This is my stylistic ramblings for things in between: a collection of little niknaks that I found interesting. Totally tumblrd. Just like how my brain functions.

“Limerence is a state of mind characterized by intrusive thinking, longing, uncertainty, hope, misperception, fantasies, and passion. Limerence has been described as ‘having a crush,’ ‘infatuation,’ ‘passionate love,’ ‘puppy love,’ ‘romantic love,’ or ‘being in love.’ It is important to note that limerence is neither love nor sexual attraction. Love, sexual attraction, and limerence can all exist without each other or any or all of them can coexist together.

Limerence has certain basic components

  • intrusive thinking about the limerent object
  • acute longing for reciprocation
  • some fleeting and transient relief from unrequited limerence through vivid imagining of action by the limerent object that means reciprocation
  • fear of rejection and unsettling shyness in the limerent object’s presence
  • acute sensitivity to any act, thought, or condition that can be interpreted favorably, and an extraordinary ability to devise or invent “reasonable” explanations for why neutral actions are a sign of hidden passion in the limerent object
  • an aching in the chest when uncertainty is strong
  • buoyancy (a feeling of walking on air) when reciprocation seems evident
  • a general intensity of feeling that leaves other concerns in the background
  • a remarkable ability to emphasize what is truly admirable in the limerent object and to avoid dwelling on the negative or render it into another positive attribute.”
