A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient

I was scared of being like this but then I realised,that the difference between a obsessed person and a person who truld loves you is that a person who is obsessed only cares about them and that they have you,meanwhile a person who loves you truly,wants you to be happy, and if you are in a relationship or ended a realtionship they keep a respectful distance and make sure that they dint cross bounderies

In Psychology, limerence is a state of involuntary intense romantic desire for another person. Did you know Limerence is similar to love in some ways, but it's not quite the same.

[@xnala2831]

Kind of curiosity, I want to text with a person I like constantly, but knowing it is wrong, so i end up longing for the person. This still count as limerence, correct?

[@thelordcommander5]

My limerance-antics came from my attachment wounds. I have c-PTSD and recovering. I was very exhausting to be around with and it also took a strain on me because I was desperately searching for a safe home and love outside of myself, especially from emotional unavailable people. It felt like an addiction and I believe I was addicted to my own stresshormones without realizing it. Now I am single for about two years now and I have to say: I like myself more.

Happened to me for 2 years. This girl had a crush on me and at first, I thought that it was just a small crush and she'll get over it after she tried finding ways to talk to me or randomly popping up where I was. After a while, anyone would notice. I thought she'd give up when I displayed absolutely zero interest in her but it got worse. It got to the point of her lying about us being in a relationship and telling people that *I'm* the one whose infatuated with her and that I only see her despite us barely ever talking. One girl even noticed this and asked her then why have I not looked or even talked to her to which she kept quiet. People who dream of having someone whose obsessed with them shouldn't. The person is obsessed with the image they have of you. This girl even once claimed to her friends that I had some sort of abilities. Yes, I mean superpowers. How? I'll never know. If communication doesn't work, ignore them, seek help from friends, talk to a guardian or a trustworthy adult. If all else fails, consider reporting it to officials. Honestly glad my case wasn't those ones where the person stalks or kidnaps you. Won't dive any further into detail just in case she finds this

[@weehweehsnack3193]

Damn. I started having a crush on a guy from a friend group I was getting into. Never allowed myself to have a crush up until that point (always suppressed the feelings until they went away), but I thought that maybe it’s time to break old patterns and to just let myself get into it - maybe he would like me back? Well…that small crush quickly developed into limerence. I was so nervous every time I saw him, felt nauseous even. Physical contact OVERLOAD. Constantly tried to force conversation, ran after him like a dog etc. A year later, I have now fortunately woken up from my fever dream and I am so glad that there is an actual term for what happened to me. Will definitely do further research on this. I’ll see him at an event in 2 weeks and I don’t know how to act, now that I’m “back to normal”. I think I’m just gonna hit him with a biiig apology since I can imagine now how uncomfortable I must have made him for the past year.

[@CACgaming007]

Maybe you need some hobbies. If you can only think about one person, why not think about yourself for a minute and decide that I don't need to care about him so much, but still enough to make him important, and focus on things (if you have any at all) that are actually important to me? Like hobbies or friends.

[@M_Uchiha]

@@chesscrater6331 These are my hobbies: Dancing, Singing, being in a musical with training 2-4 times a week, Drawing, Skating, Gaming, Cosplaying, Stitching and 3D Modelling. Do you still think I need hobbies? I'm also in university and I'm studying a lot, that's why I'm getting straight A's, I graduated at the top of my year for my Bachelor's (got a 100%) and now I'm in my Master's with the same result. But I'm only seeing my boyfriend every other weekend because of that. So duh of course I'm thinking a lot about him, because he's the love of my life and the most wonderful person I've ever known. When I'm with him, life feels so much better but well we don't see each other often. So no I'm definitely not the type of person described in this video, even if I'm thinking a lot about my boyfriend. That's just what love is. Like seeing something that reminds me of him or seeing a gift that he might like. Or thinking about our future.

[@RadiantMantra]

After meeting a person like this, it was buddhist teachings that taught me how Loving someone is wishing for them to be happy Fake love is wishing for the other person to make YOU happy. Attachment and desire lead to suffering, and they'd be putting their happiness in the hands of another, in this case, us.

[@EIizabethGrace]

Umm, love, that’s way above the pay grade of a KZbin channel run by people who don’t know the first thing about you or your situation. What you describe is really extreme behavior that probably goes well beyond just the symptom of limerence, too. I would recommend you bring these concerns to a therapist who can actually help you out.

[@sofialuna6210]

Not to be one of those people who diagnose over one Internet comment, but it does sound like you could have a "favorite person". I know it happens a lot to people with BPD, but maybe it could apply to you as well? Basically, it means that you have one super special person which you love/like very very intensely, to the point that your feelings about the world and yourself change depending on whether you are on good terms or not. When things are going OK with this person, everything feels good and nice. But if things are going wrong, or if you perceive they are rejecting you in some way, you feel absolutely disheartened. To the point you might try to manipulate or punish them in order for them to like you again. It's like your world revolves around them, and it usually leads to extreme behavior in order to keep them in your life.

