If you are like most people, you’ve had a crush on someone at some point in your life. But what exactly is it? Is it love? Lust? Or something else entirely? Crushes have a lot of psychological implications that can tell us more about ourselves and the people around us than we may realize. Here are some of those facts:
1. Crush can lead to a real relationship.
While we might think that crushes are a sign of infatuation, they are not the same thing. A crush is a sign that you want to spend more time with someone and want to get to know them better. In other words, it’s a way of saying: “I like you!”
It can be hard for us humans to admit when we have feelings for someone, so having a crush on them is often an easy way out. It’s like saying: “I have feelings for this person but I don’t want any responsibilities attached so I will keep them at arm’s length and hope one day we grow closer… maybe.”
2. You tend to like people you have crushed on.
You tend to like people you have crushed on.
It’s a bit of a chicken-and-egg scenario: You like them because they like you, or vice versa. The truth is that both are true, and if you are crushing on someone it’s all but certain that they will be more likely to reciprocate your interest in them as well. In fact, there is evidence that suggests that we tend to prefer those who enjoy similar things as us (as well as those who are similar in appearance). This means that if the person in question likes the same sports teams or TV shows as you do, there is a good chance that you’ll develop feelings for them. Furthermore, if there is any indication from their personality traits—for example, if they share your love for animals—the chances of mutual attraction increase even further!
3. Sometimes people confess by mistake.
Some people accidentally confess to the wrong person. This could be because they are drunk, or want to make their crush jealous by telling someone else that they like them. Some people who accidentally confess will continue doing so in an attempt to get a reaction out of their crush, which may end up being successful. If you find yourself accidentally confessing more than once, you might want to reconsider your approach!
You may also accidentally confess without meaning to at all! If you’re in love with a friend who just so happens to have a girlfriend/boyfriend already then it can feel like things are going wrong for everyone involved—but don’t worry! Just take some time away from each other and everything should return back into place before long.
4. People with high IQ are more prone to have crushes on a lot of people.
People with high IQ are more prone to have crushes on a lot of people. This is because people with higher intelligence tend to be more open-minded, as well as more self-confident in their own opinions and choices. They might also enjoy new experiences, which may include having crushes on many different people at once.
People with high IQ are more likely to have a high self-esteem. If you feel good about yourself and your abilities, there’s no reason why someone else wouldn’t feel the same way about you! This can make it easier for you to find love or make friends with other people who share similar interests as yourself—which could lead into something more serious down the line (like marriage).
5. Crushing on someone can be sign of attachment disorder.
- Crushing on someone can be a sign of attachment disorder.
- Crushing on someone is also a sign of low self-esteem, so if you find yourself crushing on someone and you don’t know why, it might be an issue with your self-esteem. If this happens often, it’s best to speak with a professional about ways to improve your self-esteem and deal with any attachment issues you may have.
6. When you have a crush you feel good all day.
> You feel good all day even before you have a crush.
> When you have a crush you feel happy and excited, like your brain is floating.
> You don’t feel like doing anything else because all you can think about is this one person.
> Everything that happens to you during the day seems to be a dream because it’s not happening to your own body but to someone else’s body that looks identical to yours but is in reality very different from yours (because no two people are exactly alike).
7. People with low self-esteem are more likely to have crush on someone who doesn’t love them.
People with low self-esteem are more likely to have crush on someone who doesn’t love them. This is because they want to feel loved, and if you don’t love them back, they will feel better about themselves by having a crush on you. This is also why people tend to have crushes on celebrities or other people who are out of their league.
People with low self-esteem tend to have crushes on people who are not interested in them. This can be because they think that person has qualities that they lack themselves, or it could be a way for them to boost their own ego and make themselves feel good about themselves (even if only for a short time).
8. The feeling of liking someone changes after confessing about it.
While confessing your crush to the person you like is a way to deepen your relationship, it can also have negative effects. According to a study done by researchers at Rice University and The University of Texas at Austin, after people confess their feelings for someone else, they’re less likely to feel romantically attracted towards them. This may be because when we are rejected by someone else (including when someone doesn’t reciprocate our affections), our brain automatically tries to protect us from further pain by making us forget about them.
It’s also common for people who reject us in this way not only forget about us but also become hostile towards us—even if they were once friends! This happens because when we are rejected out of hand or harshly criticized by others, our brain interprets their behavior as an attack against which we need protection rather than something that might teach us something valuable about ourselves or others around us.
9. You often think about them more than normal when you have a crush on someone.
When you have a crush on someone, you often think about them more than usual. In fact, when you’re in the throes of this kind of attraction, nearly every thought that goes through your mind involves them.
You’re constantly thinking about the person who has caught your eye and how they might react if you were to approach them and speak with them. You think about what they could be doing at any given moment, where they might be going next and what their life is like outside of the office or classroom.
When we become infatuated with someone else, our perception becomes distorted because all we want is to become closer with them so that we can learn more about them—and perhaps even get into their pants! But if our desire for this person becomes too strong then there will come a point where it begins affecting our day-to-day activities negatively by causing us stress while spending time alone (or even worse: not spending any time at all).
10. having a crush is not the same as having feelings for someone
Have you ever had a crush on someone?
If so, you know how it feels to like someone. You might have thought about them constantly and felt butterflies in your stomach whenever they were around. However, does liking someone mean that you have feelings for them?
In some cases, crushes can be similar to having feelings for someone because both can make us feel happy and excited. However, we wouldn’t say that a crush is the same as being in love or being in a relationship! Instead of telling your crush how much you like them or asking them out on a date immediately after meeting them (which would probably cause some awkwardness), try getting to know each other first by talking casually over coffee or texting back-and-forth every day until one day—when it feels right—you decide whether or not there are enough sparks between the two of you to go further than just crushing on each other!
Conclusion
As you can see, it is normal to have a crush. It doesn’t mean that you are in love with someone or that they will necessarily like you back.
