We can define obsession as a “persistent, disturbing preoccupation” with something or — in this case — someone.
It’s one thing to find it hard to get someone out of your head; it’s another thing when you find yourself actively dwelling on that someone and looking for ways to feed an insatiable hunger to be near them — if only in your imagination.
You want to know how to stop obsessing over someone.
But so far it’s been easier said than done.
You obsess over the details of every casual encounter with this person.
- That distracted smile on his face (What did it mean?)
- That look in his eyes when they locked with yours for a full two seconds
- The way he suddenly straightened in his chair when he saw you walk in
Your identity has gotten tangled up with your imaginary relationship with this person, and you want to break free.
So, where do you begin?
