understanding people

not literally understanding 'people', just people who are 'understanding'. say if you had something on your mind, no matter what it is, and no matter who it is to, if its really stressing you out, should you talk about it? are most 'people' understanding. im really sorry if this is stupid, cos i have something on my mind and i really need to talk to this someone, and i dont know if hell be understanding or creeped out. like if hes a good person, hell understand?

im so sorry if this doesnt make sense or if its too vague

Well, you could suppress it and then ten years later spend a lot of money on very expensive therapy if you wish. :smile:

ok so please dont slate me or whatever im really embarased about it and i suppose its really childish but its how i feel.

well at school i did some really embarasing things with this teacher, well i had a crush on him and he found out. i later realised what i really felt for him. i look up to him and respect him loads.i no longer have a crush on him. i feel stupid and immature for having done so, ive moved on. but in retrospect i still care about him. i look up to him loads, he has a lot of good qualities. well i want to be a teacher just like him and teach the same subject. hes inspired me.
well after all the embarasing things ive done, i cant look him in the eye. i guess i want to get to know him and kinda be his friend...like have friendly convos in school. also i see him as someone i can trust and ask advice of and to know if he can be there for me if i need him. thats what i want off him..sorta in a fatherly way..ish..im embarased abt how im feeling. i feel guilty that i want it off him, i mean how can i expect him to? but i cant help how im feeling. i dont even no if its ok to feel this way.
i want to tell him. but im sure if its the right thing to do. its really stressing me out and getting me down. there ive said it. sorry if its stupid and childish.

Telling him wont accomplish anything, teachers can't afford to get that close to young teenage girls that have crushes on them. So him becoming your friend is very unlikely. Add to the fact he already knows you have/had a crush on him, if you tell him how you feel there are probably only going to be two possible scenarios. One, if he thinks with his head (which should happen about 99% of the time) he'll do his job and reject you, maybe in a nice way or maybe in a way that makes you feel as big as an ant. Or, he could think with his penis, do something really stupid and lose his job and probably end up in jail, having sex with people a lot older than you, a lot hairier than you and with a lot more penis than you. So there arent really any happy endings if you tell him. :smile:

Well, everyone talks to their teachers, and even admire a few of them. What exactly is it you want from him? You sound a bit emotional for someone that just wants to talk to their teacher casually, to be honest.

The situation is very familiar and so I must know you. I have to say you've been going on about this for 9 months now and you're still not over him. I'm sorry if I'm not being particularly helpful for saying 'get over him' but I've been trying to help you for months and if I still answer your questions right now; it going to be the same ones as 9 months agos and onwards...I feel that I've already put my energy into the answer explaining to you what I think and now it's exhausting me and draining me...so all I say is 'get over it'.You keep repeating yourself and it gets to me. Another thing is you keep saying you're over him, yet you still talk about him and 'admire' him. To be honest, what is there to admire about him? he hasn't been your teacher since yr9 and you hated him. I have to admit...You give away your heart easily.
