angsting over the fact that your celebrity crush doesn't even know your existence all day isn't really a good sign is it?

Oh darling, no, it's really not a good sign, not at all.

Try to get your grip back on reality: go out with friends, family, interact with actual people, get away from your computer (thus photos/news of your celebrity crush). You need to get back on earth.

oh then that means that I have got nothing left in my life. My (very few) online friends, fanfics that cheer me up when I am feeling down, etc, etc. The internet is practically the only thing that connects me to the world. And without it, I am nothing. Yeah I am pretty fucked right now. Plus this ridiculous crush I've developed over the past few months. It's getting out of my hand. Really. fuck.

*hug* Calm down, maybe it's not as bad as you think... :)

Let's see: I don't know how you usually are around people, do you have a job or go to a friendly school that would make you want to be out with people more? If you like to read maybe even going to the library could help, just to help you be out of the house and away from your computer for a while. If you're not a people person, you could try leaving your computer switched off to do something else around the house (read, write, draw, clean, play, do yoga) and use it only for a limited time, say a couple of hours: limited time could help you decide to use that time to speak with your online friends and read fanfic instead of looking up news and photos of your celebrity crush.

You think any of this could work?

Hmmm, I'd say depends on your views on stalking.

No, but at least you're aware of it. Which is more than I can say about some fans.

You know what cures a celebrity crush? Go out with your friends and start having a social life. Easier said than done, but if you're angsting over a celebrity, it's a sign that you're neglecting your own life. I mean, who needs that celebrity if you've got flesh and blood real people around you that you like and are geniunely awesome?

It's all fantasy and projecting your ideals on others, you don't know what that celebrity is really like. For all we know, they probably secretly pick their nose, have a drinking problem, passive aggressive and smoke twelve ciggerettes a day. I crush on BC often, but then I think, eww...he smokes and likely smells revolting, celebrity crush angst cured! :o)

It's never ever going to happen. They're not going to respond to you, about anything, ever. To you they are just a picture on a screen, and to them you are a tiny percentage of audience share who's e-mail or letters get just as much attention as the other several thousand they get each day.

Give it up, move on, stop talking about them. Talk to your family, friends, co-workers about other things, develop other interests and move on. See a counsellor about why you've invested so much in a person who will never respond to you. The person is an addiction, and you need to stop this before it gets any worse than it already is.
