He’s taken, and I’m obsessing. Something felt “right” the first time I laid eyes on him; it was like a gut feeling. I KNOW it’s ridiculous, but I just can’t turn off these feelings.
Of course, I can control my actions: I won’t do anything. But what can I do for myself? How can I feel better about this?
I’m stuck in this phase of my life, with no distractions other than burdens and obligations. 😥 He feels so intense, and I get weak around him. I try to avoid being near him, but when it happens, I bet he can tell. What can I do?
There are many general guides regarding getting over unwanted infatuation, f.e. https://www.wikihow.com/Get-over-Someone-Who-You-Know-You-Can't-Date
Reading those could help you reorganize your thoughts.
Personally I found that it can be easier to work through stuff if I try to imagine how I would help a friend in my own situation. That helps with getting perspective.
