Well, at least you're being honest self and not being cognitively dissonant. Honestly is always the best course of action.
Believe me, when I first caught feelings I did everything I could to convince myself that it wasn't real. I have a mental disorder (being vague here on purpose) that makes me process crushes differently than people without it, so I hung onto that for a while.
No need to be vague about mental illness. I am pretty open about mine as I'm bipolar. Mental illness is a no-fault condition and should be neither shameful nor taboo.
No, I'm being vague about it bc it's basically a personality trait of mine that I tell to everyone, so it could be used as an identifier.
Ah okay. I can respect that.
