Follow these 5 tricks to stop obsessing over someone

Having secure attachment styles with people is a great thing for relationships. However, when this attachment turns into an insecure form of attachment, it leads to obsessive behaviors. This obsession can be extremely harmful for yourself and your relationship with the other person. It is important in such cases that we sit back and reflect on our obsessive behaviors. There are multiple ways to get rid of this obsessive behavior, here are some ways to stop obsessing over someone-

Talking to your therapist about it. More often than not, insecure attachment styles have a seed in the past or in your childhood. In such cases, the more we get to know about these attachment styles by talking to our therapist and exploring childhood issues and trauma that causes such behaviour, the more we can move towards resolving it.

Another way of not obsessing over someone is not following them on social media. The access to social media these days has led us to be aware of people’s life at each and every point in such cases, and this minute to minute update about someone’s life fuels our obsessive behaviour. So making sure that you do not follow them on any of the social media is probably one of the first steps that you should be taking if you want to stop obsessing over someone.

Distract yourself with other activities that keep you occupied so that you are away from their thoughts. Spend time with family and friends, go for a run, exercise or anything to stay busy.

Journal- Your diary can be your best friend! Use the power of writing to your benefit and jot down all your feelings rather than expressing it in unhealthy ways.

Challenge your thoughts- If you can keep a check on your thoughts by opening a dialogue with yourself and understanding these behaviours, you can learn to control these impulses as well. Reframe how you think and make them more reality based.
