But what if you’re the one being obsessed over but the obsessed person is an alcoholic/addict. I love him but I can’t take this anymore. This is so unhealthy. If I don’t give him what he wants, he’ll drink or do drugs. This is hell. I feel responsible so I’m having a very hard time breaking free. I’m scared of being with him and scared of letting go! I don’t know what to do. I get so angry and block him and then unblock him when I calm down and start worrying. But, now he’s stopped trying to contact me. I hope he’s ok

I thought I was the only one torturing myself 😵‍💫

[@Seattlegal2]

If humans are illogical and love is fickle (along with the prevalence of a throw-away culture), what’s the point of dating? Serious question. Is the pain worth the reward? And is there a reward anymore? Seems everyone wants shallow superficial connections to deep and meaningful. I’m so confused. Anyone else?

[@SusanWinter]

I know that it can feel like that. It has certainly degraded as have our manners and civil behavior around dating. However, there are many people who feel as you do. There are fine individuals who want a quality relationship with a meaningful connection. Hang in there. Please don’t let the negative make you fount the positive

[@LiteratiMuffin]

@@SusanWinter Thanks for those thoughtful words, Susan. I’ve been trying to find a way to stop thinking that way as well

[@larissagonzales6075]

I feel the exact way. I feel like giving up, it is so much work to weed out the wrong ones. I feel this way about finding good girlfriends too. Seems like humans, in general, are terrible at intimacy and connection.

[@blueblackhusky]

I so understand your frustration and exhaustion with this, because I sometimes also feel at wit's end with all of these people who don't know what they want. But I think searching is worth it, if only because a life of pain avoidance is a life lived in very small parameters. There is nothing wrong with wanting a pain-free life, and contentment and balance are wonderful things to strive for. They can, however, also be found in relationships - I've had the good fortune before (and feel very blessed by fortune for those experiences). I do agree that throwaway culture is a thing, a thing that makes people far less considerate with another's feelings, and that sucks. But you know what? People who are clear about their values _and_ have good values have always been around, will always be around, and won't be derailed into insensitivity by how the general population behaves. Yes, it definitely takes effort to weed out the fakes and the purely self-interested. However, facing this challenge only makes the prize sweeter when you do find those wonderful humans who, to quote Susan, want the same thing as you and want it with you. Also, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but a life of ups and downs is far more memorable and feels more vivid and rich than one lived in constantly safe but small parameters (take it from someone who suffers from anxiety of various kinds). I'm not saying this about ups and downs in order to defend rollercoaster situationships - those suck for sure - but to say that the search, with its excitement and hope paired with reality checks and sometimes incompatibility and sadness, may, retrospectively, make you feel better about a life lived fully. Even if you don't find the one for life, you A. will have had exposure to all kinds of people, and B. be able to say: I gave this my best shot. There is no guarantee of success, but you know how it goes - "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take". It's normal to feel depleted by the current dating landscape, and perhaps you could use a short break? But don't give up on your dream :) You yourself are worthy of getting your desires fulfilled, and, in the absence of that, to at least know you did your best for yourself. Even if that "best" means figuring out one day in the future that you're better off cultivating the connections to your friends and family. Just don't give up on searching for the best constellation for yourself :)

[@lifecoachkris1486]

Most of the time, when the connection that felt so great and suddenly left with no answers has nothing to do with you. They could be going through their own wounds, traumas and working on healing themselves, or they might have reconnected with their past connections. No one owes you any explanations or closures if that is what you are looking for, what you could do is make that firm choice to hold yourself in a loving place, love yourself enough to walk away. You are enough!💜

This is why we have to do the closure ourselves. It is very common to have a break up or be abandoned by someone who gives us no explanation. It’s impolite. It’s not kind. It’s thoughtless. But it happens. Knowing that, we need to do the work ourselves to free ourselves

He was surprised from my calm reaction. I did not mention anythijg about ghosting. Then i focused to recover my hurt side alone..and doing my best to do mindful decissions. The pain was severe as i was so happy and his ghosting was like pulling a rug from underneath because i never expected this lovely relation to end..nor this way.

