<human>: I have an issue with projecting fantasies onto women. There is one girl that I work with, and we talked a bit, and before I know it, I have all these fantasies in my head with her....I would go out of my way just to talk to her because it would make my day.

I built this fantasy in my head and put her on a pedestal, but I know for a FACT that she doesn't see me as anything more than just a coworker. She has a boyfriend as well.

Anyways, I realized how delusional and unhealthy having this fantasy was, so I immediately stopped going out of my way to talk to her. If we bump in the halls I'll say Hi and exchange small talk, but nothing more than that. Anyway, I kinda feel like a jerk for not talking to her at work anymore (to be fair I don't really talk to anyone), but this is the only thing I can do to stop projecting. I wonder if she even notices whether I have stopped talking to her as much?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
