7 Signs Someone is Obsessed With You, Not Love

In the beginning, obsession and love look a lot alike; but, as your relationship grows, obsession may rear its ugly head... and tear your relationship apart. So how can you tell whether your partner or someone you’re interested in is truly in love or just obsessed with you?
Also, if you're interested in a topic about obsessive love disorder, you can also let us know. Apparently, there is such a term. Be sure to subscribe when the video comes out.

    It's really hard when you have so many insecurities and fears... having that anxiety and being in a relationship it's really draining if not managed correctly. I want him to be safe, healthy and happy always, and I use to prioritize him over me. Everything he likes, everything he asks for, everything he needs, there you have me trying my ultimate best to give it all to him. But that comes with supressing all my insecurities and fears just because I'm scared it will drive him away. So scared for him to find out how much I cry when he suddenly disappears and doesn't tell me, when he doesn't say good night or when he acts distant. How much I miss his red heart emojis, his singing recordings, his calls, his random questions and proposals.... I just have to pretend to be brave and bottle it all up myself, and keep offering him my whole heart. We really shouldn't antagonize really insecure or over average needy people. How great would it be if your partner knows your fears, your insecurities, how much does it affect you and slowly try to teach you how to carry a healthier relationship? Now, that's what I would call real love.

    I can relate but I’ve come to realize you’ve got to love yourself as well and just as much. You’re also worthy of love. Too much attachment to another can only bring about too many expectations and in the long run, disappointments and major let down. I suggest you try to keep yourself occupied by finding something you like to do. Possibly as a hobby, or an extra skill. Focus on yourself for a change. And try a little emotional ‘spacing’ from your loved one. If he does notice the change and bothers to ask, openly tell him how you feel. No pretense, whatsoever. Say it as you feel. If he really loves you he’ll try to be there for you, otherwise he won’t. And that’s perfectly okay. Genuine Friendships I believe aren’t meant to make us feel so drained and unhappy. But whoever is meant to be yours, won’t ever make you feel unloved or inadequate. Love yourself! It’s really important. Only then can you realize and know what it is exactly YOU WANT. Good luck!

    These videos are so amazing. Not just for me to make sure my partner is treating me right, but also so I can make sure I’m participating in the relationship in a healthy way as well. We have a tendency to forget that we can wrong others and are quick to place blame on someone else. I’ve always been of a mind to stop and consider how my actions may be impacting my partner. Take the time to remind your partner or partners that you care deeply about them and that you’re lucky to be able to experience life in the same time period as someone special like them. Best of luck to all of you in love 🧡

    Unconditional Love is based on maturity, not obsession. Knowing and accepting that things won’t always be so smooth between the two and that there will be some rough patches, yet we choose to love our partners regardless. Unconditional love is not based on mere moods and desires. Lasting, unconditional love is a choice. It not always just “happens” and you don’t always “fall in love” automatically. It is developed through constant care, patience, sacrifice, and acceptance. It's NOT the story of Romeo & Juliet or some romantic novel, It's real stuff.

    I didn't actually date this huy but he had a bad case of limerence. He would call 6-8 times a day even if i told him i was busy and would constantly text. I'm pretty sure he dedicated a song to me, offered to buy me things ( even though we had just met ) , said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me , etc. And he really hoped that i felt this way too. The fun thing is we haven't even known each other for that long ( at the time ) and we never met in person. I was introduced to him through an ex friend ( i knew my friend in person ) and he started playing match maker and decided to pair the two of us together even though he knew I'd just gotten out of a toxic relationship. So mentally, i already wasn't doing well. But this dude saw a few pictures of me and lost his mind. He was a nice guy but it was beginning to be too much. Our first ever phone call/conversation consisted of him laying down all his qualities as a boyfriend and his devotion and loyalty. I was freaked out because we just JUST MET. i don't talk to him anymore but sheesh those were weird times.

    I use to be obsessed and possessive with someone, I'd always be angry and jealous when he talked to someone else other than me, I had violent thoughts about the person they talked to. Even just him looking at someone else sometimes got to me. (reason being due to abandonment issues) I was always scared he'd find someone else or someone would try and take him. I tried driving a wedge between his friends and us so my mind was safe that he wouldn't leave me. Healthy relationships require boundaries, I didn't respect any of his at all back then. It was a horrible part of my life but that was years ago and now I've changed for the better, I realised how toxic I was back then and regret all of it. Surprisingly we both still talk to each other as friends now and are on good terms.

