Love can feel all-consuming — but when it turns into obsession, it can quietly steal your peace. You think about them constantly, crave their attention, and fear losing them even when nothing’s wrong. Obsessive love isn’t just about intensity — it’s about losing your sense of self in someone else. In this video, we explore the warning signs of obsessive love, why it happens, and how to gently step back into emotional balance. Is your love rooted in connection — or control, fear, and anxiety? Let’s find out together.
