    I post new love life advice for you every weekend.

    We’ve all done it. We start to like someone and suddenly we’ve built a whole narrative around what our future could look like with them. They feel like a rare antidote we’ve stumbled across that will take us out of being single and into the relationship we so badly want.
    The issue is, in the process of doing this, we rob ourselves of the ability to enjoy the experience-too stuck in our heads to be in the moment.
    We also run the risk of self-sabotaging as we try to see danger where there isn’t any.
    In this brand-new video, I share an easy and grounding phrase you can use RIGHT NOW to calm yourself down if you find yourself in this situation.

    People with inner child issues get obsessed too quick! It’s their inner child trying to attach to a rare found attention-giving figure because the inner child is so deprived of love/attention, they cling. Always remind yourself, you won’t hand over your inner child self to another person so quickly, it’s your child(your child self), take care of it yourself.

    Since I used daydreaming as a form of escapism from the reality of my childhood, most of my dating life has been spent in my head instead of actual relationships, so I appreciate this topic being discussed. It's a wonderful thing to be self aware and work on yourself

      Hallelujah and amen. As I'm almost 69 and have a hereditary predisposition to live 'til 100, even able and coherent, it's important to me to make my remaining time as rewarding and authentic as possible. So I'll keep working at my emotional sobriety. Respecting myself feels better even than a man's admiration.

  • @HerLoveJourneyy
    @HerLoveJourneyy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2164

    First, we need to understand why we are obsessed in the first place. We experience some kind of joy or highs with a person which forms strong connections in our brain. Our brain doesn’t like being sad or depressed at all. It likes those highs and misses them. “Its not the person but the feelings we crave.” We don’t have that chemistry with that person for a reason and we know it. But that person set a benchmark of highs we have had. It is natural for our brain to miss and want those highs. And that is why, despite all the negative experiences with that person, we still miss the beautiful memories we had. We move on when we meet a new person and experience greater joys or highs in life. Then we really don’t miss the past joys as they become insignificant with respect to the new benchmark. Now, this greater joy or high doesn’t have to necessarily be with a person. It can be something else - like any achievement that makes you happier. If not achievement then your progress on your path. For that, we need to focus on our goals and make a conscious effort to feel better. Working out is an add on and scientifically proved to improve mood. We should also spend time with our old friends and indulge in hobbies to feel better. Most importantly, we should think rationally about that person and remember the bad experiences - not to hate him/her but to get over him/her. Hope it helps.

      Thanks! That’s very true. I just got over with it, thinking about the things that would not work out for both of us. It’s scary to be with an A personality. And if that person doesn’t even fall to the person that you really want to be with. It’s a blessing to separate with this person earlier than let it drag for long. It’ll be harder to forget. But I’m glad I’m progressing.

    And this is how anxious attachments occur … you could be quite secure within yourself. Meet somebody that you really like and all of a sudden they might pull away slightly in your mind and then you get super anxious and then you become super needy. They then become avoidant because they’re panicking and you become super anxious!!
    When you first meet somebody always remember they are turning up as the best version of themselves just as you are are … it takes time to get to know somebody so really try to pull yourself back and take it day by day and get to know the person for who they really are … ❤

    Huge issue, for me. "Limerence," I've learned to call it: obsession, or infatuation, when one conjures up an entire person and relationship out of ONE meeting. Then you scare the crap out of the person you're attracted to, and drive them off. You THINK you might grow out of it. I'm finding out, at re-entering the single world, that without conscious efforts to stay rational, I slide right back into it. In my case it comes from people-pleasing in my childhood, which backfires horribly when one is an adult who needs self respect. Thanks for bringing it up.

    Used to be obsessed with one of my closest friend. Was into her for a couple years. Later found out she kind of liked me too.
    All of a sudden all that potential energy that had built up in my mind, the unreal ideology of spending a future with her, all that came flooding in. Having these projections really made me anxious of losing her. Something that wasn't even real, was completely made up in my mind is what was stressing me.
    I started having expectations from her in a way that she could fill up those ideologies in mind. Dont get me wrong, I made her feel very special, like a Queen so I did deserve the best. However those expectations brought out a needy, constantly worrying, insecure basically an ugly side in me.
    She had just started liking me but the projections I had built up after liking her for years made it all 100% complex. She simply couldn't keep up and I was pacing trying to chase that " future with her" which was uncertain.
    All we ended up doing was fighting.
    Needless to say we had to end it.
    I don't have any ill feelings towards her.
    But it sucks to lose my closest friend.

