There’s a person that goes to my school that I’m sort of friends with. We partake in some of the same activities so we see each other maybe a few times a week, and occasionally walk to the bus together.

Every time I see them I get a horrible feeling in my stomach, as if something frightened me. Every time I even just see their face on social media my mind goes into a depressive state and my eyes tear up. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way, considering they’re a fine person and have done nothing wrong. We have great conversations and they’re a pretty insightful individual.

However, I literally just want school to end so that I don’t have to see or talk to this person.

I hate that my mood is contingent on the pure act of just seeing this person. I can talk to them normally, although sometimes I get nervous. I don’t have any romantic interest in them or anything, but I don’t understand why my mind is so obsessed with this person.
