Hello! Does anyone have experience with something called "Limerence" - I often think about this when I think a lot about my TF in different periods - Do you have any knowledge about this Charlotte?
Limerance is a mental illness described as being obsessed with a person and/or the idea that they are your soul mate. I don’t know much more about it than that. I will say though that regardless of the root cause of a persons connection to another (limerance or otherwise) the solution is the same, when we learn to love ourselves we release the desperate need for a romantic relationship, it doesn’t mean we won’t want one, just that it’s no longer a painful longing and we find we can be quite happy with it without one.
