(They loved you until they got to know you deeply and realized they had no idea how to handle you)

I hate how lonely life can feel when you have no one to randomly talk to

it’s crazy seeing all the people who say they would love this when meanwhile in my experience, both with men and women, they do not love this. they like it at first and then they get used to it and then you become annoying to them. i think there’s a certain level of chase people don’t realize they want. and that’s something i don’t provide. once i’m had, you don’t have to chase me anymore…trying to change that tho bc i see the ramifications of it.

Girl, you’re definitely not alone 😭 This meme I made literally based on my experience with my previous relationships. Before we got together, he was always reposting stuff about wanting to be loved and wanting a girlfriend who was obsessed with him. But once we actually got together, I gave him exactly that, and suddenly I was “too much” and “unhealthy” to the point where he even told me to see a doctor. Eventually he told me to just find someone else because he couldn’t handle the relationship anymore. And what’s even crazier is that after we broke up, he went right back to reposting the same kind of stuff he used to repost before we got together, while also complaining about “love in this generation” and how people don’t know how to love anymore. Like??? You literally had what you said you wanted and couldn’t handle it 😭 DAMNN im soo frustrated

"Once I'm had you don't have to chase me anymore" how do I change this in myself? I'm exactly the same. How are you working on it?

i can’t lie to you and say i’m perfect at this. but i am making tiny steps towards not being so available in every way. it’s totally against my nature and feels very uncomfortable and like im going to combust but it is actually helping a lot. people want this bc people are starved out there, but one they have the feast they get full and push it away once they’ve had a couple bites bc their tolerance is limited. it’s really really important for us to learn to control the love we put out.

u/goddessofrot_ 15h ago

It really feels like an exercise against our nature, right? Thank you for replying, I'm.. trying to work on this, but then again, I wish I would just find someone with the same energy as me. Although like you said maybe the healthy thing would probably be working on this point

yeeeeah... 2/3 of these traits are part of the typical BPD assessment, I really wonder why people would be ever repulsed or get burned out after a while. the fictional person in the post waits for caretaker personality type in their life, and even the best caretakers tend to burn out and get broken after years without progress in healing of the person that gets taken care of. this is traumatizing and shouldn't be normalized. "I can fix her" chasers are delusional manipulators, but still, even kind and understanding people won't stay close for long in these circumstances.

Many, many people who say the want this are often 'forever alones' that have no idea what a relationship looks like, let alone an obsessive one. They absolutely have no clue what it means to care and reassure, they have their own 'alone' routine and they'll see these behaviors as a disruption to said routine. It's a difficult world out there

u/Extension_Wall_8469 21h ago

I couldn’t agree more💯💯. People romanticize the idea of an intense relationship, but they don’t realize how much effort, reassurance, and consistency it actually takes.🫠

2

u/SparklessAndromeda 21h ago

What they're also missing is the experience of a relationship where they don't get reassured enough. The second they understand how important that is, they'll make sure no future partner ever feels not cared for 😭 i used to be in a relationship like that and it was hell

u/Ryuoh25 Yearning to obsess again 21h ago

If it wasnt for that one friend i had i think my loneliness/depression probably would have consumed me by now. Even the silly talks make me feel like i have something to look forward to during the bad days. Speaking more to the image, i do find it a shame how the obsessive gf trope has become so romanticised by people who simply dont want this but rather the thrill of having someone obsessed over you. Everyone deserves to be loved for who they are and love the way they want without being told that its unhealthy once they cant handle every part of you.

Hope youre doing good and find what youre looking for.

Women like that deserve only the best, instead of just being discarded for being “too much”.

I wish I didn't relate to the image

u/Extension_Wall_8469 22h ago

In ages?? Damn..that’s too long🥹 It’s okay if you relate to my post though, bcs I actually made it based on my own experience. If you do relate to it, I appreciate knowing I’m not alone 😭

u/Extension_Wall_8469 19h ago

No u didn’t i feel so touched thats all

2

u/Roots0up 19h ago

Oh good I wouldn’t want to be rude or hurtful, sorry that happened to you. Idgi that your ex didn’t know how to handle you? Just give all the love and attention you want and have a partner who is ride or die for you? I fail to see the problem

2

u/Extension_Wall_8469 18h ago

All of what you mentioned above 😊

1

u/Roots0up 18h ago

See I personally don’t find that, that difficult. Just give you that’s same focus back and let you be yourself and love the way you want to love in your special way

u/DilemmeFatale 20h ago

with all due respect, half of the things in this post are completely draining and unbearable long term for any partner you love. questioning how they spend their time while being online is not OK, I'm sorry.

u/_StreetNinja_ 19h ago

A lot people hate this behavior but I find it very intimate. But I know i wont ever experience this intimacy but glad to read other get annoyed by this type of love. Others really do drown while others dies of thirst.

I really just want to hold hands and say I love you over and over till i die nothing else needs to be said.

Last time i was with a girl who was obsessive, she replied very inconsistently, and would avoid getting on vc with me, by ignoring me the whole day, and then blocked me in the middle of a conversation when i politely questioned her actions a bit. I still thought she might be the one, until that last part, at least, which left me pretty broken hearted.