I recently watched a video that explains the neuroscience behind this quite excellently, it was on Brianna McWilliam's channel. She very convincingly illustrates just how much emotional rollercoasters are like slot machines, and I'm saying this as a neuroscientist myself :) It helped me feel less self-conscious and less like it feeling so awful was somehow my "personal shortcoming". Understanding this helped me finally cut ties with that one friend that had been giving me mixed signals for ages but, whenever asked, always said they were not into anything serious, and then promised to never do the mixed signs again...which always lasted until a few months later.

[@alexandramaria7754]

Dear Susan, wonderful video as usual. I would add one more important topic. What about mental health issues? What about if the other person has mental health issues, and that's why their behavior is so incongruent? This is the reason why, I believe, we have to vet people first before we jump into a long-term commitment. That's why open conversations about substantial topics are so necessary to happen on first dates. The obsession begins because, at the very beginning, the ones who now left were in the dynamic too. Consciously or unconsciously seduced the person who is now obsessing, letting with "the void" and no explanation. Is this ok? Of course not! It is not ok. If we can't love for whatever reason or are afraid to love, we must communicate it. It takes courage, yes. But it is so necessary. It allows the other person to help you or move on in peace, knowing what was going on. We must learn that we have emotional responsibility towards another human being. Wishing you a wonderful week, Alexandra

[@SusanWinter]

Hi Alexandra. Fantastic to read your thoughts on this topic. And yes, mental health issues are an entirely different ball game. The experience can create automatic hot and cold, along with mixed messages. Regardless of the origin, we must be able to extract ourselves from the mental loop. Reframing the thoughts and catching them in the first place is off in the beginning of that transformation. Thanks again for your commentary

[@blueblackhusky]

Alexandra, I've noticed your comments on Susan's videos before, and I find it so cool that you analyze and think about these topics from so many angles. It's, I think, an enrichment for the world :) I'm obviously no dating specialist, but I've been in this kind of situation before, on both ends. All I can say is that mental health issues like depression and anxiety make for good explanations of someone's behavior, but the person who is confronted with a partner predisposed to these illnesses ought to carefully think for themselves whether they are okay with the proportion of their needs that this partner is able to fulfill for them. Also, having a mental illness that still leaves your logic and empathy mostly intact means you still have the responsibility to act considerately towards other people's feelings. Up to a certain degree of disease severity, I think it's not an excuse for behaving at the emotional maturity level of a 12-year-old and feeling entitled to other people constantly forgiving you while you don't work on yourself. (I only talk about these two mood disorders because I don't have experience with any others and barely any with personality disorders). Speaking from my experience, many conundrums and crises of depression and anxiety can be handled by communicating openly, vulnerably (with discernment) and both partners having a solution-oriented mindset. Of course, there always are different situations, so it's certainly wise to assess them on a case-by-case basis.

[@ScottH7651]

I'm going to have to keep looping this video. I took your advice and wrote down what I thought was the reason for the demise and I also took some time to compare and contrast to past relationships and breakups. I was able to see it in a new light. She spoke a lot (way too much) about past relationships and I tried to show her that I was a better man and therefore would win the prize. I tried too hard, doing some things I'd never done before, which was part of the problem. But there was no winning either way, not with this one. She wasn't who I wanted her to be. Bullet dodged.

Hoping that all of us are able to get out of this mess that we have inadvertently found ourselves in 😔

[@littlemissy8356]

Susan is easy to listen and learn from, because she is so kind in her delivery. Many happy awakenings.

[@fletcher447]

this was so great Susan and exactly what i needed to hear, infatuation can feel like groundhog day when not dealt with !! thank you so much

[@elle_aye112]

A year later and the spiral has only continued. It's been a nightmare. But I'm still trying. Am putting this video on a new playlist and will try to do even harder work within myself every day. I feel so destroyed.

