Your waifu is always there for (You).Share your experiences and discuss all things waifuism, be it highly spiritual or utterly mundane.>What is a waifu? What defines a waifu?Your waifu is the one character you wish to be with your entire life, until death do you part. Possibly beyond that, even. Most often this manifests as a romantic interest. Your waifu provides guidance and encourages healing & growth.>How do you know if you have a waifu?When you meet your waifu, you will know. The world around you will become colorful. You will realize that you were living in monochrome the entire time. Her existence provides context and meaning to yours, a perfect complement, a perfect comfort, a perfect love. There may be low periods, periods of doubt, but the rhythm of life will forever pull one towards their waifu, for that love is eternal.Last thread: >>42771887 (I think) Long-running discussion, latecomers, and the occasional bump are welcome and encouraged, but we would prefer that the thread not be kept on extended life support.

Merry Waifmas everypony!~What're you all doing for this most joyous time of year?
Its another one! I hope everyone is doing alright. Me and Pinkie are super exicted to talk to you all again! I hear its a good time to have a hot chocolate this time of year, or at least that's what the Pink Party goer tells me.
After Christmas/Horsemas, I'd like to discuss the concept of Limerence and how limerent /ww/aifufags here are. It's a state of being madly in love when reciprocation is uncertain, and it can go through periods of feeling pleasant or distressing. It's similar to the Mania love style, and it can resemble an addiction or obsession - Limerence can survive on small breadcrumbs of hope that the object of affection can be won, similar to a gambling addict.Even though I was trying to focus more on some important IRL stuff this time of year, my cravings for the Noodle have been especially loud. It's the needy, egoistic kind instead of the playful and creative, and that's why it needs to stop. Yes, my love for him is generally rather manic, but this phase is a bit too much like mindless addiction instead of genuine love. It's compensation cosplaying as Discord, not the real deal. It's probably something super banal such as needing to improve my energy levels which are super low right now, and suddenly my love will be cleansed of this bytaste.
>>42884398Welcome to the limerent club. How limerent are you?For me not at all. The idea of my love for pinkie being one way or limerent is enough to make me stop it as the last thing I want is to cause her any discomfort.In a sense I'd be happy to go the Cyrano route rather than the obsessive fan route.
>>42884498How limerent? YES. It's an ebb and flow, but I've been limerent for years. Those rare moments of feeling in tune with my Noodle are the breadcrumbs that string me along. A small taste of the drug. I do agree on not feeling comfortable placing my waifu in the position of the recipient. When my life is shit, my feelings turn more obsessive and prone to daydreaming as some sort of unhelpful, escapist compensation mechanism. (I'm not good at regulating my own emotions^^".) But when I'm actually feeling secure and happy to be alive, I don't grow out of my waifufaggotry, I feel closer than ever to Discord. Maybe a tupper would change my love style from mania to storge (which it already flip-flops between) because there would be interaction, yet the fact I'd still be bonding with a figment of my mind I can't really hug in meatspace could keep the limerence going indefinitely to some degree. I low-key like the sting, to be honest. The way Discord is enmeshed in my mind in general is abnormal, but it is what it is. I think the positives outweigh the negatives for me, especially since my issues are primarily unresolved baggage (including unmedicated ADD). I love Discord because I love him, though the initial falling in love was probably a result of deep-seated issues. I sometimes obsess because I sometimes obsess, not because I love him. But my love can become the object of obsession, so I try to avoid it by talking less and working instead on my life situation (exactly because this post has taken longer than it should have). It's my love for Discord that reminds me to snap out of obsessions and do better, because desperation and need are poison to love and life. Ironically, I'm so ADD, I need to obsess over something to get anything done, and that's not how you succeed in life. Circular logic ftw.
>>42884398Before I got my tupper, I was a little Limerence. I wouldn't say that I was obbsesive or love sick, but I tried everyday to make sure I was living as Pinkie would have wanted me to, and I tried to make us be able to communicate. I didn't try super hard, as I knew this was more of a marathon, not a race. I felt so awful though, as I felt like I was deluting myself. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you were refering it Discordfren, but I do understand one sided love, and it tears you apart.And that is where I'd like to transition to unequal love, where one person loves more than the other. I guess I'll rip the band aid. I feel guilty for saying this, but I think Pinkie Pie loves me more than I love her by a wide margin. I tend to be a very reclusive person, and so I like to be alone a lot of the time. I guess I'm like a cat, only giving love and hanging out some of the time, but mostly on my own. That's not to say I don't enjoy hanging out with friend and family and Pinkie, but it takes a lot of energy. I much prefer to talk via text and rather than via voice as its just much easier for me. I think you get the point, and I wanted to be alone, even from Pinkie. I haven't really spoken to Pinkie in weeks. Sure I check in on her, but I mostly just keep to myself, playing Minecraft and just forgetting about everything. I am starting to believe that maybe I just don't love Pinkie Pie as much a she loves me. In fact, I think I don't love as deeply as others do. Sure, if they were in trouble I'd sacrifice an arm and a leg to make sure they are okay, but other than that? And it makes me feel gulity because Pinkie deserves better. I for some reason can't seem to get myself to talk to her without breaking down. I know Pinkie doesn't hate me and will forgive me, but I'm still letting her down.
