E.g a crush on a teacher, someone much older than you, a coworker, maybe even a cousin? A friends’ significant other?

Go into as much or as little detail as you like.

    A few. I’d say that a huge part of my becoming an adult was a moment in college when I felt one developing, and I said to myself “Come on, man, what are you doing? Are you going to add to the list of people that you’ve been pining over since high school? You’ve got to let that go.”

    It didn’t make the attraction go away, but actively working against my own unattainable crush subroutine helped me not carry around the feelings of angst and unresolved desire so much. I haven’t really developed another one since those days.
