Okay. A few things:
- Some crushes you can act on, some you can't. Know which is which and try to be realistic about it.
- Having a crush you can't act on with like... a teacher or whatever is perfectly fine. There's nothing unhealthy or weird about it. Enjoy the fantasy of it, but try not to let it get consuming.
- When you crush you're putting someone on a pedestal. Everyone is flawed and insecure and fucked up and weird and it's a good thing to find out -how- your crush is crazy (remember, everyone is crazy) because it will humanize the person more.
- If it's bothering you or you're fixating too much, try some forcible distractions. Focus your attentions elsewhere and let the person fade into the background.

@CountScrofula Yeah and I know it will pass but for now it seems it will be here for a while, at least for a year and a half. So I guess I’ll just hide it for that time till it passes.

@ImRileyTheDog feel them out and see if the crush could possibly be reciprocated. Don't straight out ask because that gives it away be sneaky about it

@ImRileyTheDog Makes perfect sense. As long as it doesn't bum you out, a crush can be a cool thing that energizes you.

@ImRileyTheDog Enjoy it, even if you can't move on it
