Having a crush on someone is awkward and frustrating.
Especially if they won’t even give you the time of day.
Crushing on someone is never easy, but it’s something that almost everyone has to deal with at some point in their life.
It can be a confusing experience, especially if you’re not expecting it or haven’t had your first crush yet.
If you have been crushing on someone for some time now and all your efforts to win them over have gone unnoticed, it’s perfectly normal to feel upset and disappointed.
Luckily, you’ve come to the right article for help. Here are 10 ways to get over a crush who ignores you.
1) Try and focus on something else
If you like someone but they don’t like you back, try to focus on something else to get over the feeling.
They may not be interested in you and it’s best to just move on rather than continue to obsess about them.
So how can you move on?
One way to do this is to start doing things that you enjoy. You may start painting again, or go shopping, or even enroll yourself in a dance school! You can do anything you want!
This will take your mind off of them and give you something else to focus on besides their rejection.
Life is too short to mope over someone who does not feel the same way you do.
Just believe that there are other people out there worthy of your attention and time.
2) Ignore them
Ignoring a crush is an effective way to move on from them.
While it might be difficult at first, it can gradually become easier as time passes.
It’s important to realize that your crush may not be interested in you, and taking this into account can help you move on.
By learning that lesson, you’ll be better prepared to handle any future relationships that involve people who might not be interested in you.
3) Don’t give them attention when you see them
To get over a crush who ignores you, don’t give them attention when you see them.
It’s very hard to shake the feeling of rejection if they blatantly ignore you while they stare at someone else.
Don’t go up to them and start talking because it just prolongs the agony of having a crush on someone who doesn’t even know you exist.
It will only make things worse if they notice you and get angry at you.
As bad as that may sound, this is the best way to deal with it:
Do not give them attention unless they specifically ask for it or are clearly interested in what you have to say.
You can still text them or call them, but don’t expect a reply if they aren’t interested in talking to you.
Be patient and wait until you see signs that they are interested in connecting again – like asking about your day or mentioning their time is busy.
And if that time never comes, then there is nothing to worry about. You have done your part and the universe will give you what you deserve.
Just focus on other things that make you happy.
4) Talk about other people instead of them
When a crush ignores you, it can feel like the world has turned its back on you. If that happens, it’s common to feel angry and upset.
But one way to get over a crush is to talk about other people instead of them.
This will help you stop dwelling on the situation and start focusing on something else. It may help you to focus on your friends or family members.
One way to do this is by reflecting on the qualities that other people have that you admire.
For example, if someone is shy, think about how they might be more comfortable around people who are also shy and talk to them about it.
Or if someone is kind, think about how they might be kind to animals or kids or seniors.
Another way to talk about other people is by talking about others who remind you of them.
For example, if someone is ambitious, talk about how another person who shares this quality reminds you of them.
This will allow you to refocus your attention elsewhere and lessen the feelings of anger and sadness that come from being ignored by your crush.
5) Get out there and meet new people
Meeting new people is a great way to get your crush out of your mind.
You can meet someone new and have a new experience, which will keep you from obsessing about the crush you’re crushing on.
It can also help you make friends who can support you through tough times.
There are lots of ways to meet new people, whether it’s at a bar or a party, or even just going for coffee with a friend.
If you’re nervous, don’t be shy about introducing yourself and asking someone to join you.
Having someone to talk to will make it easier for you to forget about that crush that’s bothering you.
Of course, there are some rules that should be followed when meeting new people:
Don’t flirt with anyone-just yet.
You don’t want to come off as creepy or desperate if you approach someone and try to start up a conversation.
Be friendly, but not too friendly – show interest in their life but not in an overly personal way.
Connecting to new people will help you realize that there are so many out there waiting to be your friend. You just have to shift your focus and find the right ones.
6) Let go of any feelings of jealousy or anger
Jealousy and anger are the two most common emotions felt by people when they experience a rejection from a crush.
While it might be tempting to blame the other person for your feelings, remember that jealousy is not something that anyone deserves.
Jealousy can lead to feelings of resentment, insecurity, and even hurt feelings.
A crush on someone who chooses not to acknowledge your existence can leave you feeling angry and resentful.
While they might not be consciously aware of how they’re affecting you, their actions still have an impact on you.
