Crushing can also mean pounding to bits or grinding up. Your ego can take a real beating when you have a crush. Maybe it got called a crush in reference to the way it can scatter your normally well-balanced psyche.

You might feel this kind of crushed when you discover that the person you have a crush on doesn't feel the same way about you. I imagined someone crashing heedlessly into my crush, smashing it into tiny shards and not even knowing the mess they left behind.
