A whitepaper exploring the philosophy and psychology behind the conundrum dealing an the empathizable real scenario.

Question

  1. There be X,
  2. There be Y,
  3. Mr. Srinagar Sanskrati Swaati Ganj1 is pursued by X,
  4. Mr. Sanskrati prefers the company of Y.

How may Mr. Sanskrati gain Y without X?

The tale, as related by Mr. Sanskrati, is such that he became friends with X. As is wont to happen, X started to grow closer to our man. It was at some point during this that Y was introduced as a "best friend" of X. Here, Mr. Sanskrati was enamoured by the beauty of Y and endeavoured to become better friends.

Mr. Sanskrati was enamoured by the beauty of Y and endeavoured to become better friends.

During this time, Mr. Sanskrati proceeded to discuss his situation with ANY AND ALL. From a witness, who agreed to speak on condition that their anonymity be preserved, we know that a common way of it was such:

"Mr. Sanskrati would ask his target: 'have I told you the story of X and Y?'. When the target would reply in the negative, Mr. Sanskrati would proceed to paint the tale starting from that he became friends with a person hereforth he referred to as 'X'. How he had then been introduced to Y and had realised she was the one he wanted to pursue.

Points to note are that Mr. Sanskrati never let others know the true identities of X and Y and, at the most, would show pictures to those who pestered the most to lend an element of "truthyness". Psycologically, this would suggest that Mr. Sanskrati was "proud" of his position and he took pride in letting others know of his situation.

Mr. Sanskrati never let others know the true identities of X and Y and, at the most, would show pictures to those who pestered the most to lend an element of "truthyness".

At some point, Mr. Sanskrati engaged a friend, Mr. Shajahat Mustafa Mirchi Burj Ramapan2 in some conversation related to the parties: X and Y. He informed the latter that Y had started to show feeling for his person.
Mr. Mirchi hypothesised possible reasons:

Entrapment Hypotheses

Hypothesis 01

Maybe she (Y) was attracted to your (Sanskrati) attempts at aloofness to feign disinterest thereby triggering her jealousy factor to vie for your (Sanskrati) primary attention over her friends.

Hypothesis 02

... maybe it was late night conversations wherein she (Y) poured out her heart to you (Sanskrati) and you reciprocated by selectively sharing life experiences and thoughts on matters such as religion, politics and friendship thereby instilling in her a belief that you are rock solid in your opinions and therefore able to hold your own which resulted in her realizing that there's something special?

Hypothesis 2 having been established as the reason thereof, Mr. Mirchi then attempted to brainstorm as to why, so far, Mr. Sanskrati had not succeeded in "winning over" Y whilst simultaneously having "removed" X from the equation:

Miscommunicated Methodology Hypotheses

Hypothesis 01

... I (Mirchi) can hypothesize that the reason you (Sanskrati) have not seen tremendous success rn (right now) in this venture is partly due to the reason that we are social animals and as outlined by Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" in 1943, self-actualization is the top most item which is just above Esteem and esteem may be gained by realizing that one is in high demand, in a sense.

This esteem would then make one reluctant to be too effective in carrying out any such actions which could reduce said level of success in esteem. Verily, success would result in Self-Actualization through achievement of the goal, but it would be at the cost of losing out on the attention of the others.

Hypothesis 02

... perhaps the hypothesis is that attempts have been made to succeed in the venture by slowly phasing out the unwanted parties through certain aloofness and well-placed remarks, cajoling and emotional blackmail. However, the issue rising therein that these attempts, though they are successful in bringing in close the wanted party, have the side effect of actually ALSO keeping the other party interested because of the very attempts to keep them away. Or alternatively put: gurls lyke bad boys[.]

Having ensured that Mr. Mirchi had exhausted his brain power, Mr. Sanskrati, THEN revealed that the reality was simply such: he did not care.

Here, dear readers, we now learn that the thinking of Mr. Sanskrati is much more deep and established and certainly oughtn't to be taken at face value. The paper will theorize that Mr. Sanskrati is enjoying his time entangled in this scenario. We can also know, for a fact, that Mr. Mirchi is a great person; some would argue he is irreplacable. Please stay tuned as will attempt to, scientifically, further carry out research to lend this "whitepaper" justice.
