Looking For A Word Meaning Difficulty Believing Someone Doesn't Feel The Same Way You Do About Them

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there
I recently read an article online about people who fall in love with people who are not available and have intense emotions and believe they feel the same way too. It was a newspaper article. Tried my search history etc no luck the word was long it was very similar to doppelganger to describe this person

Erotomania?

[Ringlet]

Limerence - "a state of infatuation or obsession with another person that involves an all-consuming passion and intrusive thoughts"

[Old_Geezer]

Unrequited ?

Ok, thinking about, not quite what you're lookng for.

Skeptical maybe.

Blinkered ?

Denialism ?

[choux]

I wonder if gordie meant it was a german word?

this is deffo an element of erotomania

actually your question is different - someone doesnt feel the same about you, and you cant credit it

erotomania you KNOW they are in love with you....
from experience
this is one element of schizophrenia
and I was warned ( yes I was a victim) that love can turn to hate and violence
and I said: it is VERY rare that strangers get stabbed by the mentally ill ( as has happened at Notts, I think)
and my adviser said: she knows you
oo-er Mrs !

not something I dwell on - 2000, 2001 - she was genitally injuring herself, going to cas, saying it was a miscarriage ( doctors cd see it wasnt) and saying I was the father....

well you asked
