Is it normal that i reject the idea of me having a crush when i do

Is it normal that whenever I get a crush, I reject the idea or suppress it. Even if he is really great and possibly likes me, I still reject my own feelings of liking him. I do this all the time. Sometimes it's too much to suppress, so I indulge in it the thoughts of him for a while, but then go back to my senses and manage to suppress it once more. It usually works okay, and I can keep the feeling away until it wears off. One time though, I felt bad because we liked each other mutually, I will acknowledge it, but I rejected that I had any feelings for him. I don't know why I do this. It's not easy, but I assume that it's easier than the other.

Also, I never tell my friends about my crushes. I don't know why, but it's a hard subject to talk about, even when I will go to detail about what others might think are harder to talk about. And I am amazed of how girls can be so out-loud about how they feel about their crush. "OMG, he's so cute!!" And they will go on for so long and make it known to the world.

I want to analyze my behavior, so I can better understand myself... Reviewing this, I feel that I probably have rejection issues, so I feel the need to reject first? And maybe I have certain trust issues as well? What are your thoughts?

    One of these days, somebody is just going to push those feelings right out of ya. And you'll feel pretty good about it, at least for a little while.

    Personally, I think you're being smart about this. You're being especially smart about not telling friends. I think that a really good friend that one can confide in is an awesome thing but whatever one shares outside the confines of his or her own mind has a potential to turn into embarrassing gossip.

    My thoughts: You're mature and deal with those little crushes with as much personal attention as they deserve.

    • What exactly is social retardation? If you mean it in a way that the person doesn't know how to act or communicate(pretty much oblivious to how 'inappropriate' they are acting), then no. But if you mean it in the way that compares to social anxiety and debilitation because of that, then yes, I am very socially retarded. For example, I am aware of how I act and I'm almost too cautious in a social setting.

    I'd like to learn your ways from you, how is it possible to ignore having a crush on someone. For me I always seem to be thinking about them if I have a strong one.

    You will have many more objects of interest (crushes) than you can ever act on. It's normal not to gush on about every person that catches your fancy. Your friends just have a different personality, but those kinds of girls can be rather annoying to lots of other personalities.

    I usually start farting a lot around a crush due to being nervous. I cleared a room of 100 people that way before

    I'm right there with I suppress whatever infatuation I have for a person because usually it is not mutual. Unless I get a sign that she likes me, then I don't want to bother with false hope.
