3:40 ahh yes. I can relate to this. I’m 15 btw.
I joined this Youth Apprentice program me with a swimming organization I joined. And since now that I am now an assistant swimming coach. I’ve observed my crush (also in the same position with me), that I mimic her teaching style as well, to the point even my boss asked me abt it, but how I responded by saying, “I am just mixing everyone’s teaching style and making my own, anyways, I am improving bit by bit,”
So really, it’s quite funny in my opinion😂
I just mimicked her style, because I know that she teaches well, she gives a good environment to the kids (students), and knowing that my bosses are saying I’m improving is a good sign? Or am I wrong…?😂

I'm 22 and feeling like a damn child just because I finally found someone who seems to like me back. I can't stop thinking of her, ever. It's got to the point I get really, really upset whenever I'm expecting to see her and she doesn't come.
But I have no idea how to take a step forward because I'm scared shitless that I mistead anything or that she'll suddenly lose interest in me once she knows how needy I am.
It’s hell on earth when you develop a crush on someone at work. In my case, she’s a new manager. The moment I first saw her, my brain immediately went, “Yep, she’s my type.” That was all it was at the time, though. No feelings yet, obviously, because we had just met. Unfortunately, it’s been a while since then, and it’s becoming harder and harder not to like her. When a woman has the looks, the personality you’ve always wanted, a strong work ethic, an observant nature, and somehow makes you feel safe, it’s honestly terrifying. She’s incredibly observant too. She notices even the slightest shift in my mood and has asked if I’m stressed when something seems off. I’m not supposed to like her, but at the same time, she makes me want to slam my head against a wall because every new thing I learn about her just gives me another reason to fall harder.

@fadilahbibie7571HER NAME IS JOY WHAT THE FRICK!!! ToT
@fadilahbibie7571I liked a boy for about four or five years, later I realized that I wasn't serious for him and he also made fun of me in many ways, like making me believe that he liked me and I got to the point of asking him to be my boyfriend and when I said it he burst out laughing after that I really didn't even want to look at him, terrible behavior and I didn't understand how from the beginning I got stuck with such a person while I have principles and values and a perception that when I saw such people around me I would do away with him, I don't know what had happened to me, of course I was relatively young
😵💫❤😵💫😮💨🥸🤧🥺
But it’s okay because now I have learned my lesson and it wasn’t something serious so it’s better that way
By the way, your video is amazing. Keep going good job 👏🫶🏼✨✨✨✨✨✨😉

@StarpuppetsxD3:10 i remember i used to do this with my crush before,I'd lower my register to sound more laid back,but now that I'm in a relationship with them,i actually do the opposite,I raise my pitch to sound more caring,and gentle
@PicowastakenGood video
@NoxisMedia-c7iI have crush on my classmate for 3 and a half month and I hope it doesn't end. He has a good personality, i like his opinions, he seems fair and he's funny. But even tho we are classmates, we have never talked to each other. He's in a different group and has a lot of friends. In march, I texted him - i wished him a happy name day, than happy easter and asked how he is and a few days later asked him more and i sometimes text him, but it's not much. But he has never asked back. And I don't know if he's not interested, not feeling like it or if he just don't know how.
I have a big problem to make friends with him. It's so hard. I dunno what to text him and how to make him write a bit more. He respondes to everything, but never asks.
And I'm a shy girl. I'm scared to write him, but than I'm happy when he responds, however I still feel like we're so far away from each other - we're still not friends. What should I do?
Does this still apply if you've been staying with someone every weekend for months or is that not a crush anymore?
@Lucy.2008my crush (now bf) told me to follow my heart, and designed a custom lantern for me ;) I love him sm but i dont know if it'll last bc he's moving countries next year...
@muixpiggyBut what if she doesn't like me back? I can't make anyone love me, so I want to move on but I can't
@denmakenlo890actually I used to date someone I liked but I didn't felt good enough so I broke up with them but shortly got with someone called aro which is a name I can't rid of and I dream about them but I found out they liked me the whole time btw I'm lesbian and my relationship with aro is great and lovely. Just mentioning the name aro makes me really happy so yea I like the facts of this vids tysm!!!

@artfulchaos2061"This video from Psych2Go is absolutely mind-blowing! 🧠 I love how it breaks down the complex psychology behind crushes into 17 relatable and fascinating facts. The explanation of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon and why we idealize our crushes was particularly. The animation is cute and engaging, making the scientific information so easy to digest. It’s comforting to know that 'butterflies' are just a natural stress response [00:05:20]! This content is incredibly helpful for anyone trying to understand their emotions better. Thank you for another high-quality, insightful, and soothing video! 🌟✨💖😍🙌"
@thesilentbraveheartI have a crush…..
On my freind..

We have been friends for like a long time since we were 5-6 (I think) so like we r 11 now (I’m technically 12) but my bday has not come yet so 11 and a half
I rlly need your word..am I actually attracted to a GIRL …or is it just a false alarm
Also we don’t rlly hang out anymore…it’s been a year we are splitting up slowly and PAINFULLY :( she doesn’t like to pretend to be dragons anymore she likes other things (not boys she isn’t a girly girl she is a girls girl) so yeah I have not told any one I. Close with
Me remembering every dream I have and my crush appearing on them since January (it's May today)
@Music-e3d1jBro, I have liked the smae gu y for 2 years straight, not 4 freaking months!❤
@MaggieWaldburgercool
@TeacherTripleTWould guys also mess with their hair if he likes a girl? (6:46)
@Anita-y2r2ibut my crush is not real....
@echo_zone-18I haven't had crush anymore and I can't remember my dreams at all for like- months probably more💀 guess that explain it all😭
@Devyanauwu4:03
Oh... ive been liking someone for a sopid 6 months now...
1:12 Bro i litteraly ran away from my crush because my classmates Somehow knew From my "Friend" (Quotes bc he hated me before) and Then she started Trying to Make to talk, Calmly even, It's given mixed signals bc my "Friend" told me she is taken, Maybe she lied bc my "Friend" was weird or she didnt and My classmates said Smth About me
@U_n_K_n_0_w_Nthe first one is so ture i swear to pizza face therse this one person in my school that will never ever like me i mean like yeah for many reasons
@drawingthings-1Y'know for 8, I usually have my head down because I'm pretty sure he hates me and doesn't want to see my face. But he sort of copied me when we were leaving the hallway.
@chxcolate_101i probably like a queer person on the school bus who is a grade below me, and i've been really nervous to do something about it since by april next year i could be moving 8 hours away from my current home with my family and i don't want to fall for someone only to be ripped away from them and possibly never see them again, it wouldn't be fair.. this is the second time i've liked someone, the first time was a guy i've been best friends with since pre-school but we've just accepted we're only friends, i'm also platoniromantic, meaning i only feel mutual feelings for people and not romantic ones, and with the person i like now, its not like i would want to hug or kiss them, but i would want to hold their hand, maybe go do activities that seem like dates, i don't know man..
