Knowing whether you're pushing your crush away can be tricky, as it often involves picking up on subtle signs in their behavior. If your crush starts to seem less interested, more distant, or doesn’t engage in conversations as much as before, these could be indicators that something is off.

One of the clearest signs is a change in communication. If your crush is taking longer to respond to texts or seems less enthusiastic during conversations, this could mean that something you’re doing is causing them to pull back. Additionally, if they begin to make less effort to see you or spend time with you, they may be withdrawing.

Body language is another major indicator. If your crush seems less engaged during face-to-face interactions, avoiding eye contact, or showing closed-off body language (such as crossed arms or minimal gestures), it could be a sign they feel distanced or uncomfortable.

However, it’s important not to jump to conclusions. Sometimes external factors, like personal stress, could explain a crush’s distant behavior. Instead of assuming you’re pushing them away, consider having an open and honest conversation about where things stand. Asking for feedback in a calm and non-accusatory manner can give you clarity on how your crush really feels.
