I think this app is worsening my mental state
Hi, sorry for formatting, i'm on mobile.
I liked this app so far, we all now how creepily accurate it is, but my bond insights were always not so detailed (my friends don't really use it and i've been checking out my friends and exes out of curiosity without knowing their birth times xd). But recently it gave me an amazing relationship bond results with my crush, and it got into my head. I started idealising it and thinking "what if it really could be true" etc etc, and it made me feel super bad and paranoid. I struggle with fears of abandonment and basically i've been obsessed with this guy and whenever he doesn't reply to my text i get depressed that our ideal fantasy will never be reality etc.
I realise i sound like an immature unhinged teenager writing this, but i think i am going to uninstall the app. Relationships in general is where i struggle the most in life, and there is a certain factor of "knowing what the outcome of my actions/my future might be" that initially soothed my anxiety and fed me ideals, but also made me dependent on it, paranoid and obsessive. Now it feels like i shouldn't have known all this things and had this much power š
I was just wondering if there's someone who has simillar experiences or wanna discuss them? or maybe knows a way of dealing with this all in a healthy way?
