Is it normal that i can't talk about my crushes?

I've always had this thing that if I have a major crush on someone, I find it impossible or very uncomfortable to talk about. If I try to talk about it, I get really nervous, terrible butterflies, and feel really embarrassed. Even when I'm alone, I can't say the person's name out loud. I don't tell people who my crushes are (although sometimes I'm not very good at hiding it) and I hate it when people find out. I guess I feel like once those emotions are external, they're no longer as special; if I keep them private then they're much more powerful and intimate, even if it's just in my head. Or perhaps that saying it aloud would jinx it.
I've been told that I take crushes way too seriously, but I really don't do this on purpose. I actually find it physically difficult to talk about them. So... IIN?

    you might also just be an anxious person, or an extreme introvert. As both of those things myself, I totally understand where you're coming from. :) ♥

    I would say its fairly normal. You're just embarrassed/nervous as you said.
    I wouldn't think too much on whether it was normal or not but rather try and make some progress.

    One way to do this could he to write down who you have a crush on like a letter then read it out loud when you are alone.