    I've had this exact kind of relationship, he was very clingy to me, immediately got sad or angry whenever I left him for 1 second. He was always very controlling, and I felt very pressured by him. I'm very happy with my decision to leave him and find someone better. No one deserves someone like that in their life. This video just further proves I made the right decision. 😄

    Love IS a small obsession over someone, but doesn't become a threat if you want what's best for someone and your actions speak louder than words. Some people neglect your messages at all and change partners constantly. That's also some form of a short-term obsession.

We should take the time to really tell if what we feel really is aimed at a particular person, as a whole. Not aimed at your idea of them, their body, their reputation, money and etc. Love is love, and you'll know it, when you feel it:) Thank you for this amazing video!

We dated online for over 7 years. It was a good 7 years, a typical relationship with great days, late night chats, sprinkled with arguments over dumb stuff...

    I just dealt with this situation with one of my classmates from college a few months ago. She seemed nice at first, but she was very obsessed with me. I never dated her because she already had a boyfriend, but she sure as hell acted like she had a huge crush on me, and was extremely obsessed with me. That is extremely inappropriate. She called me constantly and most of the time they were at the wrong times. She always texted me and she would not stop bothering me. I would be busy studying and she still would not stop texting me when I would say that I am busy. Last time I checked, the words "I'm busy" are supposed to be the universal sign of "I can't talk right now". She also noticed how big of a nerd I am, and she tried to make me her tutor for the semester because she was extremely behind in the class, and I was already halfway through my semester and the work for the class, and she didn't even start the work. She tried to make me her tutor, but I can't do that. She relied on me when she could have just gone to the school's tutoring center. I had the feeling that if I did do that, she would have taken advantage of how smart I am, used it to get a good grade, and never talk to me again. I never gave her that help because I couldn't. That is why colleges have tutoring centers. She had an immature high school behavior, too. It's friggin college. Stop acting like an immature child and grow up. I even skipped class a few times to avoid her. That on top of needing a break from my bad professor. She was even late for one of her classes to say goodbye to me as I was walking to my car. She only had two minutes until class, and the building where it was at the opposite direction I was going, and she ran like the wind to catch me just to say bye to me. She was late because she couldn't think before she acted. I haven't spoken to this girl since the semester came to an end, and she has not contacted me since then. I hope this does not happen to me or anyone else again.

    I am self aware enough to know that at one point what I thought was love was actually obsession. Over time it grew into love, actual love. Love isn't selfish or jealous, and because I've been on both ends I see the differences. I was obsessed with an ex of mine, but i thought it was love and no one could tell me otherwise. But then I realized I wanted him to be happy. Even if that meant I wasn't in the picture. I wanted him to find true love even if I wasn't the person on the receiving end. It was when I started being happy for him in romantic relationships with someone other than me that i knew i truly loved him unconditionally. It was a life changing lesson.

    Wanting someone happy is great and being able to respect their space eventually is great but you gave up on them and that is the reality like it or not. If you TRULY connect with someone time means nothing. Doesn't mean don't go have fun and have friends\parties\meet people at times but the person you connect with didn't know you for the first 25 years and had other experiences before you, meaning waiting 25 more years again is nothing and a easy thing to do eventually. Unless your goal is NEEDING kids and marriage soon than personally don't understand people who just give up so easily. Its weak behavior evolutionary wise to give up. Modern world tries to keep things more so called peaceful so weak genes and no determination is rampant. Obviously violence should be avoided overall in modern times but for most of history the strong and intelligent killed rivals and or kept genes strong through determination. Important to give space for all but women are about how they feel. Looks and what they hear is important at first but its what they feel that matters long term of course and women can say anything to you and it does NOT matter how bad because if they miss you eventually or you spark something again they will forget what they said overall. Humans think words mean something and they do in the moment sometimes but everyone constantly changes :).

    This is most of my dating history.... heck. This makes me really worried about my own views on love because I literally don't know how to figure out the balance between realistic and reasonable. (realistic meaning not romanticized, and reasonable meaning having standards and upholding my self worth).

