I put them on pedestals. iin?

Whenever I REALLY admire or love someone, I tend to over idealize them, and I see them as better/higher than me in every way. I think that they're perfect and that they can do no wrong. Is this normal thinking?

    While it's normal, it's not healthy.

  • It's dangerous thinking. And could lead to A LOT of disappointment.

    I don't think in a normal relationship this would be healthy for you as it might be very disappointing or leave you completely vulnerable to being taken advantage of . I once fell for a woman like this and it wasn't my best choice even though I still adored my experience ( the good parts ) It's okay to adore someone and really love them with all your heart but make sure you value yourself ! I participate in D/S relationships on and off and so I know how it feels to be put up there but I also adore and appreciate the woman whole heartedly , I have the utmost respect for them . I want you to make sure your partner does also , not matter if you are dating vanilla or what not .

    It's a baaaad idea. I had a boyfriend who did that, and I didn't like it, and when I broke up with him he was very bitter and extremely resentful, and basically finally stopped seeing me on a pedestal.

    I do that sometimes, especially with role models that I highly respect. I practically worship one of my professors; she can do no wrong in my eyes. I hang on every word she says!

    I did that, it ended badly. Didn't learn my lesson the first time and did it again, it ended badly the second time too. It's hard not to, but you have to try. You'll only get hurt otherwise.

    "I have loved to the point of madness. That which is called madness, that which to me is the only sensible way to love."

    Oh, it has been sometime since I have experienced that sort of bliss.
