You can have like a strong stance.
And then there's your body having its own program.
Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
Hello everybody, I'm Gemma Speck and welcome back to The Psychology of Your 20s, the podcast where we talk through the biggest changes, moments and transitions of our 20s and what they mean for our psychology.
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show, welcome back to the podcast.
It is so great to have you here back for another episode as we of course break down the psychology of our 20s.
I want to talk today about a situation or like the deep state of human longing that
that I receive a whole lot of questions about and a whole lot of stories about all the time.
Finding yourself kind of embroiled in a one-sided love affair with somebody who doesn't want you back.
I get messages about this all the time and I got a message this week from a listener who has been in a situation like this for over two years with a co-worker of hers.
She had like a brief kind of romantic encounter with him like back in the day.
They kind of went their separate ways after he made the decision to break it off.
But she was explaining to me like even after he's gone and moved on, he's got a new girlfriend, her attachment to him hasn't faded.
And it's making it really hard to work.
It's making it really hard to focus.
The thing about this is when you're in it, it feels all consuming.
And like you are the only person in the world who could be so silly or who is so stuck on somebody you know you can't be with.
It feels like how irrational, how strange that our minds cannot let somebody go despite all the reason in the world that this person is not right for us.
but really it is so much more common than you think.
Maybe that doesn't make the yearning hurt any less, but I think it does mean that we can offer a bit of an explanation as to why this happens.
