Believe me, when I first caught feelings I did everything I could to convince myself that it wasn’t real. I have a mental disorder (being vague here on purpose) that makes me process crushes differently than people without it, so I hung onto that for a while.
No need to be vague about mental illness. I am pretty open about mine as I’m bipolar. Mental illness is a no-fault condition and should be neither shameful nor taboo.
Well, at least you’re being honest self and not being cognitively dissonant. Honestly is always the best course of action.

No, I’m being vague about it bc it’s basically a personality trait of mine that I tell to everyone, so it could be used as an identifier.
