Limerence is very painful. I am a serial limerent. Every time I listen to someone talk about this topic, I achieve a new layer of understanding. Thank you.🙏👍🏻

This has just explained my whole life. I’ve chosen to be single for six years now because I find relationships so intensely painful I can’t cope. I would like to find love one day but I just don’t see how I ever will manage it.

Limerance is a new term to me, but I fully relate. It’s so painful. Last dated someone for three months. Could/can not stop thinking about them even months later. It seems self destructive. I feel like a broken person.

This is the best explanation of "narcissistic love" I could have ever hoped for. Limerance is THE reason for the long-lasting trauma bond. Every reason cited hear rang true for my experience. It's a love that's full of confusion, longing and constant reflection. It's deeply saddening. Nothing prepares you for this experience.

This video made me realise, it wasn't love that defined all my romantic relationships, but limerence. Pooh, that is a hard truth to swallow.

This video just changed my life. This is not an exaggeration. I’ve been tormented by this concept my whole life. It started as a fantasy and turned into a curse.<br><br>I didn’t know there was a word that described my feelings and experience. <br><br>Thank you for helping me.

Thank you so much, this is absolutely brilliant information on limerance. I especially liked the possible link with ADHD. <br>Limerance is as if your whole brain has been hikacked to obessively think about that person which immobilizes any other thinking capacity. You constantly imagine all the scenarios where that person is included in your life, but they aren't in your life at all. It's a nightmare!