You might feel the need to defend yourself or seek revenge against them.
On the other hand, anger is a feeling that stems from being put in an uncomfortable situation where someone has violated your boundaries or expectations.
When someone ignores your feelings or disregards your boundaries, this can make you angry.
Instead of feeling jealous and resentful, it’s important to recognize that their actions are affecting you negatively and take steps to deal with them so that you can get over this crush and move forward in your life.
7) Remind yourself that this isn’t about you
It can be really difficult to get over someone when you really like them and have a crush on them.
The main issue here is that people often try to make it about them.
In other words, they think that getting over someone means trying to get the person to like them or even see them in a new way.
This is not what getting over someone is about at all.
You are simply trying to get over the feelings of attraction and obsession you once had for the person who rejected you.
It’s not about being nice to them or trying to change their mind.
It’s about moving on and letting go of the feelings so you can be free to pursue other potential romantic relationships in the future.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they are trying to get over someone is thinking that they need to do something special or extra to make sure they don’t “fall back into” their old crush.
Remember, this isn’t about you! It’s about letting go of those feelings and moving on with your life.
Don’t try to make it more complicated than it needs to be: just let it go!
8) Don’t take it personally
When your crush may not be interested in you and just aren’t that into you don’t take that personally.
If they did like you, they would show it by talking to you more often.
If a crush ignores you, it might be because they are too busy and don’t have time for someone new right now.
Or maybe they just don’t want to talk right now.
This is especially important if you’re trying to get over a crush who is ignoring you (or who has ignored you for a while).
When they ignore you, it can feel like they are giving up on dating you or giving up on having any kind of relationship at all.
This can make it hard to get over them, especially since it can get confusing and frustrating when your crush doesn’t seem interested in seeing you anymore.
Make sure to keep an open mind about what’s happening between your crush and yourself.
Don’t take it too personally.
9) Remember that everyone goes through their own stuff in life
Everyone goes through different things in life, and you may be going through a stage in which you are having trouble getting over a crush.
The fact that everyone is going through it does not mean that you should feel bad about it or that there is anything wrong with you.
However, there are ways to deal with this situation and move forward with your life.
First of all, try to accept that this person may not be interested in a relationship with you.
Second, try to recognize when you have received attention from someone and understand what triggered their interest.
Third, try to acknowledge the fact that this person may never have any romantic interest in you.
As hard as it may be, try to remember that no matter what happens, you will always have your friends and family who love and support you.
And finally,
10) Remember that it’s only a crush and not a relationship
It’s important to remember that this is only a crush and not a relationship.
If your crush ignores you, then it’s not likely that they’re interested in getting to know you better or going out with you.
It’s possible that they’re just confused and are trying to figure out why people keep approaching them.
The key thing to remember is that there’s nothing wrong with you if he or she doesn’t want to get to know you better or go out with you.
It might be because they don’t have time for a relationship, are too busy, or might have other commitments that prevent them from being able to spend time with you.
In addition, it’s important to remember that it can be challenging for people to build a strong connection when both parties aren’t really sure about each other.
So, in some cases, people might be ignoring each other for the sake of their own comfort levels and not wanting to risk making a mistake.
Once both parties are able to build a solid connection and feel comfortable around each other, then things can start moving forward in the right direction.
For now, take it easy and focus your attention on things that really matter- yourself!
Conclusion
Crushing on someone is never easy and it can be even harder when this person either rejects your feelings or doesn’t respond to you.
However, if you’re determined to get over a crush who doesn’t reciprocate your feelings then the tips mentioned in this article are few of the things you can do to make it easier on yourself.
If none of those work for you, then maybe just talking about how you feel will help.
When you’re dealing with rejection from a crush, it’s easy to become frustrated and even feel helpless. You may even be tempted to throw in the towel and give up on love.
I want to suggest doing something different.
It’s something I learned from the world-renowned shaman Rudá Iandê. He taught me that the way to find love and intimacy is not what we have been culturally conditioned to believe.
As Rudá explains in this mind-blowing free video, many of us chase love in a toxic way because we’re not taught how to love ourselves first.
So, if you want to get over a crush who ignores you, I’d recommend starting with yourself first and taking Rudá’s incredible advice.
