Remember that human beings are wicked
Remind yourself that the heart of every single gender that exists is wicked. Go to one of those and read the shege people who鈥檝e caught feelings are seeing. Your eye will clear.
Think about the breakfast that awaits you
If you want to truly stop catching feelings, remember what popular philosopher, Burna Boy, said, 鈥淟ast last, na everybody go chop breakfast.鈥 The fear of heartbreak will make all feelings disappear.
Travel
The plan is to catch flights, not feelings. What are you doing? My friend, bring out your passport and start travelling the world. By the time you鈥檙e sipping a Mai Tai in Cape Point, you鈥檒l forget about the person you鈥檙e supposed to be falling for.
Read their messages
Yes, this is an invasion of privacy, but there鈥檚 a high chance you鈥檒l see something that鈥檒l give you immediate chest pain that鈥檒l make the feelings disappear. And isn鈥檛 that the goal here? Either you find out they鈥檙e saying rubbish about you in the group chat, or they鈥檙e interested in someone else, it鈥檚 better to know before the feelings get too deep.
Tell your friends
Make sure you let them know all the red flags and why you shouldn鈥檛 be liking them. Friends are best at convincing us to cancel and block any person causing us stress and pain.
Remind yourself that a bad bitch doesn鈥檛 catch feelings
Stand in front of a mirror, beat your chest three times, and say, 鈥淚鈥檓 a bad bitch, and I don鈥檛 do feelings. So I鈥檒l stop having feelings for *insert name*鈥. Repeat this every day for three days, and you鈥檒l be fine.
Write an epistle
Send the person an epistle telling them how you feel about them. Their one word/sentence reply will annoy the feelings out of you.
Use jazz
For some reason, people use jazz to make other people fall in love with them. Well, your case is different. You can鈥檛 be catching feelings in these streets, abeg. Time to find your nearest babalawo.
Just accept it
Why are you trying to stop what鈥檚 meant to be? Embrace the feelings happily. If you see shege, it鈥檚 okay. It鈥檚 part of life.
