I'm involved in several obsessions right now. Thanks for the advice :-)

No problem. :) It sucks waiting, but it's better than thinking there is something wrong with yourself, when really, there isn't. It's just a matter of limited compatibility.

When you feel an emotion, ignore it, it's just an emotion.


If you don't deal with your emotions, they'll deal with you. This is advice coming from a friend who's been an addiction therapist for a long time. The key is to recognize your emotions and think before acting on them.

Emotions are good things, identifying emotions is the best way to identify why certain situations and certain people make you feel a certain way. It allows me to find someone irritating (but likable) without actually hating them, it allows me to be in an uncomfortable situation without being angry, and it allows me to be attracted to someone without believing they're my soul mate or becoming obsessed.

Just keep trying this approach until you find a girl that likes you. Most of the ones that like you, will come to you anyways. And you can get more out of the girl that likes you, than the girl that you like. Think about it.


I have. And I have thought about being myself as well (don't really have a choice since I suck at most forms of acting anyway)... And, in the end, I came to the conclusion that there is not one woman out there that likes me. So there are no women that will come to me, or for me to "get anything out of", as it were...
