Obsessing over a person, anyone has advice?
Hey there! I saw some posts about people obsessing over a crush but has anyone had a situation like mine below? So, I am with my longterm partner and I trust him and am not usually a jelous person. But one time, this girl I know he is okay with saw me once in the city and kind of turned her head away from me (I know she knows who I am and that I am his girlfriend)… For some reason that raised flags in my head and I was thinking constantly why she would do that and my brain was thinking what if he has done something or what if they have something together. Long story short - I followed her on instagram and she never followed me back - I just wanted to check whether she really has a problem with me or not. And the insecurities started from there. I felt so bad and insecure. My brain came up with so many scenarios. I started comparing myself with her, when it comes to looks, brains etc. I check her social media periodically and I feel excited because in that moment I still compare myself to her. She pops up in my mind a lot - whatever I am doing and sometimes I would get ready and want to look nice in case she sees me so she can see that I look good or better than her. She keeps popping up in my dreams as well. I don’t know - I feel like I got addicted to this feeling of comparison and just the negative feelings of it. I gotta admit - historically in my life - comparing myself to other people and being insecure has pushed me to work on myself and the traits I didn’t like. But my brain can’t let go of this one. I am always thinking “what if my partner falls in love with her, look at her nice hair, she looks like she is much calmer and he could like her more…” Has anyone had this experience before and could you give me some support on it?
