Hi, Lifebabblers. Today, we're babbling about something

0:00:090:00:12

which can be super exciting

0:00:120:00:13

and super awkward - having a crush on someone.

0:00:130:00:17

As we grow up, our body changes and so do our feelings.

0:00:180:00:21

We can experience all sorts of new feelings and sometimes

0:00:210:00:24

they can be confusing or a bit overwhelming.

0:00:240:00:27

A crush is when you have strong feelings for another person.

0:00:270:00:30

You really like them, much more than a friend.

0:00:300:00:32

You might think about them a lot or want to see them all the time.

0:00:320:00:35

Although you might find it hard to tell them that.

0:00:350:00:38

A crush can feel really intense,

0:00:380:00:40

but it's normal to have those feelings as we get older.

0:00:400:00:43

Just enjoy it.

0:00:430:00:44

PHONE RINGS

0:00:440:00:45

When I saw my crush, my face would go really, really red.

0:00:450:00:49

I began to worry about, like,

0:00:490:00:51

saying the wrong thing and the right thing.

0:00:510:00:53

I'd be scared and, like, awkward and feel nervous.

0:00:530:00:56

I learnt to just be myself and that it's normal to feel this way.

0:00:560:01:00

Crushes.

0:01:020:01:04

No, the other kind.

0:01:040:01:06

No, like the fancying kind.

0:01:060:01:10

Yes, exactly. How are you supposed to handle that?

0:01:100:01:13

One day, you're totally fine, doing your own thing, the next, bam!

0:01:130:01:17

Someone amazing comes along and suddenly your feelings are

0:01:170:01:21

all over the place and you're excited and nervous and giddy

0:01:210:01:25

and embarrassed and all at the same time. It's like... I don't know.

0:01:250:01:31

Exactly!

0:01:320:01:34

If you do tell someone you like them,

0:01:350:01:37

then you probably hope they feel the same way,

0:01:370:01:39

but if they don't, that's how they feel, it's not about you.

0:01:390:01:43

You might feel sad or embarrassed or even angry,

0:01:430:01:47

but over time those feelings will fade.

0:01:470:01:49

Sometimes you might have crushes on people you could never have a

0:01:490:01:53

relationship with in real life,

0:01:530:01:56

like a pop star, a sports coach or a teacher.

0:01:560:01:59

It's normal to have feelings like this,

0:01:590:02:01

but it's important to recognise that it's a crush.

0:02:010:02:05

If your crush is a grown-up, they should never encourage you.

0:02:050:02:09

When things don't work out how you planned,

0:02:110:02:13

It's really hard to understand.

0:02:130:02:16

A person you hoped would really care doesn't feel the same

0:02:160:02:18

And it's just not fair.

0:02:180:02:20

Hurt and sadness last a while,

0:02:200:02:22

But then they fade and you start to smile.

0:02:220:02:24

Disappointment goes and you feel brand-new.

0:02:240:02:26

You might not believe it, but it's true.

0:02:260:02:28

# I think I've got a crush

0:02:300:02:33

# I don't know if I should tell them

0:02:360:02:39

# All I know is I really like them

0:02:390:02:42

# I think I'll just tell my best friend

0:02:420:02:45

# It's an odd feeling but it's so exciting...

0:02:450:02:50

# ..I've got a crush. #

PHONE RINGS

0:02:560:02:58

I once had a crush on a boy I worked on a show with,

0:02:580:03:01

so I felt really, really nervous around him.

0:03:010:03:04

When the show was over,

0:03:040:03:05

he didn't talk to me any more and I was really sad.

0:03:050:03:09

I hadn't seen him in quite a while, so I got over him quite quickly.

0:03:090:03:12

I can't remember a time in school when I didn't have

0:03:130:03:16

a crush on someone. Not that I ever really acted on any of them,

0:03:160:03:19

it was just fun.

0:03:190:03:20

You need to realise that just because you have

0:03:200:03:22

a crush on someone doesn't mean that they are obliged to like you back,

0:03:220:03:25

so you might need to prepare for some heartbreak occasionally.

0:03:250:03:29

Even though it can get awkward if you find out that someone

0:03:290:03:32

has a crush on you and you don't feel the same way about them,

0:03:320:03:35

always be kind, let them down gently.

0:03:350:03:37

There's no need to be mean.

0:03:370:03:39

That's all for this Lifebabble.
