I'm in love with someone I can never have?

[910]

First of all, i am not in love just with the way they look, i love their art, their personalty, all of them!
He is 2 years older than me (not such a big difference) but he is famous, and beautiful and way out of my league. He lives far away, and is going to do big things with his life, and it makes my heart ache when i know he'll never feel the same. Please don't say give up hope and move on, its impossible I've tried, but my mind always goes back to him. Once he direct messaged me on twitter replying to a question i asked, and he also liked my drawing that i did of him on instagram, which gets my hopes up that maybe, in a different time and different place, he could like me.Whenever he makes a new video on YouTube, I feel it all over again. (Don't tell me to unsubscribe, because thats not going to happen) What should I do? Has anyone felt something similar to this? Thankyou.
Panda and Been there, I would like to say that firstly I am not and 'obsessed fangirl'saying that I have absolutely no chance is BS! You may think i'm being delusional and caught up in a 'fantasy', and think that i have some deep psychological hatred for myself, and I need counseling- HA! All of you are over-analyzing the situation. Having a crush on someone, even if you've not met them, isn't necessarily a bad thing! All I wanted from your answers is conformation that there is a chance-there is

Love takes 1-2 years of BEING a couple before it starts to grow.

What you are feeling is only infatuation, caused by unconscious psychological issues that release chemicals (serotonin and oxytocin) into our brain that make us "high" and obsess about the other person.
IF you got together with him, the infatuation would die out anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 years. It always does do to the body mechanism is "homeostasis".

So you are caught up in a fantasy.
And because you can't get together with him, there is no reality to show you it is just a fantasy.

Get some counseling. Otherwise you could hurt and yearn and itch like this for the REST of your life. You don't want that. Life is too short to spend years being needlessly miserable.

And JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OVER HIM, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T. It is NOT impossible to get over him . .you just don't want to get over him.
Usually this indicates some unconscious self-hatred, where we choose and hang onto something that will only make us miserable. Because we hate ourselves deep inside, we wish to hurt ourselves.

Going onto YouTube only conditions your obsession more. It's like the ruts that the covered wagons made as people moved West .. over and over, wheels made deeper and deeper ruts in the prairie dirt.
And EVERY TIME you go on YouTube, you are making YOUR ruts deeper.
And you are punishing yourself ..
It's like a mosquito bite. Yes there is an itch. And so we scratch. IF we are paying attention to the result, we notice that now it itches MORE. So we stop scratching.
If we are not paying attention, we only notice that while we are scratching it doesn't itch so much. But we fail to notice that if itches MORE afterwards. So we scratch again. And again. And soon when we scratch we are breaking open the skin. And the next scratch removes the scam and we start to bleed, and the next scratch ..
honey .. going on You Tube is scatching your "itch" and making it worse.
At some point you have to grow up enough to stop scatching that itch. For your own sake.

Honey, you can get over this.
Get some counseling.

....So you're an obsessed fangirl? Maaaaaybe you would have a chance. With his dead corpse. If you stole it.
Aside from me being an a hole, I hope you're playing around because this isn't healthy at all. You aren't in love, you just think you are. You obviously know nothing about love. No one is going to be able to help you, because you aren't going to do any of the things that could help you. I would suggest destroying your computer and getting a real boyfriend.

You're in love with someone famous? So basically a celebrity you've never met?
I'm sorry but that's not love. That is infatuation. You can't love someone until you personally know them really well, who they are when the camera's not watching.
And you don't want to hear this either but: you need to unsubscribe. Unsubscribe from his YouTube and Twitter account and any other social media he has. Delete your accounts if you have to. Take down any posters you have. Get rid of any books or magazines or movies or ANYTHING really that reminds you of him. Try to get out more. Get with friends or find a hobby away from social media.
This is what you need to move on. You already know you can't have him. You already know what you have to do. Often what we don't want to do is what we need to do to get over someone, but hopefully you realize you need to stop this now so you can find someone you can actually be with.
Good luck; you can do it! BELIEVE in yourself.

Awh hun! Ahaa, we've all been there and then you start to hate how much you like them, it feels hopeless right. I hate to say it but the likelyhood of it happening is small, I know, your reading this and your heart is sinking isn't it? It feels like love but it sounds like you've gotten to the stage of hopeless obsession and that isn't fun. I know!
I'm not saying move on, but I am saying maybe you're so busy chasing someone that barely notices that you missing the people that love you in the way you love him.
