Is it normal to be obsessed with your crush?

Mostly.Normal for most people

It’s normal for a crush to take up a lot of your thoughts, especially when the feelings are new or uncertain. If it’s making it hard to focus or pushing you to cross their boundaries, it’s worth stepping back and getting some perspective.

A crush can turn your brain into a very enthusiastic, very unhelpful fan club: replaying conversations, checking for messages, and imagining what might happen. Lots of people go through that, and it often eases with time or once you get to know the person better.

The useful distinction is whether it’s fun daydreaming or starting to take over. If you’re neglecting your own life, feeling constantly distressed, or monitoring or contacting them in ways they haven’t welcomed, make some room: mute their updates for a bit, spend time on other things, and respect their privacy and boundaries.
