Do You Have a Crush?

Falling for someone you don’t know

Are you too obsessed with or have a serious crush on a celebrity? Arpita Agnihotri helps you dispel the false hope that could be damaging you slowly.

Stop believing in fairytales
There is a reason the Cinderella story is in the fairytale section; it rarely comes true. There won’t be any fairy godmothers, the prince won’t take notice of you, let alone fall in love with you madly. It is a nice dream but it points out to your desperate need for a real relationship and maybe, a feeling of loneliness too. Get out in the real world and connect with people around instead.

You don’t really know them
The newspapers, magazines, TV channels which you’re following to know more about your crazy love are full of misinformed reports. Famous people have a life too, which is quite different from how they’re portrayed. They too, are just doing their work, much like you. Know that he/she won’t be the same in real life and that you should start moving on in life. Better burst the bubble before it breaks your life apart.

Craziness and admiration differ
There is a huge difference between crazy love or obsession and deep admiration. Keep it to admiration and you’re good to go. It is completely fine to admire a celebrity and fall head over heels each time you see them. However, don’t give up on life and your real relationships. You’re just creating a shadow of a person for yourself to love. Shadows are not real! Find someone with depth or make a move. Go, ask him out and have a real relationship!