  • @NuNuxxa

    I think one of the ways to differentiate whether your thoughts/actions/views on love are realistic and reasonable is whether you are able to also provide what you expect from the other person. Also, does your expectation come from an insecurity? So, e.g. do you expect your partner to text you regularly whilst he/she is out with friends because you hate them being away from you (obsession) or because you are worried that something may happen to them because they're out late at night (reasonable). I hope that helps? I'm happy to give some more examples if you need more clarification. But something to highlight is that as humans we should take time to monitor and be aware of our thoughts and actions (in daily life not just where it concerns love and relationships). Our fears and worries stem from past trauma - some fears/worries are reasonable and can remain and some are reasonable but should be worked on. I hope all of that makes sense to you - if not, I'm happy to explain further. Just message whenever! :)

    @@NuNuxxa yeah- I don't need the clarification. I already know a lot of my perceptions on love are messed up because I haven't had any healthy relationships. I'm wildly insecure, and I'm working on it, but I really struggle with seeing "love" as a sort of escape, which is clearly bad. I know all the things I'm thinking of are love and support and stuff I can very easily give someone, but that doesn't mean I'm not obsessed with the concept of being in love. I'm not even in love with someone I know or any specific person- it's just a craving. I have a lot of trauma and baggage I'm carrying around, so I struggle between the "I don't deserve/I can't handle love, so I should stay as far away as I can" thoughts and the "I just want to be loved, why is this so hard? Can't I just skip to the happy part?" thoughts- neither of which are healthy outlooks. I don't need an explanation or a clarification, I just need to figure out how to fix all the flawed thought processes I've developed over the years as some kind of coping mechanism.

    @@stefanny1938 There's a difference between clingy and obsessive -- it's the amount of control you try to place over your partner and a very deep sense of fear/anger/sadness when you don't get that level of control. Clingy is just needing more attention/love than maybe an "average" person, and that can be understood and play out in a healthy way in a relationship with the right boundaries set. Some people are fine with more clingy partners and are the type to want to give some extra love to satisfy them. Clinginess can turn into obsession if you have a partner that's distant and as a result you become obsessive trying to get them to love you back. I'm clingy myself and I've probably been obsessive in previous relationships, it's about finding a partner that balances your needs and desires well with their own. Sometimes people don't mix and can bring out the worst in each other, that's all.

    I think there’s a very clear distinction between obsessive and clingy. To be obsessive you need many if not all of these factors. I don’t think that clingy partners would over-romanticize relationships and/or only date them for status. I dunno I’m not the one with a degree in psychology but I think obsession is more in depth than clingy.

    There are cases where the obsession can grow to be actual love, though. For me it took time away to really assess my behavior. Even though I was broken up about it at the time, it didn't take me long to understand. Now that the other person and I are talking again I've noticed that I still have similar feelings for them, but I handle them in a healthier way; I don't get jealous of their other friends anymore, I give them the space that they need, and I don't give more than I receive like I used to. It doesn't feel forced. Not every obsessive friend/partner gets a chance to do things differently, and not all of them are able to, but I'm grateful for the second chance I was given.

    If the other person isn’t reciprocating your love as they used to then it turns into obsession. Stay woke, people. You don’t just turn obsessive out of the blue especially when you noticed that you weren’t like that in the beginning, but rather you gradually became that. They started offering you less now that they have you and it made you crave more for what it once was. It hurts to see these people blaming themselves to be the problem. Please refuse to be a victim of love bombing. Don’t self-diagnose but be self-aware. Please know your worth. I’m not saying everything is the other person’s fault but everything is a two way street and for every action there’s an equal reaction.

It all started when my ex fell out of love with me 9 months into the relationship, and never told me. But I could see it in their eyes, the way they would talk to me, the way they wouldn’t even look at me. Even the way that she would look to the side when we kissed.

    I think the video is not saying that the only other option is to be completely ok with being unanswered or left unread. Of course it's not a pleasant feeling but sometimes it happens because people have things to deal with in their own lives. They're talking about people who, in the most obvious/extreme case, can't absolutely stand this or have little to no tolerance for it. And still, this is clearly in a general sense. Everyone has their own unique circumstances. A person who is not obsessive will likely better be able to deal with the occasional unread/unanswered message and move on (granted if there truly is no grounds to think that their partner is actually avoiding them).

    I was obsessed with someone once: it was extremely unhealthy. The only difference with the video is, we weren’t dating at the time: it was like love at first sight, I guess. I admired her from afar. I don’t talk to them anymore, though, and my feelings for them have (hopefully) vanished.

