The timing for this could not be more personal and coincidental 🤣

I’m convinced the world gave me this when I needed it, and it scares me at the same time as impresses me 🤷‍♀️

Me texting the person I like: 🥰

The person I like: 😑

This comment section makes me realise that I'm not the only one which makes me feel less lonely

This is so tough. It’s like I want all this for myself but my brain has other plans.

I was obsessed with someone who didnt want me as much as i wanted them. Blockrd.. deleted them.. will never be able to find their number again... wont have to wait ever for some breadcrumbing message..best feeling ever.

I don't think I was supposed to find this- this early

[ericasaphire]

I swear they LIVE in my mind, because I was just today, wondering how to stop thinking about a person!

Don't think I've ever clicked on a video faster

It's so hard to believe a person over idealizes them.

The thing I find is that if you fancy something it’s normal. But if you repeat patterns of liking someone who is emotionally unavailable you need to remember the realistic expectations and pros and cons and try and love yourself for who you are a lot of points in this video are valid asf hit home awesome :)

I’ve never felt so desperate for someone ever before, and what’s worse is these feelings are towards someone I will never see again and even I did, I’d probably never be able to have him. I hate feeling like this.

Its been six years... I think at this point I need therapy...

It was high time for me to accept that I was not so important for her as I thought I was or as I wanted to be. She is better off without me, so I must be better for myself.

Atp I don't even want him back anymore, he can be with anyone he wants to be, I just want someone to belong to who wants me, platonic or romantic. I want MY person, who wants me.

[naphou]

I saw this RIGHT after spaming him a bunch of texts begging him to love me 💀

[seth]

the way I over came my obsession is I looked at the illusion that it was and listened to music that made me think of her till it was nothing but a silhouette of the girl I was thinking of. Factor the fact that the silhouette wasn't in my life and only in my mind the obsession finally melted

Journaling is a good way to reinforce cognitive behavior. I am a very obsessive person, and very possessive. I have been in therapy for years. I actually consider myself “graduated” from therapy. Growth isn’t a straight line. It’s more like a spiral. Each turn around, I can see new things. I learn and expand. I need a journal to go over this emotional and behavioral progress. Learning how to talk to yourself or treat yourself is the number one skill to start with. Your journal will help you to see the good in yourself. The hard work you’ve done. I hope that maybe my sharing what works for me might help others. Don’t count the years. Count how many ways you’ve been there for yourself as u go along. I could go on and on. The rest is up to anyone else if they need it.
