I have to be romantically attached to 2 people at a time.
so I’m gonna start off with I don't cheat. I have an anxious attachment style and I will become literally obsessed with my partner’s. to the point I’ll adopt their personality and style. then when things are over idk who I am and I’m just a Frankenstein mixture of all of my exes personalities. my partner will literally become my whole life. it’s unhealthy and often times I don't even realize I’m doing it.
i’m also obsessed with Michael Jackson. I do this similarly with him, just not in the same way because I don’t actually know him. I’m also talking to this guy and it’s getting really serious, like passionately making out and talking constantly serious. I’m worried i’ll repeat the same cycle. so I’ve been attaching myself to MJ in order to not suck this man of all his joy and life.
it’s like a cheat code. if I’m sucking the blood from the neck of someone else, I’ll be too full to suck his. metaphorically speaking anyways. so far it’s working, I think about this guy normally, I’ll still be flustered and giddy or whatever but now I have room to retreat if I want to. he knows I’m obsessed with MJ too, he even feeds into it by sending me reels daily and whatnot. he’s starting to learn about him too, we‘ll spit facts at each other like a “who knows him better” competition.
idk why he does that, I find it cute. when he mentioned MJ early on i was lil a STOP YOU LIKE HIM? and he admitted he only knew like 3 songs. so he’s clearly learning about him recently. but I feel so normal now, like I can give this guy just enough and take just enough, without the crazy. I‘m planning on keeping my ED and BPD on the down low until it gets to a point where it’s worth mentioning. I don’t want to scare him off, but I just cracked the code. Dating MJ in my head and dating this guy IRL
