NOTE

How to Stop Addictive Thoughts About the Wrong person

How do you stop addictive thoughts about a man who's not right for you? The key is to understand that these thoughts stem from an emotional attachment, despite knowing logically that he's not a good fit. It's important to recognize that these thoughts are based on a fantasy, not reality. When it comes to someone we have a crush on, there may be an addictive quality to wanting their attention. However, once they show disinterest or ghost us, our interest should wane. It's crucial to assess why we're holding onto someone who doesn't meet our needs. Just because someone possesses attractive qualities doesn't mean they have the willingness to build a fulfilling relationship. Accepting what we truly need allows us to let go of these addictive thoughts and move forward.
