Oneitis

[DarknLost]

Oneitis (also known as limerence and, depending upon other factors, unrequited love) describes a state of consistent romantic obsession with a person who is not in a relationship with you. A oneitis is often unrequited, can last for months, years, or even decades, and can be psychologically devastating for the person suffering it, leaving them only in the realm of fantasy.



Effects
Oneitis is psychologically unhealthy. Time spent obsessing over a oneitis can interfere with almost everything, and severely hamper personal progress. The effect of unrequited love can lead to mental health issues. A degraded mental state, combined with obsession, can also cause a person to not pay attention to legitimate interest from others, making oneitis a vicious circle.

Healthy males don't have onetises.

Normal functioning men want to experience as many women as possible

They don’t obsess over one woman

I wouldn't say that's necessarily true.

Unlike the popular belief it's Men and not Women who are more prone to developing Romantic feelings.
