Does someone have some tips? Like I don't know but my general anxiety has been extremely high regarding my crush. My HOCD has been low but my GAD is so high right now. I feel bad, dizzy and I feel like vomiting :(.

Im not anxious about being attracted to him (I actually enjoy it a lot) but the thing is he gives me this look every time I'm in his field of view which makes me anxious. Him and I don't talk but he looks at me a lot. I feel like he doesn't like me and I should really stop being so into him, like I have these "what if?" questions and everything is going through the roof.

I also have this weird feeling that he thinks I'm gay because of my mannerisms though I'm not. It makes my HOCD kind of bad but for now I'm ok.

@chamomile I think you might just be nervous because you have a crush and you're nervous about what he thinks about you. But I'm assuming. It may also be because your ocd is playing tricks on you. If you enjoy being attracted to him it's a positive sign not a negative one

@notfortalk I hope so. I'm always nervous and anxious. People have been noticing my mental disorders more and have grew suspicious of me

@chamomile Hes just never out of my head and I feel bad that I'm falling for someone who shows those "signs", but doesn't like me at all.

@chamomile Maybe it's just your head telling you he doesn't like you, you might as well just interpret his mannerisms in a negative way. Just let yourself go and fall in love if it has to be. Maybe falling in love with him will even take you out of hocd

@notfortalk Maybe it can :( but can you rephrase the first few sentences

The problem is him and I have spoken very little. My crush on him happened out of the blue and it's been like this since 1.5 year. But he shows those typical signs of liking but my brain is obsessed and anxious that I'm wasting my time falling for a guy who never will love me back and now I feel anxious whenever hes etched in my mind :(

@chamomile I had the same issue when I was in high school. I developed an enormous and obsessive crush on a guy who literally had no idea I existed. We had no classes together and never spoke to one another. Well anyways, I told myself “the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward” and ended up adding him on Facebook and messaging him. I said something dumb like “wow you look really familiar, I feel like I know you from somewhere” (lame, yeah) but it got the ball rolling, and we ended up dating. I also made a point to find mutual friends between us to learn more about him and to “get my foot in the door” as well as try and get them to maybe bring me up to him. That probably makes me sound like a psychopath or something, but anyways... did kinda work.

@Lusterdove Man I wish I could do that. But he actually knows I exist from the way he looks at me whenever I enter his class. And then does the typical stuff like glancing at me, and he walks very near to me. My mom said she noticed him following me a bit around at a recent event at our school. But let's hope by sophomore year I can get a little close

@chamomile Also he doesn't use social media

@chamomile It definitely sounds like he has a bit of a crush on you, just based on what you’ve detailed. Couldn’t hurt to try striking up a conversation with him, maybe ask him a question about the class you two are both in, and then from there it could morph into something more?

@Lusterdove He has been doing these like since almost 2 years. He once did strike up a convo with me asking my birthyear, idk why he needed to know my age. But we talked very little since then but this year has been a bit good so far

@Lusterdove I'm trying to morph it. So far 2020 has been pretty great like we have been interacting physically more
