What do you do about obsessing over someone you barely see?

Visualise seeing them- strange I know. And then have a little freak out within when I do finally see them.

i try not to think about them. distance myself, surround myself with other people. it gets really hard though.

IF its a close friend that we have lost contact with, consider sending them a message saying hi, If thats not appropriate then consider that maybe life just gets in the way of the connection you once had and that its not them ignoring you. Its just how life can be sometimes,

I try to keep myself busy by doing productive things. Such as cleaning my house, walking my dog, or reorganizing my room.

You can figure out the reasons that may make you want to obsess over someone else you barely see like you missed having a good time with them, they did something nice or even when you were down being a friend to help you through it too.

First of all think about why you barely see them. Is it someone unattainable or is it just that you are far apart? If you're obsessing over them can you ask yourself why, what are your worries and concerns? How is this obsession making you feel? What would you tell a friend who was in this situation? Is there something else going on in your life or affecting you that is leading you to use this obsession as a crutch to ignore the real issue. If it isn't making you feel good it probably isn't worth it. Treat yourself kindly but firmly.

Well, there are healthy obsessions and unhealthy ones: the idea is to listen to your own emotions and try to observe them as if you were at a distance. Are you capable of conducting a nice life? Are you "functioning" well? Are those thoughts affecting the way you relate yourself with other people or, on the opposite, are they making you feel stronger and happier? Are you ready to confess your feelings and unveil your emotions? Love, at first sight, is a thing we can't ignore, but healthy boundaries are the most important thing to aspire to when we admire someone and we're obsessed with them.
