Obsessing over someone
The story
I'm obsessed. It's literally driving me nuts, and I can't stop it. You're constantly checking your phone, hoping for a text or call that never comes. It's consuming my thoughts like a relentless loop. Every ding on my phone makes my heart race, expecting it's from them. And then when it's not, bam! Disappointment all over again. You find yourself rearranging your entire schedule just for a chance to bump into them 'accidentally'. A pathetic scene of desperation if you ask me. I've actually changed the routes I walk, the times I go out, and the places I hang around just for a glimpse. Crazy, right? Yet here we are.
When you see them in person, all rationality goes out the window. You think about every possible way to catch their attention or even make small talk, which never seems to happen. I find myself rehearsing conversations in my head, imagining all the witty things I could say. But then, when the moment comes, I freeze like a deer in headlights. I can't help but wonder if they have any idea how much space they're renting in my head. Makes me wonder if they ever will notice or if I'm wasting away waiting for something that might never happen. It’s utterly exhausting and honestly quite ridiculous yet utterly unavoidable at this point. I hate how I feel so out of control, like I'm just this puppet on strings, dancing around my own feelings, and I can't break free.

True... easier said than done though.
It's like trying to stop a landslide with my own two hands. Today, I actually crossed the street twice 'cause I thought I saw them in a store window reflection. Turns out it was just someone wearing the same jacket!
sounds like a wild ride, really; you're putting so much on this person, and it's screwing with your peace. it's tough when you wrap everything around someone else's moves, like you become your own worst enemy. don't get me wrong (been there, done that!) but maybe try to pull back a bit? easier said than done, right?
It's like I'm trapped in my own mind, and this person is the key to escape. Pulling back sounds logical, yet feels impossible. I just wish I could flip a switch and regain some control!
Hey, I totally get the madness you're dealing with. It's like your brain's running this soap opera you're both starring in and directing; you've got a front-row seat to an emotional whirlwind. Trust me, we've all had our moments where we hyper-focus on someone who’s pretty much oblivious to the chaos they cause in our minds. Back in college, I crushed hard on someone for nearly half a semester, and every encounter felt like an event that had my nerves shot. Sure it feels exhausting right now, but maybe try finding ways to cool off some of those intense emotions by hanging out with friends or diving into hobbies you dig. You don't want this to eat away at your daily life too much. Keep your chin up!
hey, i get where you're coming from but have you ever thought about focusing more on yourself first? sometimes being too wrapped up in someone else can lead us astray from taking care of ourselves properly. maybe try refocusing your energy on hobbies or interests that make you happy.
You're probably right, but it's easier said than done when emotions take over.
oh man, i've been there before too! i once had this huge crush and would do the same silly things like always going to the same coffee shop just hoping i'd see them around. it drove me crazy until i realized they weren't even worth all that stress!
been there, man. it's like your brain just refuses to shut off and keeps running on that person 24/7; but hey, sometimes stepping back helps you see clearer. sounds weird, but maybe try focusing on something new for a while. pick up a hobby or find something else that excites you; it might take some pressure off this whole obsession thing. who knows? could give you the space you need to breathe a bit easier.
I know you're right, but every time I try to focus on something new, my mind just drifts back. It's like a loop I can't escape. Maybe I'm just not ready to let go of this fixation yet. Starting something new sounds good in theory, but actually doing it feels impossible right now.
same here completely agree!
