Listen to my story and provide me some solution?

[Anonymous]

Story started 4 years ago, when I had just entered my degree life. The guy (who was my primary school senior) and me happened to be in the same college. Considering that we started chatting over whatsapp (only virtual conversations, whatsapp was the new normal then). At the end of my first year degree, he confessed his love over whatsapp chat. I really was not expecting that from him. I didn't had such feelings for him either till that point. I kinda took it silly and kinda warned him that if he tells such things I will tell his parents (which is so childish and yeah I knew that I am not that matured to take on such decision in my late teens). After that we hardly chatted like twice or thrice in a year. But I had started thinking about him and was doing weird things like staring his profile photos, visiting his insta and fb pages etc. And this has become my daily routine and even after 4 years to that conversation I am not able to remove it from my mind. I want to stop thinking about him. Please suggest some solution on how can I do that and focus on other things?

Four years over a guy you barely know? I have no Idea why you haven't forgotten about him years ago.

I am thinking did I make correct decision by not accepting at that time

[Asker]

Or may be I am missing that attention?

[spartan55]

Again, you are second guessing yourself about something FOUR YEARS AGO.

[spartan55]

You haven't got any other attention in four years?

[Asker]

No..

[spartan55]

Why is that? You go to prison or something?

[Asker]

Haha, I was trying to focus on my studies

[spartan55]

Oh, you're one of those.

[Asker]

Yeah. So what is your suggestion?

[spartan55]

Do you even live close to him?

[Asker]

Yes. His home is few kilometers away from my home. But we can't see or meet each other. We never did. We just have virtual contact through whatsapp messages.

[spartan55]

Can't because of the pandemic?

[Asker]

Yes. And also we are not talking anymore. It's just me who is thinking about him. And I am not even comfortable to share this with him now.

[spartan55]

Then you probably shouldn't. I don't really see any upside tbh.

[Asker]

Yeah True. But my mind keeps on going to this topic. How to stop it is my problem

Talk to other guys- that usually makes you forget someone you didn't have a relationship with
