Limerence (लिमरेन्स) is intense, obsessive infatuation — your mood depends on one person’s attention, you replay every message, and red flags feel invisible. In Nepali you might call it “one-sided deep attachment” or “dehrai maya tara unhealthy.”
Limerence is not the same as secure love. It is common in affairs, long-distance texting, and unrequited crushes — and it can disrupt marriage and mental health in Nepal.
Signs (लक्षण)
- Intrusive thoughts about one person hours daily
- Mood swings when they reply slow or cold
- Idealizing them — ignoring inconsistency
- Secret checking of social media
- Physical symptoms — chest tightness, nausea when contact drops
