Is it normal that twin flame stuff is driving me insane?

I met this guy a couple years ago, but I'd been hearing his name for many years before that. When I met him, I was sure that he hated me. He was never what I expected him to be though. I never expected him to look the way he did, to be who he was, as kind as he was and as giving. And i certainly never expected that I would fall for him. He seems magical. I used to dream about falling in love and though I thought I knew love before, I fear the real thing is upon me. Unrequited, unreciprocated.

And then I start finding all this twin flame nonsense and it's really not helping. It's turned me into a madwoman! It's been over a year that I've been struggling to shake these feelings, this strange notion that we do share a deeper connection, that a string of light nurtures our separated soul. All of this is only justified in the distance we share.

    It is imaginary. Love doesn't exist. Purely a hormone created in our brains to ensure we reproduce and the species doesn't die out. Sorry to put out your flame.

    • I do have a vivid imagination. I said this same thing to someone a few months ago. It's just hard to accept when those chemicals are still kicking after months of absence, when the universe seems to offer signs and synchronicities. I'm nut even the type of person to hold on to something like this. I haven't felt this way since i was a child.

    Doktor is right. The special meaning we attach to love is a creation of our own minds. There are no soulmates. There is no one out there meant for you or perfect for you. Every relationship will have ups and downs. And if you meet someone who you eventually marry and have a successful relationship with there are at least a million other people that would have given you a relationship that is at least just as satisfying.

    Don't listen to doctor fuckface over there, love does exsist. Saying love doesn't exsist is like saying happiness, sadness, anger or nervousness doesn't exsist. Its e very real emotion. And yes, emotions are chemicals created by the brain, but that doesn't mean they don't exsist.

    Anyway, does your post even contain a question?

    well perhaps 'twin flame' isn't the correct term; however, if you feel such a connection, go with your gut feeling! It's obvious when you feel that connection, there is a reason for it. you probably know eachother from a previous incarnation, and in my opinion you were meant to find eachother. Otherwise, what would be the odds of meeting that particular person in a world population of how many billion???

    I don't see any connection between your situation and the twin flame thing. In your case this is a one way non returned desire, whereas the twin flame thing is a longing or need by both, to be together.
    As you said, "Unrequited, unreciprocated." and I think this is really just a heavy crush, going nowhere. You would be much happier finding an attainable relationship, rather than pining for that which will never be.

    • That's because i haven't given enough information. Honestly, i don't know if the desire is returned and i probably never will. It is not in my interest to find out right now. I don't even want a relationship. I'm in no condition right now to offer myself to anyone. I have to work on me for a while, yet he creeps into the back of my mind, uninvited until I give in and entertain the thought of a union. No matter what i try to tell myself about him or this situation, he's there. I'll think i'm over it and he comes back. I can't help but read into the little things to much.
