How do I stop a crush before it starts?

[chuppachup]

all the crushes in my life just haven't gone well so i would prefer not to have one. how do i stop myself from becoming completely infatuated with someone as soon as the feelings begin to develop? don't comment with "crushes are good, emtions ftw blah blah blah" i know that, but crushes are not a priority in my life, i want to improve my self before i even think of sharing my life with someone. repeatedly telling myself not to think of the crush, has only worsened it. i've been thinking of wearing a rubber band on my wrist and snapping it on my skin/pinching myself as soon as i catch myself staring or somthing. any tips?

I don't think you can pump those breaks. When you starts to realize it. It just goes.

avoid people

Are crushes really that inevitable?

[mrrapperguy]

yes. as long as you see/talk to people eventually you will be attracted to one of them

[smexiliciousss]

no just don't look at them and force yourself not to think about them

[chuppachup]

Sometimes it's like my mind has a mind of its own and I can't stop all these thoughts from streaming, even harder with a crush

[DarkHumorRUs]

Don't talk to them.

[chuppachup]

Unfortunately, that doesn't stop me from thinking about them. and it can take months for me to forget a major crush

By not talking to them
