Is it normal to be anxious around a crush?

I told someone about my feelings that I have been holding on for too long, now I feel like I just ruined my friendship between me and my crus. Now it feels awkward around my crush's presence (even looking at my crushes face), even more so we see each other everyday, having that triggered anxiety around her. When things are done, I just wanted to run away and be at my own company without her (or anyone that my crush associates with, even at that common area). IDK, its just the nervousness/anxiety that kicks in being in a flight or fight mode. Now I'm trying look on resource to put myself in a calm mode when I'm around her getting myself back up and move forward, would love your thoughts and input though. Good Day :)

    That's a very normal response to be anxious. I'm assuming that your feelings weren't reciprocated, which is sad. But if you want to still be friends with her, I think you should try to act like nothing has changed, and things can mold back to the way they used to be. At some point you can talk about your feelings again, but don't try to push that until you're in a comfortable spot.
