Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

You need to talk to your crush if you are not. Find out why you can't stop thinking about your crush, it could be because you want to tell him something, maybe you are not expressing your emotions. Remember it is not good to always be thinking about someone because it detracts you from thinking about other important things.

Why try to stop ? Keep thinking ! Let the emotions think themselves out ! Why bother stopping that which you cannot stop

Thinking about a person who you get attracted to is natural but if its way too much it can interfere with your attention and concentration. So you could probably take up some activities which are difficult and require full concentration and mental functioning. For eg: A math game like Sudoku. Try stick to it and complete it. It would take time in getting used to it so don't give up easily. Good luck bud! Ps. Use your will! :)

Well you can either tell your crush how you feel or do tell a friend. You could slowly become their mate or just try and talk to them and see what happens

i think you should tell him/her how you feel. I never told any of my crushes that i'm in love with them, and that isn't good, you know? When they don't feel the same about you, you can try to get over them. But when you don't tell them, you never know.

Ask to meet with your crush, and tell him/her about how you really feel. Whatever the result is, you will grow up to be more mature as a person.

Make yourself realize that this thinking will not take you anywhere.. rather use this time to make yourself more competent so that one day, your crush would bow down to ask for your hand!

Take action! If he/she doesn't know then go for it. Approach them first casually and start to create chances to get to know them. It doesn't have to be a one-on-one date you're too nervous, you can hang out with them in group activities too. If for any reason, you want to get over your crush, try to stay away from them, and maybe even unfollow them on social media for now, and your feelings will go away by themselves. Don't stalk your crush in whatever cases -- it's creepy!

It's a good thing if that keeps you moving forward and bad if it held you back. You can't do anything about it. It's human nature to know someone and fell in love in the process. Just keep yourself occupied. :)

You have to engage your self in some useful work to get over him or you can consult a doctor for this

You should talk to him, if you want to know him better and get him. If you 2 had an unpleasant past and you are trying to stop thinking about him, you should try some activities like hanging out with friends, doing sports, reading, and trying to meet new people and have fun!!

Message him/her. Try and make a conversation. Who knows you could be something more with that person than just an admirer. ^_^

I understand how you feel, always thinking about that "special someone." If you don't like thinking about him, listen to knew music, meet new friends, and focus on things so important that you forget about your crush. But if you enjoy thinking about him/her, just stay thinking of your "Certain Someone."

Having a crush is torture, but if they're actually available, why not just tell them how you feel? Maybe he/she will like you back.

You are thinking about ur crush because you want to think about him/her . If u do not want to think about them , then don't think about him/her . It is just a thought away ..

I believe that you should confront your crush and explain your feelings towards them. I am sure that they will understand and will give you an honest answer

It is perfectly natural. Have you tried talking to your crush? It could be a good start to a great friendship.

I think you should go for it! Maybe ask for their number and ask him or her on a date! I asked my boyfriend on our first date before he even knew my name (;

First, find out if they're single. If they are, then just invite them to events and other outings, whether with other people or by yourself. You can start a friendship, and maybe that friendship can develop into more. Ask them how they feels about you. If they feels the same way, then go for it. Ask them on a date.

I know it can be hard to have feelings for someone else and they don't know about it. While you hold the answers to what you can do about it. How about going for a walk?

Crushes are a normal part of life, make sure to keep yourself as busy as possible, focus on goals that you want to complete within the next week/month and put time into completing them to your best ability. Take time for yourself, stretch for 5 minutes, read a new book, do something just for you.

You should really do what is good to you're hear and tell him or her how you feel. If you just hold it in, they will find someone else and you will become angry
