How do I stop worrying/second guessing myself everytime I interact with my crush?

[Anonymous]

Everytime if I talk to her or even just wave to her I start worrying that I accidentally made myself look dumb or weird. Like for example just 15 mins ago. She waved bye to me and I waved and smiled back but my dumb brain keeps worrying that I didn't smell good enough or something lol or that I didn't even wave at all. I shouldn't even care tbh.

Ah dude I hear ya, overthinking every little move around your crush is the worst! But don't stress too much, every guy does it.

Couple things that help me - remember she's just a normal girl too. Put her on the same level as your bros instead of some goddess. And focus on listening to her and making her laugh instead of analyzing yourself the whole time.

Also remember she probably ain't analyzing you half as hard as you do yourself. Chicks don't care about small stuff like your deodorant, trust me. As long as you showered you're good!

And lemme tell ya a secret - playing it super chill and confident even when you're nervous inside is key. Smile back and wave like it's no big thing. She'll like that way more than any fancy moves.

Just be yourself, relax, and don't sweat the small stuff bro. And who knows, you might find out she likes you back for you! Stranger things have happened. Keep at it dude.

Well.. I’m not a guy lol😆but one thing that helped me stop being nervous around the last guy I liked is to STOP thinking too much/often about that person. Stop idealizing them. Remind yourself of their bad traits if any. I pretty much stopped liking him after I reset my mindset about him and find ways to distract myself anytime a thought of him came to mind. Hope this helps. Good luck! :)

Your use of the word “crush” signals immaturity. Work on that and you will be fine.

What else do you call it?
