Hello, I hope this forum is still alive. I'm currently experiencing the similar thing as most of you here and I'm glad that I'm not alone.These feelings creeps me out and I feel like a weirdo for this. I don't want to talk about this to the ppl I know because I'm scared they'd think I'm crazy. So a year ago I was in a fandom twitter and this girl and I followed each other. We've interacted several times but never messaged each other, only replied each other's tweets sometimes. During that time, I didn't feel anything towards her, but I thought of her as an online friend.
Long short story I went inactive and eventually didn't use that account anymore so I lost contact with her. But one day–I don't really remember how it started–I began searching for her again. She's a writer so I read her works (and she was a very talented one), I scrolled through her curiouscat to get to know her better and well, from that I found out that we have so many similarities (we're the same age, both southeast asian, majoring in the same study, similar music taste and interests, same favorite films etc) and yeah, my infatuation grew stronger. Call me crazy but I tried to find her other social media and did find them–I even found out her full name and where she studies. The thing is, she lives in the pacific northwest while I'm in southeast asia. I don't know if this is an obsession or a crush or what, but the feeling is intense and it's kind of disturbing me. I have been in love, have had many crushes, but I have never felt like this in my entire life. Mind you, we've never talked again ever since I left my twitter, but I still get the random urge to visit her page. I found her personal twitter too and looked through her photos and the more bizzare thing is, I think somehow we kind of look alike. Sadly she probably deactivated her personal so I never get to see her photos again.
I am not just obsessed with her. I also want to be like her. I want to look like her, to have her personality, her talent, everything. There's also a desire to be romantically involved with her. I do think she's really beautiful and admirable, and that if we ever met we could connect with each other. She's weirdly familiar to me despite us being far away and never really talked let alone met. We're both girls, and when I found out she also likes girls I was so happy as if I had a chance to be with her. I also had dreams about her several times and it was vivid–the last dream I had was I googled her full name but I couldn't remember the rest (or the dream ended when I pressed the search button idk lol) and when I woke up I felt so lost. I want to do the same in reality but somehow something is holding me back, telling me not to do it.
This feeling faded some time ago when I was busy with my stuff but lately it got intense again after I visited her page again and saw that she published a new writing (which I haven't read yet). Now she occupies my mind and it's suffocating me, it's overwhelming. Who is she, actually? A lover or best friend in my past life? Considering that we are from the same ethnicity, is it possible that we had a connection/lived nearby in our previous life? Or is she somehow linked to my fate/destiny in this life? Do we have a chance to meet in this life? I often have this thought about going abroad to the city where she lives, even though it's impossible with my current financial condition. Even if I could, the city is so big that the chance for us to accidentally meet is very small. And I also thought about attending graduate school in her university, who knows if we'd meet in the same department? Then again, this is impossible.
What do you think? I wish it could be possible for us to meet in the future. What is this feeling and who is she? I would call her my other half but it didn't sound right because I think that she is a better, leveled up version of me. She is who I am supposed to be and wish to be with. Now that I've made a new twitter, should I follow her again and try to interact with her like we used to? Maybe I could befriend her and get closer to her that way. I remember she called me pretty once and said that she missed me after I went inactive. Even though I knew it was just a small talk, it really made me happy to think about it. It's been nearly a year and I am still so drawn to her and really want to know her...
