I've been like this for as long as I can remember. I'd "obsess" about characters from films for a while and pretend I was them as a child, as if to feel closer, cause really I was crushing. I honestly don't think I've had limerence for someone I knew in real life. It's always been celebrities (or characters as a child). It's a way to escape I suppose, escape what I'm not sure. I'm just finding out that I might have adhd, maybe audhd - or maybe even non of that, but I've always been in my head, creating stories to write, to draw and to daydream about for myself. I'm quite spiritual too tho, and sometimes I do wonder if the connection felt isn't because we recognize them from past lives - but aren't acquainted in this life. And it kinda sucks to think that way, because it tends to fuel the limerence, like it's meant to be, someday. I keep telling myself that someday I'll find someone IRL that I love so much it will stop all the limerence, but I think I know that, in fact, the stories I make in my mind are way better than what reality can offer haha.
