I think awareness of this might be very important for ppl like me with attachment issues.
I care but I don’t care
Or I don’t care but I care
Limerence is a psychological state of being in which someone has an intense, obsessive, and involuntary romantic attachment to another person:
according to Google.
I had feelings like that before for my ex but it evolved into psychosis somehow.
Do you still talk to her?
I had this with my ex before last. I checked her face book and tried to contact her for like a year. I didn’t realize how good I had it with her. She was beautiful inside and out and I lost her being a ass hole. I couldn’t except she was gone and was kinda obsessed…
That sounds tough man.
i had it for a girl i was psychotic and obsessed
the girl was not worth the suffering
What is skadoodlin’
Sorry I couldnt resist
Well I was really unwell when i chose to break up with her but she still talked to me. We even met up to talk but I was already too far gone in psychosis and convinced that she was the enemy and was hiding something from me (all a delusion).
She still talked to me after that but I tried to ignore her and after I wished her a happy birthday text after a long period of not talking, she severed all contact.
I think if I wasn’t so psychotic and delusional, I would have kept an important person in my life still.
That’s quite sad. About losing some1 you loved. She must have felt very hurt about u cutting contact that’s why she cut contact. But idk…
Im over it now lol it’s was tough tho…
I wish I could get better…I could get another woman that makes me happy
Limerence means having an intense longing for another person even when they don’t fully reciprocate. The limerent person struggles to think about anything else but their “crush” and neglects their social life, work, and other responsibilities as a result.
Never say never!
Yea that’s the thing. I think it’s a bit of a relationship imbalance dynamically. That’s the main thing lol.
Yeah I think so too. I don’t think I grieved it properly either. I was totally unwell, believed stuff like a part of her soul was in my body and she was communicating with me/guiding me and stuff.
When I think of our time together, I can’t look at the good memories with fondness. I feel disconnected, like life is split between pre-psychosis/post psychosis. All my memories from pre-psychosis feel so far away it’s weird.
I’ll let you know if it ever happens lol
Bacon in the sky
Yes it is. And I think it’s the possibile reason or cause behind schizophrenia. Love is such a feeling that mind goes delusional.
An intense crush. I had it when i had erotomania delusions
What is limerence?
Wasn’t he a flamboyant piano player?
I think the only girl I ever dated as an adult had this
Unfortunately there was no way to bring her back down to earth and it ended
My main issue with the relationship was that I had no idea how to reciprocate the level of emotion I was receiving
Very little experience at dating but this felt almost cruel to me to allow it to continue as it was
Really liked her but she did not allow me to participate at a level that was reasonable or even achievable on my side
