In cases of proximity, I still don’t understand why they don’t just talk/connect/ask out? Im interpreting the behaviors as secretive. Maybe Im misunderstanding, but if they are secretive, why?

As someone with OCD I feel bad for people dealing with limerance. Waking up with and going to bed with the same thought is so painful. /* TW suicidal thoughts */ At the peak of my OCD I concluded that the only way to end my pain was to kill myself. I look forward to learn more about the difference between OCD v limerance.
