10 Ways To Get Over Being Crushed By Your Crush

We’ve all been there, crushing on someone we know we can’t have. Somehow, it seems getting over crushes is harder than moving on from actual relationships because (usually) the other party doesn’t know you exist, which makes you want to die inside. Do they know I exist? Did they text me back? What are they doing now? Here are some ways to cure yourself of "the feels."

1. Create distance

It's hard to get over someone when you're constantly hanging out with them. Find the right balance of distance between you and them for your own good.

2. Do you

Find something you love to do and don't give up on that. Some people are temporary, but hobbies and your interests are (hopefully) something you can always count on.

3. Talk it out

Talking about it may be the best way to get over your crush. Don't bottle your feelings up and leave them sitting in the cupboard. It won't do any good.

4. Distract yourself

Find a new person to pass the time with. Date someone else. Learn yoga. Anything that will distract you from thinking about your crush.

5. Unfollow them

Stop torturing yourself by looking at their social media accounts and obsessing over how you're not there with them. Instead, take care of yourself and delete, delete, delete them!

6. Keep it real

When we really like someone, we tend to focus all too much on the positives about them and idolize them in a way that is out of touch with reality. See things the way they are.

7. Know it's temporary and you're not alone

No matter how much you are hurting, this is most likely just a phase and it will eventually fade away. Also, know you're not alone in this process.

8. Know your worth

When we're getting over a crush, one thing our friends always remind us is "It's THEIR loss." Which is true! This person is not the only person in the world. YOU, however, are the only you.

9. Make a list

When all else fails, make a bullet list of things you dislike about your crush. Don't be a Ross, though, and let it slip into the hands of them.

10. Take it one day at a time

No one is perfect. And when you start catching the feels for someone, the best thing to do is take it day by day. Don't rush anything or be impatient. Take it hour by hour, even.

So basically, deciding to stop liking someone is tough. Even though you may feel lame for being so bummed out, you shouldn't. Don't worry, there's nothing ice cream can't cure!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
