CheezDoodle Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I find myself always shutting down when a person I like is around me. When we;re friends I'm fine. We get along great. As soon as I realize my feelings are there for them or (and ESPECIALLY) if I see the feelings are mutual, I start shutting down. Can't think of anything to say. Conversations start failing. Can't approach them. They obviously walk alone when we're with friends hoping I'll come up to them...I can't bring myself to though earlier I would have. I do everything in my power to not show anymore signs that I like the person (staring, sending signs) though I desperately would like it to be known. It's like said person puts out an emp wave when they get near me and I just enter a vegetable state. It's really the only obstacle from stopping me from making the leap. So...how do I get over this obstacle? A certain mindset? I know thinking of her as "just a friend is how some people do it. but that can't last forever right? I feel like once everything is out there and the mutual feelings are confirmed out loud, this will go away, and I'll open up more. But for now...I just keep shutting down. Even when I deep down know the feeling is mutual and I just le tmy brain rain doubts on me everyday and I believe them.
