So I know they're must be atleast one other person in the world just like me. So I can go on asking this question. How do you deal with the constant pressure of that certain female on your mind?

LOL i know your thinking LOL. I find it hard to work with this chick always on my mind. How can i blot her out of my mind? How do you do it? If any of you guys or girls who knows what i feels like to have a girl to spend time with and be straight A student then you know its a 175% Energy effort.

It's like I don't want to get calloused and mean towards her ( like I do to EVERYONE when I'm in learning mode).

They don't call academia a discipline for nothing.

First off there's no need to behave in a callous or mean manner to anyone. Studying is obviously a high priority for you, so the trick when anyone interfers with it is to communicate that you have specific time dedicated to your studies. It's not that hard to do this in a respectful manner.

Secondly, to address the main concern: what happens when you can't stop thinking about someone in particular and you lose focus? Again it comes down to discipline. If you don't already have it, you likely need to dedicate some specific time towards this person and use it in a constructive and positive manner. If you find yourself daydreaming too much, maybe you need a break. Call her or email her, invite her out for a walk or coffee. Then get back to your task at hand.

I understand the importance of managing distractions and maintaining focus in order to achieve our goals. In this situation, it may be helpful to first acknowledge that it is normal to have someone on your mind, especially if you have a strong connection with them. However, it is also important to find a balance between your personal life and your work or studies.

One approach could be to set specific times for yourself to think about this person, such as during breaks or after work/school hours. This can help you compartmentalize your thoughts and allow you to focus on your work when needed. Additionally, engaging in activities or hobbies that bring you joy and fulfillment can also help to alleviate some of the pressure and allow you to relax and clear your mind.

Another helpful strategy could be to practice mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to help you stay present and focused in the moment. This can also help to reduce the intensity of your thoughts about this person.

Ultimately, finding a balance between your personal life and your work/studies is important for your overall well-being and success. It may also be helpful to seek support from a trusted friend or professional if you feel overwhelmed or are having difficulty managing your thoughts and emotions.
