up but i guess the algorithm brougth them to me after i watched a few.
I always been curious about magick but only scraped the surface, and barely so, for information.
This video in particular caught my attention, it was a woman saying this "easy" form of manifestation would get you love and you can imagine basically her following words, the spell goes like this: you write on a piece of paper with a red pen "name of the person will fall in love with me" or so equivalents, 3 times, then a positive outcome of the relationship, in my case I wrote: "we will have a healthy and great relationship" again three times and at the end "so mote it be" again three times. Then you fold it up and place it under your pillow that night.
Another thing that i remember very well was that she mentioned there was going to be a special full moon on that week and it would be best if the practioner did it then since it could be more powerful.
So I did it, but it did not work. We talked sometimes but never were close, I always felt like she didn't listen to me but since i had a crush on her I always felt she was really nice. She needed people for some events so she only reach out to me when she needed me for that but other than that we would never hangout. Sometimes I told her I couldn't go but she would find a way to convince me. One time I even have like an anxiety attack and she did't know how to act, i didn't expect her to do anything either way. I never felt like I should be open with her but i wanted to so I fell back and forth between being completely honest or barely there because she wouldn't care anyways.
Now we stopped talking, mostly because I stopped talking to her but I still feel like I should've handled things differently and she probably thinks i'm really weird.
I'm sorry this is too long I wasn't planning on writing that much but maybe context it's important.
My question is: since I never did any sort of thing like this and haven't practice protection stuff, that my intention misfired? or I'm such an overthinker I'm trying to make sense of everything?
Ps: I did that manifestation thing on 2023 mind you.
Ps2: I started to inform myself on witchcraft and it's different types, different practices and things i'm curious about but I haven't done anything yet and i'm not sure if I ever will though I'm really curious and enjoy learning about it, but also can't practice because my enviroment isn't safe to do so.