[@thedeff321]

I'm actually glad I came across this video! I've only recently started putting myself back out there. I went out for the first time with a girl, and I found myself really attaching myself internally towards her, and perhaps started showing some of these signs that were mentioned. However, I am catching myself doing this, and so I've been taking a step back to really think about what I'm doing and if it's healthy or not. Basically I'm fighting against my strong emotions, but I do need to keep myself in check or else I could find myself really going down this road of Limerence. Hence I'm glad I came across this video which helped me make some sense of what I've been feeling, and how to proceed in a healthier way, even though it's easier said than done 😅 I really do like this girl, but she said she was moving soon, and so, I had to really respect her decisions for herself, and try to calm my feelings towards her down. It just sucks because she really is an incredible person 😔

[@Aboguaboga]

Talk to her about what you’re thinking before it does go into limerence, sometimes just having an answer helps tremendously. As someone who has fallen for this a few times and tried what you are suggesting, it makes it 10x worse because now you don’t actually know the person, you can’t stop thinking about them, and on top of that you have the “what if” regret. Talk to her about what you’re thinking and if it continues or gets worse, talk to a therapist. You can most likely nip it in the bud since it probably isn’t full on limerance yet

[@sarahn.h355]

This is my ex. No effort once I was actually in a relationship with him, but after a breakup- all the things. And definitely wouldn’t take no for n answer. He always assumed we’d get back together. Took me getting married and moving to a foreign country to get him to leave me alone.

Regardless of whether it’s going to be “true love” this time, its not healthy to depend so heavily on an idealized relationship that you don’t engage in the most basic acts of human functioning if you don’t have that stimulus. You need to work on the underlying issues, love, not just ride the high that comes with indulging the symptoms. Especially not when we’re talking about symptoms that can cause so much hurt and trauma to yourself and others. I hope you’re seeing a therapist, but if not, I would recommend you do that.

Me clicking and watching this video just to find out that my last toxic relationship was EXACTLY this. I went through someone who was blinded with limerence, and honestly it is so exhausting. And it is the reason I am still on an ongoing 7 month self care break, to which I will hopefully get to a year

[@dariaelie50]

I actually really did like him I even grew to love him because we spent so much time together but the intensity at the beginning literally shocked me. I had never experienced that before. I didn’t know about limerence either and I didn’t think it was harmful I had been limerent before so I wanted to hold space for that.

[@samalexkoshy2877]

I thought I was in love with my last crush, but seeing this video makes me question myself. A lot of these points were there, though it was more mild than the examples given here.

[@martinezdasilva213]

Psych2go helped me alot😢

[@devantehodge2420]

I’ve just been pushing everyone away at this point …. Feels like it’s easier lol

[@0ld_Scratch]

What I've gathered from these videos is that eventually everything you do is bad or wrong, so why bother.

[@IrisKarls]

Way to justify your actions

[@chloepalm]

Im in loveeee, and i cant tell if im delusional or not😭

[@nolongerhooman2341]

I used to be this way... Thank goodness I broke free! The after-effects remain though, still lingering and ruining it for me

[@DevinJHiggins]

I've spent the past few years working with therapists on how to change my behavior away from Limerence, which I developed as a kid to overcompensate for being abandoned by my family. It's easier than most people think to start out in a position of genuine attraction/love for someone and have it devolve into Limerence due to trauma-induced anxiety and fear over rejection/abandonment. That cost me a potential relationship with someone I loved very much, and over a decade later, I haven't dared go back into that arena again because I don't want the cycle to continue.

[@ChristinaMoralesMindfuqed]

This happens to me with friends!!!!!!! They get waayyyyy more attached to me than I do to them 😭

[@MacMasterOfficial]

In my opinion, watching from a distance it's kinda sweet I feel like I can see the intention behind everything and it would be kinda flattering to be with you and if you aren't willing to put in the same sort of effort then that's when it could seem overly clingy and concerning But as for me, person of my dreams 🥰

[@solvecoagula3413]

My ex-girlfriend were all of these, except for the idealizing-part. She often ridiculed me, and tried to change me. But after the relationship, i developed some kind of phobia for needy/clingy people

[@markromero1544]

this can happen by being led on. still there is only so much you can do to gain a date before moving on.

