...See more Hi, Im new here and not 100% sure how it works but hopefully Im posting in the right place. Over the years Ive noticed Im prone to developing really intense (non romantic) friendships with people, like I become obsessed with them and will think about them constantly. Like if Im in a shop Ill notice things theyll like. This has happened over the years with about 5 different people and they end up as the worst friendships where I just let myself be walked all over/ end up obsessing about how long they take to reply to messages and get intensely jealous of their other friends. How long a certain person takes to reply can affect my whole mood and outlook on life at that time. I know its really unhealthy but its like I cant break these patterns. But its not romantic feelings, I am happily in a relationship. Its just like obsessive friendships I get into. Has anyone else experienced this before or have any tips/ advice on how to break the cycle?
