Did you ever act silly over crushes in early teens?

[FloopWed]

I'm asking because I cringe about the way I acted when I was in my tweens/early teens. I became a lot more mature at 16 and realised how to behave a bit more sensibly.

I won't go into too much detail but when I had my first proper crush in year 7 I went around telling everyone how "in love" I was.

In year 9 I was unhealthily obsessed with a crush, so much so that when we had a falling out I kept on sobbing and asking for forgiveness.

Fortunately after getting thoroughly teased for my behaviour I learnt how to behave more normally and how to handle relationships in a more mature manner. So much so when I've had crushes later on, I've acted completely sensible and been able to remain friends even if they said no.

Didn't everyone? 😂

I was awful, and not just in my teens! I still shudder now thinking about them.

In year 7, the person I had a crush on eventually found out I'd been going around expressing my crush on them. This made it really awkward.

In year 9, I genuinely was unhealthily obsessed knowing that that person was upset with me.

Thankfully at 6th uni and uni, I acted perfectly normal and sensible.

This is normal and people continue to act silly around crushes even at 90+ of age.
You're too hard on yourself,probably had a hyper critical family who belittled and mocked you and others.

At school I got teased for it. I kinda wish I'd just kept my mouth shut. I used to get really emotionally attached to members of the opposite sex.

I wasn't one of the popular kids.

Aw, OP. Surely everyone's made a tit out of themselves when they were younger, especially when it came to crushes!

I just thank god that there was no social media/mobile phones back in my day! 🤣🙈

@MissCalamity thank you! It's just that I was so silly when I was younger. I wish I could tell year 7 me that it wasn't real love.

Everyone has done cringey things. Y7 was a baby. You were so innocent and full of love and hormones..it doesn't define you.
You know what's really cringe? Prince Harry at 30 something telling the world how he lost his virginity by mounting an older woman like a stallion in a field 😭😭😭😭

Thank you. I moreso regret what I did later on when I became unhealthily obsessed with someone. It really affected my mental health, but I'm glad I eventually overcame it and learnt how to behave with more maturity.

Had no idea about Prince Harry

Yes, no matter whether the crush was a boy at school, a teacher or a celebrity at that age I always acted silly and obsessive or told all and sundry. Like when I was in Year 8 and made such a big deal of fancying a lad I had a couple of lessons with that by Year 9 he woudn't talk to me and said I was ugly, once we no longer had any lessons together I moved on from him. I also liked a slightly older lad that I did a couple of plays with, but he was more mature and got on with me and my friends, wasn't embarrassed about the fact I had a crush on him as I wasn't the only girl that chased him around! As for the crushes on teachers, they laughed it off and said I had good taste!

I had a crush on a teacher only in primary

Ya know the nudge thing on msm? I should have been blocked from using that. I organised a meeting at school with the same crush and asked if I could kiss him… never bloody spoke to him tho 😬 honestly surprised I didn’t get bullied for that tbh 😅

I was unbelievably cringe at that age, I look back on it now and laugh.

Don't worry OP. I was crazy over a boy at school and had no idea he was gay. Made a big tit of myself. Another crush lasted two years. I made such a fool of myself. I finally after two years of crushing, I kissed him at the school disco and got what I now know as the ick. Never looked at him again.

Was he that bad of a kisser?

I remember now as a teenager, going to bed and making up fake conversations with my crushes in my head.

I feel the bullying I received after year 9 was well deserved. I was saying lots of stupid and creepy and inappropriate shit. And I learnt from that how to act a bit normal.

Come 6th form a had a massive crush on someone and even though they turned me down we remained good friends. I did not creep them out.
