We are all guilty of doing stupid things around our crush. If you want to move on from a crush, you should start by avoiding them and stop stalking them. Do not waste time standing around the coffee machine waiting for them to come and make small talk with you. Also, stop stalking them on social media.

If you are developing a crush on a coworker but deep down you know things won't work out, go ahead and allow yourself to dream how things would be if it does work out, but then bring yourself back to reality.

One of the most effective ways of getting over a crush at work is to focus on why are you at work in the first place. Focus on your aims, ambitions, and career. Your job and ambitions are a lot more important than these temporary feelings that will eventually fade away with time. Think long term and do not let anything get in way of your dreams.

Seeing someone you have a crush on every day is pretty hard as you will constantly know what they are up to. However, try as hard as possible to stay composed and do not let your expressions show them that you still care. Acting indifferent is the key if you want to move on. Even if it affects you, show them that you don't care. When you become a pro in acting, you will eventually feel yourself getting detached from them. As it has been said, fake it till you make it. This trick actually helps.

It has been said that you don't need anyone to get over someone. Theoretically, it is true but practically, a rebound can really help. It gets a lot easier when you have someone who gives you the time and attention that you deserve. Start talking to someone on the internet if it helps you move on. At first, it will feel that it is hard to impossible to get over someone but trust time. There is something better in store for you, just hang in there.

The day you realize that your entire life does not revolve around one human, many things will get better on its own. Prioritizing your own self is so important. We often overlook the things that make us happy and these things are all we need to get over someone. Learn to paint or go swimming with your friends. When you see your crush every day, you will feel like you will never get over them but when you focus on empowering yourself, you will eventually get better.

You might see your crush every day at work or you might be together at the gym; whatever it is, there are always possible ways of keeping yourself busy. Make new friends, go out for coffee with them and just stay firm in your decision that you have to move on. No matter what happens, promise yourself that you cannot go back down that lane.

Having a crush on someone is normal and completely harmless but when it starts getting serious knowing that things cannot work out, that is where the trouble begins. When we like someone too much, we are willing to do anything for them knowing that they might not even do half as much for us and that is when they start taking us for granted. However, we must remember that we deserve better than being taken granted for. Do not allow yourself to get attached to someone too much when you know they don't feel the same way for you. Keep yourself busy and distracted from their thoughts. Prioritize yourself and wait for your turn. The person who is meant for you will find his way towards you eventually.
