  • Obsession is the hunt for a logical answer. It’s the mind at ‘unrest,’ stuck in a mental loop because nothing makes sense. One moment you were the object of their attention, the next moment you’re wondering if they even think about you. Here’s how to exit the loop:

    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!💜

    How do you kill and starve these thoughts? I’m trying to just yell at my brain no! We’re not doing it anymore! I don’t feel like it’s very productive though. Like I think I’ve tried just about everything. As soon as I push it away, it pops right back up. Nothing helps, just a constant barrage of “ was it me?“ “ what did I do wrong?“ and how we went from bliss, excitement, and closeness. To discard, cold, and just wanting to move on. It’s the most illogical thing I’ve ever experienced. I don’t know what I did to deserve it..

  • @Seattlegal2
    @Seattlegal2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    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
      @SusanWinter  2 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    • @blueblackhusky
      @blueblackhusky 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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 :)

      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. It was so confusing clash from within. Also him being friendly is more confusing. Then how it all abruptly ended as well.

    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.

    I was good enough for bed but not for a relationship. He told me I was not his type, too old and too big. Now I am obsessed with the thought about losing weight and having a glow up and then meet him „out of nowhere“ and then tell him I don’t want him because he is not good enough for me now…would be such a good feeling but it takes at least a year to lose all my weight etc..

      I know the feeling of revenge. Let this pain motivate you to get better for yourself. When the time comes and you feel good you will not even care if he sees you or not. You deserve someone that loves you for you. And you deserve to love yourself.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
      @SusanWinter  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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
      @blueblackhusky 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.
