@hippiescientist: Have you ever felt like one person took over your entire mind? 🧠💔 That relentless cycle of hope, waiting, checking, and overthinking has a name: limerence. In a 2026 study, 51 people experiencing impairing limerence reported thoughts about that person during roughly half of sampled waking moments. That finding describes a selected group—not everyone who’s ever had a crush. You can care deeply about someone without losing yourself. Which part feels hardest: the uncertainty, checking your phone, or letting go?
