Loving a celebrity is the most embarassing thing I accidentally ever committed to

Hello. I’ve been suffering from serious depression, anxiety, and extremely low self-esteem, leading to self-harming thoughts, all because of my life and choices. I’m primarily attracted to foreign males and have fallen in love with my celebrity crushes. Let’s call them T, J, and R.

I was deeply into T from mid-2020 until April 2022, but then he had several dating rumors and some weird, inappropriate behavior at an award show. After that, I found J and admired him, eventually falling in love from April 2022 to February 2024. However, he also had three dating rumors and a close connection with a female assistant choreographer, which affected my feelings.

Now, I like another guy who’s my age. He seems sweet and cute, but I still can’t find happiness because my life feels boring and miserable in my country. I’m not sure if I’ll ever have anyone in my life or how that’s even possible. I’m going through breakdowns and battling low self-worth.

Thanks for reading. I hope this doesn’t trigger negative comments. By the way, they all have the same profession, but I don’t think I’m attracted to the profession itself. I just found them to be my type.

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, and it’s brave of you to share. It’s okay to have crushes - they can be a way to escape or cope - but they might also reflect unmet needs like connection or excitement. Right now, focus on small steps to take care of yourself. Journaling, trying new hobbies, or seeking therapy could help you process your feelings and build confidence. Redirecting your energy into activities or passions outside these crushes may also bring fulfillment and create opportunities to connect with others. Be kind to yourself, and remember your worth isn’t tied to relationships or circumstances. You’re not alone, with time and support, things can improve. You deserve happiness and peace.
The poster above me has given some really good advice. It may also be worth reminding yourself that these feelings are infatuation, not love. You can’t be in love with someone you’ve never met and don’t know personally. One day you will but not with a celebrity.

i can't be in love with i met because i am not attracted to them and that's why i am attracted, in love with people whom i never met, they live in a different country and celebrities are the most famous people i know from other countries.

That makes no sense. You can’t be in love with a celebrity because you don’t KNOW them.

I’ve been through some tough times with low self-esteem and feelings of being stuck too, so I get where you’re coming from. It can be really draining when you invest so much in someone, only for things to fall apart or not work out how you hoped. For me, it helped to take a step back and focus on the things that make me feel good, even if it’s just small stuff like hobbies or hanging out with friends. Life can feel pretty dull and lonely sometimes, but things do change, even if it’s hard to see it right now. You deserve a chance to feel better and build up your self-worth at your own pace. Take care of yourself.
Loving a celebrity is the most normal and unremarkable thing you ever admitted to.

Seems like a very common teenage fixation, doesn’t it?