    I wish I didn't know what this feels like but I do. Looking back at all the emotionally unavailable, mentally juvenile relationships I've had makes me realize I was being used. Only when I left them did they "realize" I was something they'd miss. It's disappointing but a learning experience, if nothing else.

    same. What helped to really assess my feelings towards my guy was too take a few days without communication. If you can do it longer, the better. I also had to re assess my behavior of neediness towards him. After U realized that I became needy, I quickly apologized. I took a few days off from communication with him as well. I was anxious all the time, though. But after a free days to a week, I realized I do love the man. All I want is his happiness, I'll give it to him freely without demanding for the same thing. Having him in my life in whichever form is enough for me. As long as I can put a smile on his face and heart

    After watching this video, I’m more sure about how toxic and immature I am in a relationship. Despite all of the wounds that I caused to my partner, they still stick with me and spot the good sides in me. So I’m now learning how to change, how to be more mature day by day so I can treat them better, for what they really deserve to have. I know I was a bad partner, but I’m happy that I figured that out and decided to change😊

    In my opinion, this is one of the biggest factors of distinguishing between love and obsession - the level of respect for individual boundaries. The former has respect for it. The latter, not so much, if at all.

    I was searching for comments mentioning boundary issue :). IMO this is the root of the issue, not respecting (the obsessed party) and not setting (the one being obsessed) boundaries. It takes a lot of maturity to spot boundary issue early on and to respect it or enforce it.

    It has something to do with a control mechanism of sorts. They are probably insecure with themselves so they attach themselves to you. Maybe for the image, while you may not feel the same. You know take for instance, why would anyone want to take a picture with you ?

Actually, I'm having such case but I noticed easily that this guy Ik doesn't really give a f*** to my feelings & is someone who just wants to talk with me because he feels lonely. Okay I do that. I wanna help him too but when he gets better, it just feels like he want me to be there to just "lift up his mood" while Idk why I was never even interested in him although I do felt what he was feeling. Seemed like a past image of mine who has to work on to but I think it's just his nature which wouldn't gonna be changing that easily... *sign*

    @@devashrijoshi9079 I'm not a professional by any means so if it were me I'd just take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt as this is coming from my own learned experiences. In my opinion, you are under no obligation to reciprocate your feelings back to him, especially if you're honest about it with good moral, health and wellbeing reasons. Now that doesn't mean turning him down with malice and impoliteness/disrespect. I'd say be honest with how you feel about him, even if they're ill feelings. You can admit that "you see your old unideal self when you see him in his current self and not fulfilling his potential" and that it hurts you, especially if there's very little self-responsibility taken to make improvements for oneself - I see no malicious harm in that (rather it's harmful in that it sucks and feels shitty to be told that you can do better than who you currently are... but that's not a malicious or "bad" type of harm). I think it's crucial to be honest/truthful whenever possible because it ensures that everyone relevant or involved is on the same page... and whoever likes it or not, that's their problem. That said, that doesn't mean being rude and cruel and telling him to get f**ked or anything like that (unless he acts and/or has consistently acted upon criminally immoral behaviour, then that's pretty reasonable disgust response in those circumstances I'd say). That level of hatred, especially for long periods, probably won't do you any good for your sense of stability/balance, peace and strength either. So yeah I say be honest with your words whilst being as reasonably polite as you can, what he can improve on in your honest opinion as suggestions, remind him that he's responsible for his own life and actions (in the most encouraging way possible though, with negative and positive aspects included), and wish him the very best. And if he doesn't hassle you anymore, then I think there's no need to go after him if you don't want to or think it's good for your wellbeing/sanity. If he still hassles you... then what I've explained is a good start to standing your ground and enforcing respectful boundaries in my opinion. If he appears to take it well, that's great. If not and acts rudely/disrespectfully to your own eyes (you assess what you can tolerate), then ask him that whilst his feelings are understandable his behaviours aren't and that it's his choice to either make matters worse or make matters less worse... but "I'm not going to hang around and accept your behaviour as my responsibility". Having said all that... it's your choice. My advice can be taken, partially taken, or dismissed altogether. It's your choice. What I will say is that it's understandable to feel/be scared, confused and angry about this situation - because, to me, it indeed sounds like a sticky problem. I wish you all the best and hope it is resolved in the most helpful manner possible. And if anything goes maliciously pear shaped, get out and call the police. Apologies for the long winded reply... I hope it helps in some way, however small. And, if you want, please correct/advise me if I'm wrong about how I've interpreted your situation. Cheers.

    Damn, I used to be an obsessive partner to someone, we weren't in a offical relationship but we treated each other like we were one. Actually, I treated our relationship like that. I texted them everyday, just wanting to know how they were doing. If they didn't respond within the next hour I'd get angry or anxious although I never texted them about it. I also gave them things, I never wanted them to give me stuff because I wanted to show that I was a good potential partner. But all their responses were one-sided and at times and they got uncomfortable too. Eventually they cut ties with me saying that they didn't love me. I was really hurt for several months but now I realize that they left me for a good reason. I didn't love them, I was just obsessed... I hope one day I'll have the confidence to apologize.
