The "snuff" in my name is not a reference to drugs I promise, its a children's cartoon character that I love.
I came across the concept of limerance from the stuffpy Childhood Fairy. I really related to a lot of the people writing her. I've never been in a real relationship to be honest, not even a trashy one. Only guys who want to be "emotional" friends with benefits (since I'm christian and follow a law of chastity). I've had a few men tell me that they care, imply in words that they care at the same time not having any plans to have me in their life, not even really as a sub-friend. I've been in "romantic friendships" with men I was even repulsed by in appearance (did not take care of themselves) and behavior (were lude and childish) yet I still kept going because I thought that at least someone liked me enough to keep me around. Its always my fault too when it ends(too mousy, too pushy, not fun enough), and than they move on to an actual relationship. I've decided to make a serious course correction, stop having trashy half-baked relationships and learn how to have a real one.

Welcome - we’re glad you are here.
I would really like to see you believing that you are good enough the way you are, and that you have a lot to offer the world.
This website has it all - discussions of the different ways love addiction shows up; personal stories; and lots of instruction on working the Twelve Steps. I suggest you read, read, read - and there are also Zoom meetings available, and a whole board about them.