[@driftingdruid]

some of these can come from autistic individuals (diagnosed or undiagnosed) feeling an intense passion towards you (usually as a result of our isolation from multiple experiences of social rejection, then finally being accepted by someone after a long social drought of sorts). the behaviors you might observe from one such autistic individual: - "constant contact" (we can still be educated on respecting boundaries and timing messages for "this is when i'm usually available") - "loss of identity" (laser-beam focus of getting to know you to the point that they want to study everything about you. might not actually be a total loss of sense of self, just tends to come across as an obsession) - kinda but maybe not "can't take no for an answer" (we do question &/or debate to try to understand why we're refused, but our questioning is not necessarily a refusal of your refusal, we're just trying to understand. usually after clarifying the why and how of the what, we can understand, presuming that the autistic individual involved has enough maturity and emotional stability to meet halfway in this conversation)

[@KingofSchubi]

I feel sad that most of these signs apply to me except for the last 2 I would say and even more sad that you suggest a break up at the end :( because I love my partner so much

[@arenschultz]

I’ve been on both ends of this in my 20’s. It’s hard

[@jamestullis6522]

Yep never gonna have to deal with this lmao

[@khrisbreezy3628]

CLASSIC SCHMOSBY!!!😂😂😂

[@xxtimeisthefireinwhichweburnxx]

I used to call my wife from work for years and years just to hear her and check on her and my son. I've been "into" lots of things in my life, but my woman has been the sole object of my desire for more than half my life and ain't nobody "into" me anymore. I wouldn't know if anyone was into me to begin with, but I have experienced and am guilty of this "limerance" stuff at places I've worked. I was fool for thinking I could find something lost in someone else...

[@Z3R0_forever]

I have a request video I’ve subscribed already and i wonder can you make a video about how someone with bad mental health get help but struggles to how do i get help without saying i need help?

[@Laindal]

No, no, no, no, no, no and no. Damn...😢

[@Kellbellgurl]

I have experienced something like this but there was immediate stalking from the beginning.

[@nelliebellie2222]

Same experienced it twice before both school and work 😭

[@ruby38281]

I getting mixed feelings from my crush, he always says hello to me when we see eachother in the hall and does some other things that makes it feel like he likes me but then he keeps moving to seats further away from me in class

[@SkullSkGamingTV]

This opened my eyes thank you so much

[@mathewantony8114]

guys i thought i had limerence but after watching this video, i think i was in love💀💀💀

[@snowy5133]

What's the song in the background?! I heard it before & I never knew the name of ittt

[@niasiamack9333]

So true

[@zackoisbacko6277]

Watchig this as if Im not the one constantly chatting people 💀

[@omegabkg]

You also need a taken consideration that people especially males are extremely lonely & many are either ghosted or turned down so you can expect it to amplify

[@Moonlight-su6kl]

Cute ☺️ characters.

[@user-gd3vi7wo5t]

I called this immaturity

[@chibigirl8545]

I feel like this can be applicable to non romantic relationships as well.

[@vito6197]

Wow, something I can actually relate to in this channel. I have someone who is like this with me. They're doing exactly the things in point 1, 3, and 6.

[@sonzai5162]

A feeling I'll never understand

[@jeisonaguilar3530]

I just find out that I was limering so hard , almost every sign. Damm 💀💀

[@ggomi4551]

I feel like I was limerant but its hard to say if I actually was. Originally, I had friends I made at the start of the school year, but I gave them all up whenever I met him because I wanted to spend more time with him, and in order to do that, I felt like I had to be friends with his friends as well because they would literally never be apart from each other. And its not like I hated his friends either, our interests matched well and they were funny people I enjoyed playing video games with. Thats something I look in for all my friends, people that play video games that are good at it, which is why I was willing to give up my previous group of friends. Because they played games, but they weren’t good at it. I wouldnt say I lost my sense of self, my boy friend and I had a lot of similarities so I never felt the need to change who I was for him, like adapting my interests and stuff, although he did influence me changing what I wanted to be majoring in but I feel like that was inevitable. I originally wanted to go to dental, but him wanting to be a nuclear engineer made me realize my 7th grade dream of being an aerospace engineer was possible because 1. I would be smarter than him if we were in the same grad year (he was taking calc 1 as a senior, I would be in Calc IV) and 2. i was more creative than him. Those were the two factors that drove me away from engineer and made me want to major in dental. Because I thought I was too dumb and not creative enough to be an engineer. But he wasnt really the only factor that drove the change so I dont think that counts as me being limerant. I changed because I plan on graduating my junior year, its coming up pretty fast and I only technically have one year left to decide between medical and engineer so that lead me to think of pros and cons. I realized I didnt want all the other responsibilities of being a dentist, because that requires me to be a leader, and a business woman who has to manage finances, manage and operate the office on top of keeping my workers happy and keeping on top of the newest dental technology to further my craft. Id rather work for someone and not have to worry about all the extra leadership and financing. I freaked out whenever my boyfriend didn’t text me back for 4 or more hours because I know he’d check his phone often and be scrolling on reddit, so I guess I just thought that if he has enough time doing that, why wont he shoot me back a quick text? Because more often then not, after leaving me unread for four other more hours, and one of his friends text in the group chat, he’d reply to them immediately and proceed not to reply to me. Over time, it became increasingly frustrating for me and Id practically demand time from him, of course to which he said no. Because he’d always be hanging out with his friends or whenever he said he’d work on homework, his friends would drag him outside to have fun, and his homework time would chip into his time with me so whenever we hung out, it would always just be him working on homework. Which led to our breakup.

[@TheChainTV]

When a girl thats too in to that is cute, but when its the opposite thats creepy
