Wasted a lot of emotions on a study abroad GF during college. "Love sick" is the traditional term. "Limerence" is the Psych 101 term. Sure sounds like "limerick". The joke was definitely on me.
How to break free from an unhealthy romantic obsession 💔
A neuroscientist explains how to break free from romantic infatuation

Rewatched the 2009 not-quite-a-rom-com "(500) Days of Summer" tonight, which I'd always been fond of as a particularly sharp-eyed depiction of limerent infatuation. I wondered how it would hold up under my more mature eyes.
Turns out, it's even better than I remembered! Yes, it's very straight white people, but I picked up on a *lot* more critique of the assumptions built into popular concepts of romance and friendship.
Not above criticism, but still worth watching!
time alternates form
limerence shapes an outline
but love dwells within

Now you too can learn how to lose your self esteem, your friendships, your work opportunities, your life balance, and your dreams!
Or maybe… I don’t know… do the opposite?

Limerence is marked by intense, obsessive feelings and a lack of mutual commitment, whereas love is based on mutual understanding and connection. #limerence #love #relationship #truelove

These are especially true for AuDHD (Autism+ADHD) women. High empathy. Close friendships (in fact, we're prone to limerence - look it up). Mimicking others. Gazing. AuDHD women often go undiagnosed until mid-adulthood.

She's obsessed with him:
what she feels is not true love
just sad #limerence.
You pull me close, then keep your distance, and hold me in a state of limbo until #limerence knocks at my door.
But I won't fall for it. Instead of you, I turn towards myself until I reach that liminal state which allows me to wave goodbye.
Now, who is left, longing?
“Maybe someone wants to congratulate you?” texted Mia.
“No one here is owning up.” texted Ava.
“You don’t think someone’s in a state of #limerence – an undeclared crush?”
“Not among colleagues.”
“They’re telling me the flowers are pretty. But somethings twisting my gut.” #vss365
Is it weird to watch online video tutorials and think I really like the person doing that tutorial, and if we met in real life, we might be friends? Is that limerence? I've heard other Autistics talking about correlation of #limerence and #Autism

Rock-winged seraphim guard that valley. For it is told that in the Age of Creation the ancients amassed and perpetually circled around its mountains, creating a wide gap. And within that cradle was placed the Jade of Breath, which conceived soul that would fade forever and echo through eternity. In #limerence they gave deliverance to the world; making and unmaking, mending and bending, moulding and dismantling, spiralling down the string of life, ending their infinity.

Beyond adoration, beyond conscious thought, beyond common sense there is the #limerence that intoxicates heart and mind. Thinking is nigh on impossible as the heart only beats for its desire to be fulfilled.
When the veil is ripped away from the eyes, the heart is also torn asunder.
Bliss crashes to bitter misery.
Lim'ricks obsess me.
How sad then that "limerence"
refuses to rhyme.
