It's one of the worst feelings in the world…even worse when someone you have an inappropriate crush on (and you are keeping those feelings to yourself as much as you can) brings up your crush and despite not returning those feelings at all, begins to use your feelings against you. As in, using your feelings to get favors or just bask in the glory of having your adoration for them and then at the end of the day that they never wanted to be with you in the first place.

Hell, ALL crushes are like this! This is why I don't share my feelings anymore, but people just bring it up anyway in order to use it against me.

And of course, I now have yet another inappropriate crush on yet another professor (the former crush I mentioned, wasn't a professor but I've had too many crushes on professors) and I can't help but think that if people my age who were available/single would give me a real chance, then maybe I wouldn't constantly have inappropriate crushes. It's hard not to ever have a crush on anyone...
