Every time I see a girl I have a crush in on now I get depressed instantly. I get depressed when I think about girls. I have a crush on a girl in my class right now and I find her adorable but I can't talk to her because I hate myself and have no confidence. There's a longer back story to this but I am not going to post it here. If you want to hear more about why this is how it is send me a PM.

That in bold is probably what you need to work on first.

Perhaps you are afraid that you will hit it off with this girl, she'll get to know you, then dump you.

Does this occur with all women? Or just the ones you find attractive?

Can you talk to women that are attractive, yet unavailable (married, etc.)?

I feel for you.

I feel for you man. I was the same way for years, and still slightly am. You must work on your confidence and insecurities first. I suggest going and seeing a therapist and opening up about all the reasons you are the way you are so you can work on the underlying causes properly.

I know. I want to not have a crush on any girls right now because I won't be able to talk to any until I work on that. I don't know why I still have crushes.

I can talk to girls I don't like or have a crush on but if I find a girl attractive or like her I can't talk to her.

What if you were to say hello and she were to say hello back? Would that terrify you? What if you were to ask her to study together? And she said YES? Would that terrify you?

I can't even smile at her in class. That's not possible.

Hmm.. This may sound harsh but it sounds like you don't know her well enough to have a "crush". Could this be an infatuation based on looks? Do you have any friends that are girls that you can practice conversing with?
No one is better than you. No one is above you or below you. And you are only not good enough when YOU decide you aren't good enough. Girls will overlook a lottttt when a man acts (or fakes) confidence.

I mean lots of guys have crushes on girls they don't know. You just can't "like" someone unless you know them. Most of the time for me I suddenly have a crush on a girl out of nowhere. I never am expecting it. This girl I have a crush on now seems very intelligent from what she has said in class (I cannot stand unintelligent girls) and she also is very cute in my opinion. I tried to smile today because somehow we made eye contact for a bit during class but I couldn't do it. I do agree with the confidence thing. A few years ago I met this girl and I got her number the same day. I faked that confidence completely, but I then proceeded to mess that up unfortunately shortly thereafter. I don't really have any friends who are girls honesty. I only have 3 or 4 friends who are guys.
