Hi all,
I’m very clingy in friendships and I think it can be intense for the other person. One friend in particular I have been kind of obsessed with for about 7 years: I’ve been in love with them for that time, and I very frequently think and fantasise about them. We were really close at one point but there’s been a lot of fluctuation in our connection, which I find really painful. Wondering if anyone can relate either to the obsessiveness or the struggling with flux in friendships? Maybe the former could be connected with special interests - is this person a special interest for me? Is a mind prone to getting obsessed with things more likely to get obsessed with friends too? And perhaps the latter could be part of a more general discomfort with change, (although in most other situations I struggle with this less)? Or maybe it’s just me… I’d appreciate some thoughts. Thanks in advance :)
