Quick takeaways

  • Addictive thoughts about someone who is not right for you often stem from a narrow perception and overvaluation of the person's qualities.
  • If a person consistently brings emotional highs and hangovers, lacks stability and consistency, and repeatedly breaks our hearts, we must acknowledge that they are not a healthy choice for us and treat them as we would a harmful drug.

Recognizing the addictive thoughts

Addictive thoughts about someone who is not right for you often stem from a narrow perception and overvaluation of the person's qualities. We create fantasies and concoct ideas of a great connection based on fleeting moments and charm. However, it is essential to root our thoughts in reality and assess whether the relationship truly meets our needs.
