Big Emotions

Big Emotions

Hi all,

It's JPEG1998 again.

I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed by the fact that I am experiencing some pretty BIG EMOTIONS surrounding a particular individual that I have taken a serious liking towards. Put simply, I have a crush on them. I first came across them* last year (I refuse to share their pronouns on here in fear of being discovered by them or someone they know. All you need to know is that I personally am heterosexual). I have seen them on a number of occasions and we have made some small talk with one another, despite not really knowing each other that well. I think they're just being polite though, and that they do not feel the same ay towards me. But, I found them on social media and they don't appear to be in a relationship, judging by the photos that I have seen. I don't condone stalking so I have made a pledge to myself and my friends that I will not stalk them on social media again. I think this person in particular sexy and I want to go out on a date with them. The only problem I have is that I have an extreme fear of being rejected by them. They've looked at me once and then looked away when I caught them.

I'm sorry. I don't really know what else to comment on here. Some advice would be highly appreciated!

@JPEG1998 it can definitely hurt, but no hurt lasts forever. I'm with tyme - focus on the now, on what you can control, and on what brings you joy. Grieve as needed, then focus on moving forward. You got this 😊

@JPEG1998 from Max33

The person you like knows by now that you have noticed them. If they want to know you or take it further then they will definitely not ignore you. The healthiest thing to do is focus on you studies and feel good about who you are. Take a break from obsession about someone else.. Work instead on making your own life better. Get involved in some activities that you enjoy or haven't tried before that you think look interesting. Let people come to you instead of chasing after them. Obsessing will only make you unhappy. Make yourself happy first. Love yourself more.

@Max33, Thank You very much for contributing to the conversation. I have been undergoing self care by showering, sleeping, taking my medication, and continuing with my volunteering roles.
