How you deal with a crush?
This is a list of several topics I wanted to discuss that I feel people aren't really discussing in the queer/gay male community which are.
Do you think Ex Gay/conversion therapy is okay?
Why is mental illness taboo in the gay community?
How you deal with a crush?
If you could take a pill to no longer be gay, would you take it?
Have you ever attempted suicide from being gay?
How to handle rejection or disappointment in the gay community?
Just as an introduction as I know we all come from different backgrounds and situations and experiences, I am a gay African/Black American feminine man.
So in this topic, I want to know how do you deal with a crush.
This is not to be confused with, How to handle rejection or disappointment in the gay community. To where it isn't necessary romance and relationship based.
So being gay, I've had many crushes on guys who are all sexuality.
I will say having a crush on a straight guy, seems the worst at first. As there are more straight men in the world, so being single, you are more likely to crush or infatuate over a guy who's not even gay.
But having a crush on a gay/bi/queer guy can be even more damaging. As he's also attracted to guys as well, but there isn't that many gay guys out there, so you feel more attacked or bothered due to this.
In any case, I feel a crush in general is hard to deal with.
My only thing, how do you deal with a crush, if they don't seem interested, they turned you down, they are straight, the guy is gay himself but isn't attracted to you.
If you still think about them a lot, and you don't think you'll ever find someone better as them?
When you are getting over your crush and you are starting to hate them, yet still deep down in your heart you still think there is a chance or still have attraction or whatever.
So how do you deal with all of this?
The way I deal with it, is that I develop another crush, which could make things harder.
Yet in some cases I get over those pasts crushes. I start to see what I did wrong, or what about me did this person didn't like, or if it wasn't meant to be, why do I still keep thinking about them?
So it's hard in that regard, but I don't know.
I just think being single and alone it's hard to get over shit like this, but I don't know.
