Falling in limerence.
Have you ever felt lovesick? A desire so strong for someone that thoughts of them take up every moment of your day? Welcome to the world of limerence. We explore the complexities of love and limerence, life as a “limerent” and how to form
From a young age, we are taught a lot of misconceptions about love. We learn that love changes the way we act, that it drives us to acts of desperation and leaves us dazed and consumed by thoughts of our beloved. To be shot by Cupid’s arrow is something we all long for. Romeo and Juliet were so in love they couldn’t live without one another. Dawn loved Big so much she was willing to accept the bare minimum affection in But I never understood why she chose Big. To me, it didn’t look like love. It looked like Dawn had fallen in love with the idea of Big, put him on a pedestal, and was blind to the reality that Big limerence is the “interpretation of events, rather than the events themselves.” You admire, you are physically attracted, you see, or think you see the hint of the possibility of possible reciprocity, and the process is set in experiencing love obsession and came to the conclusion that limerence is the very first stage of the love cycle — love sickness, if you will. It’s more than just sexual desire, although this certainly plays a part. It’s an intense infatuation, a kind of spell cast over you and the need for this desire to be many psychologists have likened limerence to mental illnesses such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and addiction. And while there are many unhealthy aspects of limerence that can impact all parts of your life, I like to think of it as Dr Walksr does: innocent, unconditional, ephemeral.
The classic example of limerence is unrequited, where one party — the limerent — is borderline obsessive about their limerence object (LO). Think Peters fixation on Julie despite her being married to his best friend in Love Actually; Tom’s obsession with Summer in 500 Days of Summer; and the entire tragedy that is Romeo and Juliet. Limerence can be felt before, during and even after a relationship. It may actually lead to a relationship and once the ecstasy fades, you and your loved one are left to decide whether you are truly compatible.

To be shot by Cupid’s arrow is something we all long for. � Romeo and Juliet were so in love they couldn’t live without one another. Dawn loved Big so much she was willing to accept the bare minimum affection in return and revolve her entire life around him. Don’t get me wrong — I adore Sex and the City, and Carrie Bradshaw is one of the reasons I became a writer. But I never understood why she chose Big. To me, it didn’t look like love. It looked like Carrie had fallen in love with the idea of Big, put him on a pedestal, and was blind to the reality that Big only gave her crumbs, never the whole cake. I’ve since come to the conclusion that it wasn’t love.Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love, limerence is the “interpretation of events, rather than the events themselves “ You admire, you are physically attracted, you see, or think you should hint of the possibility of possible reciprocity, and the process is set in motion.” I negotiated people who were experience love obsession and came to the conclusion that limerence is the very first stage of the love cycle — love sickness, if you will.

Love or limerence?

So how do you know whether you’re in love or limerence? Well, you can check your “symptoms” against still your LO.LiIntense longing for your feelings to be reciprocated.

Mood is dependent on your LO’s actions (or inactions) and your interpretation of these actions.Inability to react limerently to more than one person at a time.A sense of relief from fantasising about your passions being reciprocated by your LO Crippling fear of rejection and feelings of insecurity around your LO.”
Feelings intensified by adversity.
Interpreting any act that could point to reciprocation of feelings as a sign of hidden passion from your LO.An aching sensation in your chest (or heart) when feelings of uncertainty arise.A feeling of elation when reciprocation is evident. Feelings towards your LO are so intense that all other concerns, issues and priorities fade away. Emphasising your LO’s positive attributes while minimising their flaws or negative aspects, i.e., the sense that they can do no wrong. Beehive , rates butterflies all in my tiny back gardened.
Wish my psychiatrist would agree to all this and treat the aftermath rather than the route cause.
