Some of us are far more obsessional and prone to rumination than others. In itself, this is not inherently 'pathological' or an issue; having an affinity for honing in on certain topics comes with many splendid advantages, enabling you to both a). pull off highly impressive personal and professional achievements and b). live life with a certain emotional richness that someone lacking your 'intensity' simply never will.
Limerence is a mind-bending condition that unleashes an array of obsessional emotions, motivations and behaviours in you. Of course, first and foremost, it drives you to analyse every last thing about your LO. You'll find yourself incredibly interested in your LO's life, personal relationships, pastimes, vices, and innermost thoughts. You'll catch yourself hanging onto their every last word, dissecting everything they say as if they're imparting the most valuable information in the world. But, this isn't 'innocent curiosity' - it's a destructive symptom of limerence, and is incidental to your desire for complete enmeshment with your LO. It's keeping you trapped. Here's how to deal with (and rise above) your 'fascination' with your LO, and their personality quirks and life.
Over the years, many of you have asked me whether platonic limerence is possible. Can these intensely euphoric and painful feelings exist WITHOUT a romantic element? After all, we've all had a friend whose energy we've felt drawn to (or an acquaintance we've found intoxicatingly magnetic). In short, I would say yes... but with nuances.
