I miss my ex teacher and well......... Please just answer....

Question

I had a teacher last year that I very much looked up to, and I miss him. He helped me through several rough patches in my life without even realizing it. I'm a quiet person, I don't talk much. I don't think I probably said more than 20 words to the guy all year. I'm not the kind of person to tell him how I feel, or go visit, or email or anything. I keep to myself and he knows that. I don't think he knows how much I appreciated him. I constantly hope that I run into him somewhere, and he starts a conversation so that I can bring it up, but it's just not going to happen. NO, I don't have a crush on him. Is this weird that I feel this way? Any suggestions to stop from thinking of him all of the time? No nasty answers please. It's just a waste of your time and mine.

Answer 1

I am a teacher and only hope to some day impact one child in the same way he did to you.

I think the reason you can not stop thinking about him is because you have not expressed yourself to him.

You want to and do not know how to.

Just do it - send him a card, an email, . . . .

Tell him that you thank him for all her did for you!!!!!

Answer 2

No wayy you're just feeling thankful. I had a history teacher whom i looked up to all the time. She sadly past away in a car accident. So you can imagine how I felt. You should drop in sometime and just say hello and thats it GOOD LUCK,

Answer 3

it doesn't really help to just sit around beating your brain for thinking of him. you can do either of the two: finally talk to him or get someone who would touch your life the way he did. as long as you know that he was special because he did something for you that nobody else did, chances are, you won't get rid of him ever.

Answer 4

Just email the guy and say something short like, "Hey, I just wanted to say hi.  I hope you had a good summer.  Se ya."  It will help you to not fixate so much.  If he responds, you will feel better.

Answer 5

Don't worry Annie at least now I know how you felt about my teaching. I truly admire you. :)  Thanks for being a good student.  

Answer 6

Not at all, I have always hoped I was able to make that impact with some of my students. It is awesome that a teacher was able to do that for you!
