[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you really want to get over it, you have to shift your attention every time you start thinking about him in a crush-y kind of way. Kind of like meditation where you keep returning your focus when you see you have been distracted.

That said, it’s hard because I suspect your mind kind of enjoys the thoughts.[/quote]

Say more about this. Like, shift your attention to some completely unrelated like how you need to do the dishes? Or something else.[/quote]

The more you fantasize, the more dopamine that is released, creating a vicious, highly addictive cycle. Emotional affairs always start in the mind. The fantasy..

Dishes? Nah, too boring and too easy to fantasize to distract from the boredom. You must do something cognitively stimulating. I found focusing on friends’ problems and trying to help others distracting.. busy days at work, planning kids activities and social nights out with other couple friends.

None are going to be as intensely euphoric as the fantasy, of course, but the sooner you begin to distract, the easier it is to squash the feelings before they take on a life of their own.

Oh, and STAY AWAY from your crush. You MUST do this. NOW. Once it starts, it becomes too overpowering for most to simply stop - at least without extreme agony as the outcome.[/quote]
