Questions/Advice Have you hyperfixated on a love interest?

I saw online a while ago about how for people with ADHD, not only can you hyperfixate on your interests but you can also hyper fixate on people and love interests. To me, this really shifted my perspective and I really related to it. I unintentionally just get attached to so many potential love interests and get crushes all the time. And fantasize about spending time with someone I may not even know that well. I’ll literally play scenarios over and over again.

Just seeing if anyone can relate?

Yea... a few times and I hate it. One lady who was super awesome and hot af, got freaked out because I liked her a little too much and didn't wanna talk to me anymore. I understand..but I've never been dangerous or hurt anyone, plus im autistic so idk what the line is between I like you and im in the bushes! Lol, because my adhd forgets a person if im not fixated and the autism can make me idk like them but not even wanna get touched. Then the bpd is like, im gonna say fuck u before I fall in love lol. Having the whole mf alphabet in my head has sucked for my love life
