Accepting you have a crush is the first step to overcoming it. However, getting over a crush can take time (especially if you see them every day), so go easy on yourself if weeks pass and you're still hung up! If your crush is intense, you may even feel some grief at the thought of letting go of the fantasy of being with this person. It's important to let yourself feel your feelings, from sadness to anger to loneliness. Talking to trusted friends can help, as can journaling to process your emotions.
A shift in your mindset may help you overcome your crush too: we tend to idealize crushes and put them on pedestals, so reminding yourself that your crush is only human can help dispel the fantasy. Distract yourself by meeting new people and engaging in new hobbies: this may help remind you that there's more to life outside of your feelings for your crush.
