ok so i have a crush on this person and they r super super cool, but my brain won’t let me stop obsessing over them. like i’m checking my texts every 10 mins to see if they answered me, watching those dumb psychtogo videos, i just cant stop 😭 i always get like this when i get a crush, i cant stop thinking about them and it’s getting a little annoying, cuz idek if they like me back yk?? i think it’s cuz i have adhd, my brain is chasing the dopamine or whatever, but it’s still driving me nuts. and then since i have anxiety, i will spiral and start overthinking if they don’t text me back in like 2 hours or something if i’m making it all up, do they actually just hate me, etc etc. which is so stupid cuz we r literally friends!! does anyone have any tips over how to obsess less??? (also - i’m not bothering them with this, like no double texting, no asking to hang out excessively) so yeah, if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated. also thanks for reading this, i had to get it out somewhere :,))

      i do the exact same thing and i also absolutely hate it bc i felt like i was weird for it - sadly i don’t rlly have any tips other than just stop caring - it may sound dumb but just try to think “who even cares if they don’t like me” or “if they rlly liked me they would make a move” idk if that’s helpful but i also commented to see what other ppl would say 😳

      I tend to try to use logic to explain to myself why we’re incompatible, though I’ve only ever had platonic crushes before Maybe try to find holes in compatibility, like job goals, how many kids, favorite food, ect. If you do end up going out, most incompatibilities can be worked over

      Yep I do this too. I did this in front of the person. I literally created a fantasy and took it to the next level. Got this person to hang out with me and we spent from about 8pm to 7am together. Tbh? I would just let them know. It’s better to know then to obsessed this way. I also did thing where I checked my phone every 2-3 min for hours the day following my obsession. It’s all I thought about it. Crazy how our brains get so fixed on something/someone.

        @Kalm Also forgot to mention, we started seeing each other literally everyday past that point for 2 months until my next obsession, who I am not ENGAGED TO.

        @Kalm Also while I might agree indulging in other interests might make things easy but if you were anything close to the obsession I experience when I’m into someone, nothing else matters anymore. So I would say, indulge in your obsession and let the person know (if you feel comfy w that). If they reject you , your obsession will melt away as there’s no fantasy to entertain anymore 🤣 if they don’t, well… congrats lol😏

      I have done the same thing many times. I suggest indulging in your interests, and trying to find other things that make you excited and happy, so you can think more clearly around the person you like. Do NOT let your dopamine and happiness levels become dependant on them. I promise it’s not worth it. 😬 It’s hard, but I hope it goes well for you ❤️

      It's normal when you have love for someone like that for the first time. If y'all ever start dating, the obsession might die off slowly and become more stable 🤗

      As time passes, this should get better. I've been there, it's not fun, despite being "fun". I wish you all the best :)
