Have you ever had a secret crush on someone?
Some people are brave and confess their feelings directly when they like someone, while others hesitate and silently admire the person they have a crush on.
The feeling of having a secret crush can only be understood by those who have experienced it. Having a secret crush often involves the following six feelings.
Always afraid that they know, yet afraid that they don’t.
When you have a secret crush on someone, you fear that they will see through your feelings and know that you like them. At the same time, you long for them to understand your feelings and know that you like them. You’re afraid that they’ll find out, yet also afraid that they won’t, or that they know but pretend not to.
Never having had, yet feeling like you’ve lost.
The person you silently like, you never truly had them, but at times, you feel like you’ve lost them. It feels like you’ve lost them a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times, making it hard to eat, sleep, and causing you unbearable heartache.
Frequently speculating whether they like you.
When you secretly like someone, you hope that they also like you. You often speculate whether they have any interest in you. Every time you notice the slightest hint of affection from them, you feel ecstatic. Conversely, when you think they don’t like you, you feel dejected.
Wanting to contact them, yet fearing to disturb them.
Every day, you constantly want to reach out to them, but each time you hesitate to send your message. You want to contact them, but you’re also afraid of bothering them.
Feeling less confident when facing them.
No matter how confident you seem to others, you always feel inferior when facing them. You are cautious and apprehensive, hoping to leave a perfect impression on them.
Paying close attention to them and not wanting to miss any of their news.
When you have a secret crush, you can’t help but pay close attention to them, not wanting to miss any information about them. You analyze every word and sentence in their social media posts, trying to understand their true feelings.
Have you ever had a secret crush? Did you end up together, or was your secret crush just that—a secret crush?
Having a secret crush is chaotic and disorienting. If you don’t take a brave step, it’s really difficult to win their affection. Whether you’re a man or a woman, being brave when you like someone is essential.
By being brave, approaching, and confessing, even if it doesn’t work out, at least you won’t have regrets later on.
