Limerence ..... the shame and embarrassment of it

?

I had to Google it!

@Mary doll, I’ve only just recently got a name for it myself.
Please .....Anyone out there? Like I say im at the tail end (thank goodness) am a little embarrassed ? but well I suppose I’m looking for moral support.

Maybe not very helpful

Limerence is often discussed.

I'd never heard of that word, and I had to look it up. No, I've no experience of it.

Thanks Cherry, at least you knew what I was talking about ?

@Lynn, you learn something every day ?

What is it? I am not going to google , it could be similar to when I googled bandage , well thought I had googled bandage

After being in a long relationship with a Narcissist, yes I can fully understand what limerence can mean

Bless you Annie, I wouldn’t want to shock you. Thanks for making me smile though ?

What are you suggesting?

Annie you need to distinguish your a from your o. Clearly if you mix them up it can get you in all sorts of trouble

I thought limerence might be something to do with liquorice, but clearly it isn't, only I never liked liquorice much but that never embarrassed me

I suggest a mug of Horlicks and an early night.

We have had a thread on this before and my reaction is why give it a silly pseudo scientific name?

I was looking for support here, not judgement.
I feel bad enough as it is and now I’ve tears in my eyes.
This has really upset me.

I suggest you read right through the previous thread including the origins of the term.
What we used to call a “crush” (when we were young and foolish)

Bit breezy again today.

What a bunch of nasty women.

I have never heard of the wors so I have googled it and no it has never happened to me, sorry I cannot help.

Is that it ? Never heard of it by that fancy name Why not call it what it is
Is someone trying to get people to tell their stories

I once had a terrible crush on my PE teacher at Roehampton.

Does that count?

I'm sorry, GrannyH50 but I'm afraid I'm with Maw on this. Giving credence to it by calling it 'limerence' - total psychobabble in my opinion - just encourages people to think of it somehow as being understood and endorsed by psychologists, something one should be able to 'get help for'.
You had a teenage crush, which you really should be able to deal with at your age.
