Just wanted to blah somewhere because an idol has caught my attention, after a few years of being away from the scene. This time, I have a very busy work schedule, so as much as I learn from idols, it’s not great when I’m thinking too much about them instead of doing my job!
I understand why I was hooked to the last idol: I was going through a tough time and him, as well as the group he belonged to, were great soothing mechanisms. I was taking comfort in them.
Does this mean I’m going through a hard time now? I don’t really know, but I don’t think so. I’m frankly baffled by this sudden obsession, which is why I’m making this post.
The last time, I had found a technical (psychological) term to describe what I was going through. Remembering this term this time seems important (it’s not limerence or the idea of parasocial relationships). I suppose I will update this post if or when I remember what it’s called.
In the meantime, I imagine others here may have had a similar experience… So if you have any thoughts or ideas, throw them my way.
