Is it normal to obsess over a crush?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—getting caught up in a crush and replaying little moments is common. It’s worth paying attention if it starts taking over your day or pushing you to cross someone’s boundaries.
Crushes can turn your brain into a tiny detective agency: rereading messages, analyzing eye contact, and imagining what might happen. That’s pretty common, especially when the feelings are new or you don’t know how the other person feels.
It’s usually harmless if you can still focus on your life and respect their space. If you’re losing sleep, struggling to work or enjoy other things, or feeling driven to monitor or contact them repeatedly, try creating a little distance and talking it through with someone you trust.
