@yourbigsister777: If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t stop thinking about someone who isn’t really in your life, this is why. Limerence isn’t about obsession. It’s about unmet needs, projection, and a nervous system that learned to attach through distance. Nothing is wrong with you. Awareness is the first step to loosening the grip. #limerence #attachmenttheory #emotionalhealing #innerwork

Bonnie Ann :

Is staying in touch after 40 years limerence

Tony S :

I have this with a coworker. worst part is we are both married. 🥲

Rebel1901 :

Ok brilliantly explained so how to fix it

marilyn not monroe :

This happened to me with someone who should have literally repulsed me but it didn’t and I don’t know why. I only see it now, after I burned down my life for him.

Swan :

I’m in a quandary now. I’ve been in limerence over someone I’ve known from afar, 6 months now. This week I’ve gotten to spend time with him and he’s nothing like I thought he was and there’s little about him I was truly enamored with. This is creating a void I’m surprised with. My husband died 14 months ago and I’m pretty sure this limerence was distracting me from grief. There’s nothing easy about this.

kingmanorz :

It’s like how I fell deeply in love with Kim Fields on Facts of Life and yet I never met her. I thought about her for years off and on. But now I’m older and realize that was basically fantasy but yet I still miss her. Is that what it is?

Prettykitty :

Took me 4 years to move on

Forevermore_sagittarius🐑 :

nas ᥫ᭡ :

my limerence is not romantic in nature, but I still feel validated–thank you 🥹

marshall.out :

I’m starting to be interested in this girl and the issue is I know that my dependency on limerence is what’s really driving my crush on her. I’m trying so hard to be aware of it but god everytime I’m around her or more like when I’m not my brain just keeps going and going and ugh

TheGratefulMenoMamaof7 :

yes limerance. its happened to me several times ughh.

Donna Alexander :

Yikes. That’s scary but true. Especially when you don’t know any better. 💯✨

wildflower🪻aura :

this is accurate. filling the gaps that no one can see or touch. what is more painful, the cycle or the void? self love and consistency never makes me feel safe and yet i seek and find comfort in the pain.

The Wellbeing Traveller :

How do we heal those unmet needs? 🙏🏻 because limerence will not go. It will move to someone new. I know that for a fact

Steven Tsoukalas :

I literally needed to hear this. Thank you

darthmamacita :
