Why do we become obsessed with people who don't want us back?

For years, The Unhoused has been presented as a monolith in mainstream media. We The Unhoused is a podcast that's changing the narrative.

June is Black Music Month, and on the Drink Champs podcast, we're speaking with the hottest names in the culture, like Swae Lee.
Do you realize how legendary you are? I appreciate that. I be seeing it, but I'm like, man, I still got like so much more to do. Like Prince, he dropped like 30 albums. We dropped like five right now. That's the rate we got to be going. Yeah, that's a good attitude.

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.
You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.

Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man.
Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover, The Family Man on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
