It's the crippling fear or being called a creep again for simply breathing the same air. Society really fucks with the self esteem of young men.
Don't worry it fucks the self esteem of everybody except billionaires who are hoarding it
not true. billionaires can just afford a hair transplants, personal chefs, cleaning staff, nice shit, etc. and they also pay beautiful women to hang out with them.
Hmm. Are crushes just people you're afraid to ask out?
I would say most of the time, yes. They still might be your crush if you are rejected though. You also might have a work crush on someone, but know it's not real or you're already in a relationship. Then you wouldn't ask them out for other reasons than being afraid. I probably broke this down too much.
I think you're spot on, perfect examples.
Yeah, I think it was gen Z that started saying "my crush" instead of "someone I have a crush on" years ago.
I've always thought it was a weirdly possessive way of phrasing it.
I'm a 32 yo millenial and the first time i read "my crush" in a sentence was in a teen magazine when I was 12 yeard old, and from context, it definitely meant "person I have a crush on"
It's nothing new
I think you're looking into it too much
Yeah, probably. I know nobody who says it is actually thinking that way - it just hits my ear a little differently.
"My" can mean possession or it can mean association.
I hear ya. It's all about context.
Relatable.
Problem is that when i think about a relationship i think about my last relationship and i don't want to do that again—i would rather be single.
