didnt occur to me to put a "yep and it was great" vs "yep and it's insane" options bc as a limerence-prone person it feels very much both, but on balance insane and miserable and seems to preclude having healthy relationships but i may be wrong

i cant tell whether - people who are able to do things like "eat normally" or "think about anything else" think they've been infatuated when they've just experienced normal crushes, or - whether most people just go batshit when they have a crush and no one talks about it

i was under the impression that limerence just was the technical term for having a "normal crush" and that a normal crush includes all the things the wiki article talks about. do they seem different to you?

i guess it depends on what a "normal crush" is heart fluttering when you see an object of affection? thinking about them near-constantly, in a state of high alertness, to the detriment of your other relationships, possibly with other symptoms like "appetite loss"? or ??
