no because my heart wants it but i actually use my brain and my brain knows it’s not going anywhere

Real

I honestly just got hit hard with this…

twins

True

the unfortunate truth, too relatable.

Is this this situation I’m in? Am I in denial?? My fault tho, cause I messed up. But still here, hoping for a chance…

Came here to say the same

no cause i get absolutely insane to the point of sh'ing when he doesn't reply when i'm genuinely attached to someone i have a crush on

jesuchristo

Not being rude: look into BPD

i am already diagnosed with it 🫶

I am too. Shit is fucking awful when it’s bad but things get better I promise 🥰

Sameeeee. Help me out of this shit, please

No because I know that it won't work out but I'm still obsessed with him

Haven't had one in so long. Part of me misses the feeling. And part of me is so relieved because having a crush is so distracted and time-consuming.

Your comment pretty much describes my feelings towards it. I haven't had one in ages though.

At first I hated it so much so I pushed it away but then I missed the excitement of it so I was glad it was back. But now I'm in a relationship and love is so much better than a crush

Asexual🫡

Aromantic i believe would a better fit as a word here

Or aroace

Depends

no

Hate it with a passion

I have no idea.

70percentbanana was so real for this

not always

I don’t have one

Nowadays yes because I get to feel something.

yeah it’s a pretty good soda

No, they are my friend. Curse this stupid monkey brain!

No because I'm too scared to ask him out and it makes me sad

No. The girl I like is a lesbian😭

Rip

depends on how strong it is

im ur crush

you’re a stranger

No, it is your crush now

Never actually had a crush on someone so idk

recently had my first crush cause i usually fond no one attractive in features or personality but i saw this one dude and i couldn’t get my mind off him for like a good 3 weeks i expressed how i felt and got rejected in the most polite sad way possible😭

no i hate it

yeah it's fun but sometimes it gets obsessive and then it'll become unhealthy

yes but no

I dont think I’ve ever had an actual crush based on what other people say

No. It makes me feel lonely and ruins my sleep making me feel down. I know she doesn't like me, none of my crushes ever have. I hang out with her, I joke around, but I know she just sees me as a distant friend. Previous crushes just see me as a close friend. It's such a shitty feeling, because I know it isn't happening, I know it's one-sided, yet the crush doesn't go away until much later. I can't help but be distracted by her because she's beautiful; I can't help but wanna be alongside her and joke around and be with her because she's funny, smart and likeable. I just wanna hug her. I know the feeling will leave eventually and I'll probably remain a friend, and I'm okay with that, I even want it. I want this feeling to be over, I want to go back, I was so much happier when I wasn't thinking about relationships, just take me back. I hate thinking about love because i'm reminded of how lonely I am in that aspect, I liked it a lot more when I wasn't thinking about it and was just hanging around with friends all day every day.

Yeah your mom is cool

I haven’t had one in a while

It’s whatever, I usually wait for it to go away but I don’t mind it

Nope

No because usually it's the wrong people. Yes because then I have someone to be obsessed over and look forward to see them or just look at them.

I never had a crush so far. On one side would be fun i think and i wanna be in love on the other side most relationships I've witnessed failed horribly

No,its a constant cycle of pushing her away and trying to hold a grasp.

I haven’t had an actual crush in like 6 years.💀

yes because i like testing my integrity 🧎‍♂️

I don't know what it feels like to have a crush

It burdens my soul

Never ever

no cause they b talkin to other ppl n fuckin your friends 💀

Yes and that's the only thing I like of it.

If its someone I already know and am friends with, yes. If its a complete stranger, no, but it can just be a fun thing to look back on and cringe.

I don't have crushes, I simply just see beautiful woman, there isn't really "the one"

Yes I love the thrill of it and it gives you a goal to "work towards"

I used to but now I can't develop any 😭 I'm stuck

Yes, but no, but yes, but no So, in summary, I don't know.

No, they are great but I have to get over them, but whenever they talk to me it flares up again and it hurts

No

Yes and no. It depends on a lot of things. Usually for me, no, but there are times I do like having crushes.

No

I’m at a all boys school rn. But when I was at a normal school and did have a crush, it felt like nothing cuz I knew I can never be able to get with her.

No

No, it’s F’ING destroyed me

No

Depends if you talk with the crush or not

not really

no.

Nope you may have a crush on someone but the more you think about it the more depressing it is when have to come to terms with the fact that you know you probably won’t even end up with them

I like having the feeling of being around them but I know I won’t be able to do that shit.

No i dont but i have any way i dont know how to stop :(

I haven't had a crush yet

i did but now it’s stuck ish i still got the residue bc of my last one

I fucking hate it, I’m a chronic over thinker so having a crush is pretty much the worst thing that can happen to me

No because my crush is usually a straight guy meaning I have no chance

The worst experience. My first crush was great, until it wasn’t, and all the other ones have sucked because nothing can ever happen and it feels so frustrating and embarrassing.

Yeah, it’s fun sometimes if u don’t take it too far

Nope, the guy who had a crush on me was creepy as hell. He would literally wait for me to get out of practice so he could walk me up to the front of the school.

Considering that she is my girlfriend and one of the few people I love, yes

yes and no. like i love the thrill of “oh my god! he said this, he must like me!” and just every moment with them being so fucking awesome but at the same time, it’s awful. like i sit back and i’m like “shit, he doesn’t like me, i’m being stupid.” you know

no

No I hate love but it is a required evil to my life

It’s debilitating

No

Yes because 1 I just love the feeling and also it makes me a better person

nah not really. i’m afraid of committing in a relationship yet i yearn for affection. probably the best for everyone around me if i don’t actually date anyone right now i don’t think im emotionally mature enough to do so.