    I'm the type of person who rarely ever gets attached. However, whenever I do, things never turn out well. To me, liking someone is so rare that when I do, I do it way too fast, way too hard. I find myself coming back to this video for the second time. Thus, this is the second time I get attached to someone and feel like things turned sour, then started obsessing over it - things like they don't seem to respond the same way anymore, they don't seem to prioritize me as much, so on and so forth. However, being the second time I caught on to it in the first week of it happening, whereas the first time took me 6 months of being played with to realize what was going on :) So yeah... I'm still screwed in the head, but I guess I can call this improvement.

    I never found the middle ground. I'm either completely obsessed with someone or I have no interest. I believe I have an anxious attachment style and because of it have been friendless for 15 years and never had a relationship while I'm 29. It's very strange but now I got into this mindset that because I'm so socially inept and atrophied that no one would want to spend time with me, so I self sabotage at every convenience. I feel that I'm just not a social animal as many people are and I'm trying come to grip that I'll live like this for the rest of my life. Of course it is very peaceful. That's the good part.

    It's very beneficial to your own heart as well as the other person's to not be investing 100% from day one. There has to be more left to discover, and I loved the line you said about seeing if their positive personality traits turn into their true character or if it's just a performance on a date. Well done 🤘

    Thanks for the advice, and I guess.. "I'll see" where it leads me too

  • @CaitlinMaharg11

    So relatable! I got this way with the last guy I went out with. I refer to it as a "case of the crazies" and whenever I get this way it never works out because I'm not loving myself or living in reality. I realized I have stuff to work on with this last guy and I'm taking a break from dating to just focus on me, myself, and I 💜

  • @melonpan88
    @melonpan88 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I've noticed that guy in the gym. He looks like a really decent adult man. Even though we haven't talked yet, our eyes have met a couple of times. This has been going on for several days/weeks and I got hooked on that unknown feeling that I get whenever I see him. It makes me so joyful. But it scares me a bit because I'm not used to flirting and I can't control that giddy feeling he gives me (I'm enjoying it though, so strange!). You know, I'm that head-in-the-space, happy-go-lucky nerd girl (sometimes with a mental age of a teenager) who was never good at this stuff. And I thought to myself, 'Why would such a decent guy like him be interested in an awkward girl like me?' He should be dating (maybe he is already dating) cool ladys with tattoos and toned bodies and a great sex appeal (I don't have any self-confidence issues, I'm just a realist.) Anyways, I guess my interest in him turned into obsession (maybe?) because I keep thinking about him and lately he appears even in my dreams. Oh my...I feel so helpless.
    But your video helped me a bit in dealing with my little obsession. ^^ Luckily, it will disappear once I stop seeing him due to my work (which starts next week). girl

    I recently got to know a guy who wanted to sleep with me and tried to guilt trip me when I didn't. His real character was revealed and when I declined he showed it. It takes time to get to know someone. Casual sex and moving too fast is Dangerous. You never know a person until you get to know them, you could be sleeping with a psychopath or abuser.

I sure do believe getting to know someone before you can make a decision you are sold on each other and you can see your future together. I also have to say, trusting your intuition when you know you know! Then allowing the friendship to grow organically & with intention & with mutual investment for it to progress. thank you & grateful for you sharing your content and your master classes!

    Wow. This one video of advice just saved me at least $300+ in therapy appointments!! You made it make so much sense to me. I’m a 42 year old woman married for 22 years now. And tho I wasn’t obsessive with my husband, I definitely was when I met my half brother, when I was 34. I came with so much expectations and fantasizing of what our relationship was (not sexual) that it ruined what could have been. I portrayed the ugliest version of myself when certain expectations weren’t met on his end. I felt like we had to make up for so much lost time. But he lives in NC and I in Texas. Both with families and lives. But I just kept feeling like I was the only one putting any time and effort into our relationship. Anyhow just wanted to mention ways this can effect other relationships besides just between lovers and daters. This video is much appreciated 👏🏻

  • @minbh7965
    @minbh7965 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Projections!! Can be SO very tricky!!!
    It goes both the ways - to the extremes, to the false positivism/ inflated optimism TO extreme rejection/ negativity!
    The "mind" creates stories, and stories that "fits" our own fantasies and made up, hypothetical situations, a.k.a. hallucinations!
    We can get very creative, when it comes to fantasies, hallucinations, feel good syndrome, and need to feel validated by others!
    On the flip side, some people play "too much devil/ too much doubting/ too much questioning" of the other, as a default - just to have the "healthy criticality" into the mix, sometimes to a level of being too cautionary.
    A balanced point of view may be a desired stand to have, to allow for the real picture to emerge - for both sides involved.
    Thanks for the insights, they are on point!!
