Doing things to get your mind off of your crush can also be helpful. Find something else that engages your attention. Work on an art project, call a friend, read a book, get outside into nature—anything that gets your mind off of him for a while can help. When we think about the same thing over and over, our minds gets into the habit of thinking about that thing.
If we want to stop thinking about it, we have to train our minds to get into the habit of thinking about something else. You may have to force yourself to think about another topic at first, but doing so will become easier with time. Perhaps you can make an appointment with your school counselor, or even see a therapist outside of school.
Talking to a professional who can listen to you, understand you, and offer you guidance can be really rewarding. It may also help you feel less alone. Yes, experienced teachers usually do know if a student has a crush on them or other teachers will notice and tell them.
The best way to handle that situation is to try not do anything that can be mistaken by the student as reciprocating that feeling. Your teacher may very well know that you had a crush on her. It is her job never to act upon it, and she hopefully had enough grace to never bring it up. I would say yes, in most cases, most adults can tell when a young person has a crush.
The teacher draws power from such eye contact. Students who are not as serious, or who are wiser in some ways, know that they can avoid constant eye contact with a teacher. Respect their position as your teacher and give them the space that they need to do that job well.
Utilize if-then planning. Making decisions in advance about how you will handle your impulses can help you to be more successful in conquering them. Part 3. Speak with a licensed professional. If you are concerned that your crush on your teacher is impacting your day-to-day life and also preventing you from concentrating on your studies, talk to a therapist or school guidance counselor.
If you are concerned about privacy, talk to a therapist rather than a guidance counselor. Your therapist is required by a code of ethics to keep what you say confidential. Guidance counselors are not bound by the same code, and can easily report information that's revealed to them. Talk with your friends.
Your friends may have similar experiences coping with crushes and might be able to offer some interesting advice or perspective. If nothing else, talking about your feelings might make you feel less alone. Transfer out of the class. If you find yourself unable to stop thinking about or interacting inappropriately with your teacher, it might be time to make a more drastic change.
Talk to your guidance counselor or academic advisor about transferring out of the class. Be honest with your counselor about the feelings you're having for your teacher. If they don't fully understand how much these feelings are distracting you from your schoolwork, they might not be willing to let you change classes.
Trust that they are professionals who are trained to deal with situations like this. Part 4. Distract yourself with extra-curricular activities. Pursue new hobbies and renew old passions. Join new clubs and sports or recommit to old ones. Take the time and energy you previously spent lusting after your teacher and put it towards something productive.
Also try to get out and find some new people to spend time with to get your mind off them. Spend time with friends. Develop relationships with other people, especially people your own age. Work on strengthening current friendships and cultivating new ones. Open your mind to meeting and spending time with new people and you may find yourself falling out of love faster than you think!
Go somewhere new. Taking a trip or changing up your surroundings is incredibly healthy. Traveling can help you expand your mind and see the world in an entirely new light. Traveling also teaches patience, flexibility and perspective; which are all important qualities that will help you get over your teacher. Date someone new. The best way to get over an old relationship is to get involved in a new one. I have a serious crush on my teacher — should I tell her?