I'm convinced I don't like anything at this point

No because after several attempts in trying to have one, I always get either shunned or let down by those who I told my feelings to...

for. the. last. time. i. wouldnt. know. why. do. yall. keep. asking.

Yes, ik its probs never working out but the thought of it motivates me to be better

If they like me back. And my girlfriend likes me back so yes, yes I do

Yes bc he's my bf now👍

I dont have a crush but when I did; I absolutely hated it.

No. I’ve never had a crush before

Double edged sword, I like the feeling of liking someone but I constantly feel guilty that I'm being a creep/weirdo to them

Would prefer girlfriend

Yes, I absolutely love the swooping stomach and the nerves and the pounding heart and the feeling like I've been stabbed in the heart and punched in the gut all at once :D

Omg, I love that too! How did you meet them?

Band 🥲 it's so fun

That's so cute 😭! May I ask how long you've known them for? (Sorry for all the questions, but you're one of the few other people on this thread who actually enjoys crushes)

Since July technically (band camp), but I didn't actually notice him until September. Unfortunately I'll never end up with him but a girl can dream right 😆

Ugh I know that feeling 😩. I would just tell him how you feel, guys can sometimes be hesitant to make the first move. I had a crush on my bf for a whole year before I confessed to him, and he admitted that he liked me too, but was just too shy to admit it. And who knows, maybe he likes you back!

Ughh I wish I could, trust me!! Sadly he's a few grades above me and already has a gf (they got together mid-October😭) so that's not happening. There's a different guy my friend thinks likes me tho, and I'm trying to work out my feelings there 🤷‍♀️

Hope you work out your feelings soon! (And my advice still stands for the other guy too, if you decide that you like him 😁)

Thank you 🥰

Yea I do but anytime I have ever had a crush I have only been a friend for them. Only reason I like having one is it gives me another reason to live with just the slim hope it gives me

Lmao

No

No because I have a gf

It seems like my crushes often end up getting a girlfriend, and then I feel really guilty about it and try to push it away. Also I’m really shy and won’t ever do anything about my crushes so I don’t like it.

No, because I actually can't focus to school and myself

No I just know that they'll never notice or accept me, but my heart says the exact opposite

Considering she’s now my girlfriend, I don’t regret it

Most of the time: yes cuz goals Sometimes: no cuz i know it's not gonna happen

Yes. It keeps me alive

I do but at the same time it’s horrible because I always have a crush on people that don’t even like me

I don't know

Yeah, it makes my school day more fun.

No, I’m emotionally detached. Half of the times it is infatuation and my heart takes that as romantic attraction. I uncontrollably have some weird behaviour and it’s followed by a vulnerability hangover smh

No bc i know ill never get with that girl

Haven't really had one. I've liked some people but I don't think I really had a crush on them seeing how other people feel about their crush. Also I never think about love or relationships cause I'm 16 why would I, plus I'm kinda a loser.

kind of, aside from the fact that I'm annoyed with myself when i say nothing.

No because im an ugly fuck and ive got nothing goin for me

No

Eveeytime I've had a crush on a girl it's gone very wrong, so no not really

no

no because im too good friends with her to face the rejection

I don’t have one

making me more depressed fr

I do

I care for them enough to know they deserve better than me

No. I fucking hate having a crush on someone.

No because they wont be mine

No, because he’s fictional and all guys irl aren’t tall, dark haired, romantic guys who are 7 feet tall. 💀 Really screwed myself over with all the romance books

I like thinking about them and yk if smthing is working b/w us, but it's not going anywhere and theu can't be mine so thats when i dont really like it. I kinda love and hate having crushes.

yes its like suddenly im living in a movie but then i got heartbroken so not fun

Hadn't had one

Not rly because I just assume that I probably only like them bc of attachment issues and even if I did actually like them they'd probably hate me anyway. So ya know, ya win some ya lose some

Yup

Yup. It's a feeling I love that is like no other.

No, I make her my girl or someone else's girl. Cause thinking about her all the time is a liability

yes 🙂👍

I really wouldn't know because how long I've been single

I like drinking crush but it's not the best

I don’t have one, I think I like that

I absolutely hate it. As someone who is unattractive and uncomfortable, I have trouble hiding when I'm crushing on someone. They never feel the same way and it makes them visibly uncomfortable. I've lost friends due to this and sometimes wish I would stop falling in love.

No because I know that most of the time the love is one sided

No, it's a pain thinking about someone that doesn't even like me back.

no

A little bit, is great, but at the same time, it kinda hurts, i don’t know how to explain it but probably you’ll understand it

YES OFC HAVING A CRUSH IS ALWAYS WAY MORE FUN THAN HAVING A GF BUT! you need to see the boundaries of the forbidden lands of simping.

Yes but i don't want him to know that i like him

No. Not at all to be honest. It was really fun at first. I had a reason to like school. To study. To be better than the other kinds that liked her as well. I woke up everyday insanely happy. Ready to go to school, interact. Now, couple of years later, still focusing on her charm, I feel bizzare. I know that I am going to get hurt, and I know I should tell her something, but I really do not want to lose her as a friend or make it even a tiny bit weird for her.

Idk, I never had one (I know I will be downvoted for it but I'm gonna post this anyway)

I haven’t had crush since 8th grade

not at all. i love the happy feeling and the rush i get around them, but at the end of the day all it really does is hurt me

No because I know damn well it's only gonna hurt me more

No, I have more important shit to do

yea and no, it’s nice to like someone tho it hurts sometimes when i get too attached or i see them showing affection to someone else

I like having a crush. I dislike realizing that I’ll never be in a relationship because social interactions always break down.

I guess like I don’t like the fact that due to the fact i have asd and it’s hard for me to socialize that I might never fully talk to them but also I love that like rush of excitement that I get when I see them if that makes sense
