I have a huge crush on a celebrity

Post Reply New Topic

I currently have a crush on a celebrity, eventually I move on, having a crush on another celebrity.

what good comes of having crushes on people whom you can logically tell yourself you have absolutely no chance of being with?

keep in mind im talking about celebrities, not people you actually meet and interact with in real life. every girl you meet in real life you have a chance with. it might be small, but you still have a chance. if you meet a celebrity, on the other hand, you still have zero chance of being with them. none. nadda. its a waste of time, AND emotion.

honestly, following celebrities at all turns your brain into dumb-soup. dont do it.

It can make you feel giddy & give you something to focus on besides being single & lonely, Self-delusion can be a great coping technique

Good point, Nick, sometimes that longing or hope of finding social acceptance or the perfect relationship from one person can motivate people to strive and cope when it comes to dealing with problems.

However, I do think when a person has a crush on someone else, they tend to raise their expectations and optimism in regards to having a relationship with them, only to have it crushed when reality comes crashing down on them.

No kidding.

There's also a big difference between having a crush and being obsessed. When you say "huge crush" you're likely just not admitting to being obsessed. There's nothing wrong with writing a letter either, but if you include a pic and talk about dating you're already so far into creeper status it's too late.

A celebrity crush can be harmless, like watching someone's movies or listening their music. It works for teens the best, though, when they're still discovering themselves and what attracts them. I guess they can help you discover what you like physically in a partner (though celebs rarely look that good in real life, but ok). However, when you start obsessing about them, or when you dedicate much of your time to them, and especially when you stop looking for a real partner, then it's harmful. It's basically focusing much of your energy on someone who isn't real and who can never reciprocate the feelings.
