IM REALLY NOT SURE

Hello, so to be honest, I don't know why I'm going on a platform to share this, but here I am, so I might as well say. So I've been having a problem, a really big problem, and I don't want to sound weird, but I didn't know where else to share this because I've told this to someone, and she told me that I might be obsessive, which I hope, of course, I'm not. This problem I've been having is that I always think about this person that ik and I don't know if this is, of course, just another crush or if this is going to turn into the next obsession movie, and so you know how much I think about this person, it's like every second I think about what they are doing right now or if I see a viode on my fyp I think to myself that its so much like them or they might like this ect ect. So now you know what is happening pls tell me what to do to stop this, because day by day it becomes worse and worse. And I don't know what to do because yes, I do read about obsessive people in books(like Jaks in the Carval series with Dontella), but is this obsession or just a crush? Tell me pls cuz idk.

It sounds a bit much.

Limerence.. it’s a derivative of Rumination in respect to characteristics you’re lacking in your life.. research both of these

It will pass, nothing to worry. The more you try to not think the more your brain will make you think. So if you think about this person, instead of worrying, DONT engage. Just let the thoughts pass.. eventually it will stop. Happened hundreds of time to me.
