At what age do you think one shouldn’t have crushes anymore? I thought I am at a crush proof age now (reaching mid thirties) but I have fallen into it and having a hard time becoz of it.
When I see her and talk to her, her voice keeps echoing in my head for weeks. When I ignored her and avoided talking to her, it didn’t make much difference. Approaching her and talking to her hasn’t worked either as she is hard to catch and hold. I find myself in a situation where there is no way out.
I’m not 100% certain but I try to be realistic as she will be gone soon. I have seen her for many months but couldn’t get a chance all that time (although I made her offers at every opportunity). What I have not been able to do in the 90% of the time spent with her, I will not be able to do in the remaining 10% of the time, that’s what makes me beleive I have no chance now.
I dont think age has anything to do with this, lot of people stay like this for all their life, it depends on how much you love or how much you want to keep that crush:faizy:. Its human nature we do say we want to get out of it, but we dont really mean it from the inside, cause from inside we dont want to change:frusty:. All you have to do is think straight, rather than go in circles of the same thing and same person. Life is like a ocean there are many treasures down deep the sea one must dive deep to find them
Well, Ottomans are long gone and no one can ask them how it felt, so talk about your own experiences please :D
Peace maait
Ok, well I'll be honest with you ... you need to create a trigger in your mind that every person of the other gender is a sibling. Then convince yourself of that. I was already crush proof, but an endeavour to become plutonic master ... I found this to be the only way that I could rise in a spiritual way. I felt that my level in spirituality came to a drastic drop each time my mind focussed on women ... I could not focus on my Lord. I had to set-up methods to stay focussed.
Often there will be a trigger - i.e. something about that person that ensnares you ... you need to avoid that part, for example - you said "her voice" - that is called the "avenue of distraction" you need to block that avenue - there may be more avenues you need to block them too. Certain psychological tricks can help do that. I hope that helps.
