Crush :(
So I have had this crush for a while now and it shows no signs of ever going away. I even confessed to my crush but even when he replied that he didn't have feelings for anyone yet I grew to like him even more. We are friends but it doesn't change what I feel inside of me. I know I am still quite young but I don't know whether to try and get over him or not. And what's worse is every time I haven't talked to him for a while it makes me wonder if he hates me or if I stuffed up our friendship which I know is overthinking but I can't help thinking it. What should I do or should I just do nothing?

Hi. Crushes can be so hard especially when they are not reciprocated. Im sorry about that. Im not sure there is much you can do other than to let the feelings come and go and pass on thier own. Taking some space away from your friend/crush would be helpful but some people are not willing to do that. Be mindful of your thoughts and try not to engage them when you know they are false. When you know you are thinking things that are not true, simply remind yourself that your thought is not valid. This will take a lot of awareness at first but will get easier with time. As you replace your incorrect thoughts for truths they will become easier to manage.

what if i don't want to get over him though? i do but i don't which makes it even more complicated for me :(
@imperialSnake22 crushes are very hard especially if you aren't sure how the other person is feeling,
Maybe try having a break from your thoughts, do a hobby, something you really enjoy it may just take your mind of your thoughts, for a little while atleast. Also remember, these thoughts are normal.

I know how it feels when crushes just refuse to leave your mind. Even if it takes some time, I think eventually you will get over him. Meanwhile, maybe you could try distracting yourself, keeping yourself busy, doing stuff you are totally involved in so that you have less time to think about him?
