Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but I was actually searching on the site for a topic like this, because ny latest celebrity obsession is just confusing me. I don't know whether they are a crush, a special interest, or something completely normal and ordinary.
I think what's throwing me off is that she isn't a narrow subject where I'd immediately be able to identify it as a special interest; and she isn't someone I encounter in my everyday life, so you don't have that personal connection and longing that typically comes with crushes.
Actually, I have had a crush on a celebrity before and this doesn't feel like one. I think she's hot and I'd probably stare at her until I'm drooling, but it doesn't feel like a crush to me. Thus sounds like it belongs in the LGBT section on this site, I'm sorry.
I look up stuff about her online for as long as I can; same as I did with my drug addiction obsession, but I did that when I had a genuine crush on a non-celebrity too.
Ugh, it's just all so confusing.
