Obsessive love

Sometimes, people can feel a super strong pull towards another person, like magnets that just won't unstick! This is called obsessive love. It's like wanting to be best friends with someone, but wanting it SO much that you can't stop thinking about them. It's not always a happy feeling, and it can make the person feel sad or even a little bit scared if the other person doesn't feel the same way.

Imagine you really, really want to play with a specific toy, and even if someone says 'no' or takes it away, you still want it more than anything. That's a little like obsessive love. The person can't let go of their feelings, even if the other person isn't interested. It's like their brain is stuck on repeat, thinking about that one person all the time.

When someone has obsessive love, it can feel like they have a superpower to only see one person. But sometimes, this 'superpower' can make them feel really down, like their tummy is full of rocks. They might not want to play with their other friends or do their favorite things anymore.

It's important to remember that everyone's feelings are different, and it's okay if someone doesn't like you back the same way.

In healthy friendships, we share toys and take turns. But with obsessive love, it's like wanting to keep the toy all to yourself, forever! The person might try to control who their special person talks to or what they do. This isn't fair to the other person. It's always best to be kind and respect that everyone has their own feelings and choices.
