Getting over a crush

Unread post by bricknmortar »

Howdy howdy
I think I have a crush on someone... but she's 16 and I'm 18. That's creepy and it's making me paranoid. I'm not planning to do anything about it but I feel bad because we are friends, and my feelings pop up when I talk to her. How do I get over these feelings so we can just be good friends?

Hi there, bricknmortar.

I hear you want to get over your feelings for your friend, and we can certainly talk about that and help you navigate this situation. I am curious, though, why you say it's creepy. It making you paranoid sounds very frustrating and I hate that you're feeling that way, so I just want to tackle that too, since from my perspective you aren't creepy for liking a friend who is only 2 years younger than you. Has someone said to you that it's creepy or weird?
