This topic is often discussed on social media and the condition is called Limerence.
You may not have heard much about this term, but the feeling we will talk about in the article is quite common (you may have experienced it yourself or know someone who complains of these symptoms).
It is a feeling that is so strong that a person feels as if they cannot control it and has difficulty functioning in everyday life. Limerence causes involuntary attachment to a person and turns into an obsession.
Unfortunately, the feeling is one-sided and causes serious damage to the mental and biological state. The strangest thing in this situation is that the object of strong feelings may not be your type at all, that is, you imagine, draw and perceive it as such.
It often happens to people who love online dating or spend a lot of time on social networks - it's not surprising, because some users share their daily lives, future plans, or past experiences with us so thoroughly that we may have the illusion that we know them, and in the meantime we have never seen them outside the Internet.
Limerence can develop in you towards a person you have seen once or several times, or have never met at all. It is common towards famous people.
One thing you need to understand - love cannot be one-sided, and you should not waste your precious time and energy on a person who does not respond to you with the desired feelings.