[@yaqotbel1584]

Not my partner I wanted it to be But not my partner My partner wouldn't do this to me

[@robertschrader]

I wish I had seen this video about two years ago.

[@SusanWinter]

Robert., thanks for that. I wish I knew this 20 years ago

[@eljefe8235]

Thank you for this! Divorced after 20 yrs. and starting to date again. Quickly became too taken in by a woman who'd draw me in and then break dates. It left me confused, down on myself. Since watching this have been saying to myself "you're in the loop" whenever I begin to think of her/situation. It works! Able to concentrate and overall feel better. Journey back from divorce has been tough but you helped me take a step. Thank you!!

[@rustyrivers7118]

Changed their mind...yes that happens. But, more so than not...your partner was on the spectrum with a cluster b personality disorder. like, bpd or npd or perhaps some sort of CPTSD. Normal well adjusted, secure people really don't ghost or vanish without closure, especially if you had a long term relationship.

[@alexflips393]

Thanks Susan. I’ve recently told someone I’m dropping it because I feel like I’m becoming too serious way too soon. So I gave that statement and now I can move on.

[@SusanWinter]

Alex! Hello my dear man! Well I’m happy to know that you were interested in someone. That’s a very good sign and I’m even happier to know that you extricated yourself from a dead end situation. That is brilliant. I’m proud of you. Sending you a big hug from the other side of the pond

[@HelleButtrup]

This was so adequate. It really helps to see this mechanism of it beeing ilogical

[@SusanWinter]

Thanks Helle

[@jennifersteele2141]

I needed to hear this message years ago when, after 20 years, the ex threw me out. Made everything terrible. What a shock. Thank you!!

[@TheSoundofTanay]

Hey Susan, just wanted to let you know that you’re one of the most amazing people I’ve never met. Yet, you’ve had a significant impact on my life! I left a great relationship four months ago and after about 4-5 years of either chasing love or infatuation, I have no started finding peace within myself and what I have to offer to this world. I don’t know when or how I’ll find my next love, or even have the capacity within me to hold it it dear to my heart - I just hope your words and wisdom stay true to my soul regardless of how things turn out. I just turned 24 and life seems beautiful. I hope it stays that way. Hope I heal from my obsession with first love/attachment and grow as I go.

[@SusanWinter]

Tanay!! Thank you For your beautiful message. You are only 24, and already so wise. True, we haven't met in person but please know how grateful I am that you've found your way to this community. Big hug!!

[@TheSoundofTanay]

@@SusanWinter big hug!

[@dominiccobb6470]

Tanay you are not alone, i feel just like you. I am 27. I hope life has some unexpected and beautiful things in store for us

[@cillia.o8633]

I can say your first paragraph about her for me. She is amazing

[@chi8319]

Exactly! It's not love. It's a self created loop. The same loop you got through into it will take to get out of it.

[@VexxJam]

Great video 👍 all of it makes sense but how do you break the loop??? I understand these principles but actually accepting and letting go ...

[@ands1894]

The cognitive dissonance of modern-day (online) dating is just so draining.

[@allynaltura]

Love is fickle? Do you mean emotions?

[@SusanWinter]

Ally, love is never guaranteed to be consistent. People change over time. That's what I meant by fickle

[@karinar.8259]

Thank you so much for understanding. It's such a painful experience and it's very difficult getting out of the loop. Accept the illogical... end of story.

[@sspodesto]

I dont think there is anybody real out there that wouldn't do that to me 😕 im so tired of being let down. People say you are absolutely beautiful for 50 you look 30 something why are you single. You're choosing the wrong men blah blah blah

[@vixter28]

Yup He dumped me and didn’t give me a reason ! Racking my brain trying to figure it out ! He got mad at me for some thing that HE thought I did and then broke up with me Sooo confused & hurt 😢💔 We were in a committed relationship told me he loved me ! wtf How do you go from that to breaking up with me in one day?

