Fact : In reality, according to psychologists, a typical crush usually lasts for four months. If the feeling persists, what you feel is what we like to call, “being in love.

Tbh, the awkwardness slowly fade away when you realize there's actually a mutual understanding, which is quite rare in my opinion

being aromantic but also having a crush is the weirdest thing to experience. You know you have a crush on them but you don't feel any awkwardness around them at all, you talk to them like normal friends. Sometimes even forgetting the other is your crush. But when they leave and you're alone, all the thoughts come back to you and you feel yourself bursting with happiness.
There are also times when you just feel like you don't want to date anyone and daydreaming about being with your crush is absolutely weird and abnormal. It's such an interesting duality to experience.

After watching the full video I realized that I never have a crush on someone!




Things I do and tell my self I have a crush:
1) Totally ignore them.
2) Act like they don't exist.
3) Daydream about them.
4) Avoid talking to them.
5) Try my best not to be near my crush.😓
