TL;DR : I got attached quickly to a guy I’ve only known for weeks, but his busy schedule leaves me hurt and waiting, and I’m struggling to detach because I still hope it might work out.
I won't say both of our age due to private reasons but we're both below 25, me being younger than him.
Context: I know it might sound dumb that I get attached to a guy I just met; maybe it’s because I’ve been yearning for this for so long.
But setting that aside, we’ve only been talking for a few weeks, and I’m already so attached to him — thinking about almost every minute, reposting things on social media that remind me of him, waiting for his message all the time, and the list goes on.
Our main problem is that he doesn’t have time for me. Since he’s juggling both work and school, I barely get any messages from him — unlike when we first started talking. I’m trying to be understanding, maybe it’s just because he’s tired, but I can’t help feeling hurt. And I just can’t bring myself to use the usual methods of detaching, because deep down I’m still hoping this will work out. For the question itself, how do I stop this obsessive feeling for him, while still holding on to a faint hope that things might work out
