>Oneitis, or unrequited love, describes a state of consistent romantic obsession with a person who is not in a relationship with you
Do you suffer from this in your country?

Yeah, I've been obsessed with her since the first time I saw her walking with her dog in 2022. I could easily enter her home through the roof in the middle of the afternoon when she's alone, rape her and kill both of us after, but I don't want to do her any harm unless she asks me to.

I was like this as a teenager and in my early twenties. Spent five years obsessed with my ex from high school because she was cool and smart and dumped me because she got into Yale. I was convinced she was going to be a billionaire or successful politician or something.

Instead she got a meme degree, gained 70lbs, came out as a lesbian, moved to the West Coast to do grunt work for a SJW charity, and married a woman who runs a cat shelter.

It's not worth obsessing over women because you never know how things will turn out. I'll never get back all that time I spent moping.

I'm 29 now. Suffered from extreme oneitis between ages 18 to 24. Almost killed myself once from being so depressed knowing she will never love me. Now? I don't give a fuck anymore about my regrets. I'm emotionless steel. I look back and laugh. Time truly makes it better.

no matter how much i think about her it doesnt bring her back

I would say that it's better to like someone than to love someone. When you hit that love stage you start putting up with bullshit that you normally wouldn't allow. So personally, I would much rather be with someone I like than love.

Sort of, but it wasnt entirely unrequited it was..I dont even know. Aimless and unproductive flirting? Being on a backburner?
The one that really pissed me off was a date I thought went well then nothing.
>>
had one back in high school, obsessed over 2 years; find it laughable, now I am a man of steel and don't give a fuck about getting a gf/wife in present and upcoming future also there is not much trust among people. And if I had a ideal girl I wish she isn't too involved twitter/reddit/ig and politics stuff but it's hard to find someone like that

I did, a long time ago. I was in a state of complete despair, but I refused to give in to it out of disgust with myself. To feel normal again, I think you need to approach your situation empirically: take note of activities that even momentarily distract you from thinking about her, or that make the grief more tolerable, and engage in those activities frequently.

Some things that worked for me:
- Hanging out with friends
- Talking with close confidents about her
- Outlets of expression (Playing music, writing, drawing, etc.)
- Reading (Call me gay, idfc, but I read a lot of Nietzsche during this time, his writings are extremely life affirming and powerful, I felt a significant sense of accomplishment from overcoming my situation)
- Working

Obviously the things that worked for me might not work for you, so what works for you is likely highly personal It's really important to remember that you lived your life before you met her, so it's not impossible to return to that state.

Finally, and this is probably one of the hardest things to comprehend while in an infatuated state: You're not grieving the loss of a perfect, incomparable person who failed to reciprocate your feelings. But you ARE grieving the loss of a fantasy that obscured a flawed person’s imperfections. Even if something had worked out between you and this person, once you move beyond the honeymoon phase of a relationship, those imperfections would no longer be softened by rose-colored lenses, and you would begin to notice challenges you hadn’t seen before. In my case, I realized that this “perfect 10/10” I could talk to and snuggle with for hours was, in reality, a deeply flawed person who likely would have made my life hellish down the line. This becomes far more apparent the further into recovery you get.

Baffled that its taking some of you years to get over it, but hopefully this helps.

as soon as i found out my oneitis found a partner, my fantasies about having a life with this woman crumbled into dust
worst was losing our hypothetical daughter
i was grieving like picrel for days
ive never felt pain like that in my life before
emotional pain that also manifested itself physically
and i was really angry with myself for not asking her out
we were really into each other but im broke and unemployed and aware what that does to relationships so i didnt pursue

ive been trying to get back with my ex for the past 2 years where there was some back and forth, until i found out she found someone else.
she was my first and only gf (yes shocking i know). we were together for only 3 months, but she ticked all the boxes (crudely speaking) and im usually a very picky person. i still haven't found anyone even close to her level, and i see no point in settling for less.

i feel you broski
>>
>>217670805
iktf, realizing that you have to let go of every beautiful scenario of a hypothetical life with her hurts bad enough that it makes you feel gut wrenching pain, its insane. i think as far as physical symptoms as concerned, the total and complete loss of my appetite was the most worrying thing for me, i could go days without eating and would basically have to force feed myself.

