Rejection

I do not take rejection well at all. I have had a crush on a man for a long time, even though we have never talked to each other. For a long period of time he would look at me and give me signals that he liked me, but that has since stopped. I have tried to think of someone else who I might like, but somehow my mind always seems to wander back to this man. Part of me wants to stop liking him and move on, but I don’t know how. I’m afraid to tell anyone about this, because once I spoke of things to a friend, but when we parted ways she told everybody everything I had told her in confidence. This usually brings down my self-confidence. My parents say that they worry that I have emotional issues and want me to see a psychologist instead of a therapist. Why? I have emotional issues, not psychological issues!