[@igatti9923]

Whimsical ppl always end up alone.

[@sameerjassal6841]

Hey Susan, I couldn't have asked for more right now. Confessed during lockdown and keep thinking of the what ifs. All this looking back wondering what could be different, searching for answers I can totally relate to that! And I need to free my mind from that and accept the illogical circumstances so I don't keep exhausting myself. And I will watch this every day until finally I feel like I can carry on, so thank you so much!

[@babyc.3015]

First 💓 Thank you for this video 🙏

[@SusanWinter]

You are welcome baby c

[@suzanne5567]

Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling with this for over a year. (I got dumped during lockdown right before the holidays and my ex and his family were my bubble. it was super hard!) Because of this and being isolated and not being able to go out and do the usual post break up things I was instead stuck at home ruminating and crying and hurting. This video was so helpful. I just wanted to add that when I go back and ruminate its also the "I should have said that or I should have done this". Too often I hold back and dont speak up. I am trying to change this but it definitely adds to the loop of obsession cause if I had said something at the appropriate time it would have ended the behavior loop right there. Thank you. Your videos are straightforward and helpful.

[@michaelelijah6044]

needed this one..

[@SusanWinter]

Hi Michael. Glad that it worked for you

[@StonyStevenson75]

Your client was denied the chance to dump the guy, which was inevitable had they stayed together for much longer. I'm guessing he knew this, so pulled the plug first, leaving her wanting something she wasn't quite ready to part with, as well as now perceiving this "insignificant and mediocre" guy as a man with better options than her. Well played Sir.

[@bashwinm]

Thank you so much your words helped me through some confusing times

[@SusanWinter]

I love reading this. Thank you

[@ma4308]

I have an obsession with thinking of how badly they treated me, this includes family, friends and ex lovers. Then the pain hurts all over again

[@djredrayne]

Great video

[@SusanWinter]

thanks DJ

[@walkertranger5746]

Love shouldn’t be fickle … love is action of consistency not influenced when the feelings of the day are dismal or ecstatic . In my case : I was loved so much by my parents , aunts, uncles, grandparents that I wish to extend that with my romantic partner and unfortunately I’ve chosen one to love who suffered childhood trauma along with emotional neglect and neglect of nurturing from both parents. A narcissist mother and a distant father , she has been broken and beaten down . She has no clue how to receive and reciprocate love in a healthy way. My love for her is beyond words , however she has to want to heal and develop a meaningful relationship. She self admits her mental and emotional issues , but constantly keeps me at arms length for fear of being clingy and needy. I pray she finds balance .

[@JCL-eb9ir]

Thank you Susan. Really needed this TODAY. I love you so much!

[@mmc1086]

This is not my partner. My partner wouldn’t do this to me. He showed many red flags. My low self esteem made me think no other man would be interested. My past trauma made me stay with someone unkind. He was selfish in bed. He laughed at sexuaI assauIt his friend committed. He wouldn’t socialise with me but publicly followed and liked other women who were strangers because he liked their looks on social media. I don’t want to be with someone who would do this to me. It was true love from my end. But I do not want to be with someone I can’t admire or respect.

[@victorvaldez760]

The lil smacking is annoying af but the video is really good I was waiting for this

[@jcons114]

I became infatuated with a girl that just got married. I thought i was just socially anxious around her because i just wanted to be friends. But the thought of her grew and grew, until i realized it was more than a desire for friendship. Now i cant get her name out of my head. I truly just want a friendship, but this is hurting me.

[@VM-wt3ti]

This married guy keeps texting me and making a new number for years now even though I’ve told him I’m not interested why won’t he just leave me alone?!

[@burnzz100]

We tend to hold on to the wonderful…I totally get it. I know I’m worth more. Yada, but I love my husband and we are both responsible for the demise, therefore I’m the one that takes the guilt.