>we were really into each other but im broke and unemployed and aware what that does to relationships so i didnt pursue
heh, same situation here basically, I think this is partly why things didnt work out between us, too, and i DID ask her out. that being said, i channeled my grief towards turning my life around, and now im happier than i ever have been in life.
in a way, all the misery i endured may have been one of the best things to have ever happened to me.
>>
>>217675358
im a very religious person. i firmly believe God sent her to teach me a lesson (and He did). i was very inexperieced and emotionally driven in our relationship, which eventually lead to its downfall. i know my mistakes and it wont happen again. as painful as it was i have to be optimistic the future. we will all make it.

OF? or any link?

>>217676182
>the total and complete loss of my appetite
holy fuck same here dude
always lived a healthy lifestyle and never got ill so it was a huge surprise
i thought losing appetite means you dont get hungry
you do, you fucking do
but you cant eat past 2 or 3 bites
same as you i had to force myself to eat and it took a long while to get back to my normal eating portions

>you have to let go of every beautiful scenario of a hypothetical life
before this experience i was like this nigga over here >>217673850
you really have no idea until it happens to you

>turning my life around
im currently at this stage and this conversation with you is giving me much needed hope and encouragement
god bless you anon, truly

Yeah I've had a few oneitises. I actually managed to be in a relationship with mine for 7 years until she left me last year. Let me tell you, as soon as you actually obtain a oneitis you'll realise that they are just people with flaws and insecurities just like you.
>>
>>217661637
Yes, if you feel strongly for someone it can be hard to just forget all that and transfer it all onto a new one starting from scratch.

no problem dude, we’re all in this together
my final piece of advise: find MEANING in life that doesnt involve her or the pursuit of romance, you desperately need to find something that you can actively work towards that gives you something to look forward to, even in her absence.

another thing: going back to nietzsche, ive found the concept of eternal recurrence ( basically the idea that once you die youll have to live your life all over again forever) to be an extraordinarily powerful framework for guiding my actions. if im going to live this life over again, i dont want to spend it wallowing in despair, but even if i do, i see despair as a catalyst that sets me on the right path.

>>217678530
no, because i can view her more objectively now and realize that although shes stunningly pretty, more so than about 99% of women ive met, she was very immature to the point that it caused her previous relationships to end catastrophically, if i were to have ended up in something more serious with her, it wouldve most likely resulted in something similar happening. i would often dismiss her character flaws when i was in love with her as cute little quirks, but i recognize now that that was incredibly foolish.

also, once the infatuated wore off, i began to feel attracted to women other than her once again, and have since hooked up with people whos company i equally enjoy who actually reciprocate my feelings. i like this far far more than any fictitious "what could have been", for a lack of better words. i still feel love for people, but its far more tempered and healthy now.

fight like fucking hell to get your life back on track, what youre going through is basically like an addiction

its a very bumpy road, youll likely oscillate between feeling brief moments of respite and relief before spiraling back into grief over her not loving you back, but i promise that this is only a part of the healing process, and if you do everything in your power to continue living your life without her, youll learn to enjoy life again

like i said in my original post, take note things that make you feel better, and also things that trigger your grief. you need to approach this empirically to find what works best for you

I hope so, because it's been months and nothing helps. I've tried talking to other girls, going to the gym, improving my appearance, improving my skills, working on my future career. But the impulsive thoughts remain, and what's worse, sometimes she appears in my dreams, and it ruins my whole day

After that experience, everything is different, your way of relating is different, your goals are shifted, you genuinely don't care about other people.

It's a horrible thing when you're incel (much everything else in our lives), but it's something I wish everyone could experience.

No, it is only a great experience if you both feel the same thing. If she just wants you to be friends, it can seriously fuck up your life. Especially, when trying to find another girl, because your standards will be pushed to such a high level that almost no girl will match them
