Devotion anon/ i ask because i was that devoted person and all it got me was heartbreak when my partner lost interest and decided i was too much

I've been there too, although maybe not exactly since I don't know your situation

Learning to let go after the investment and devotion is difficult and painful. It doesn't really leave you either because so much of you can change in the act of being a devotee and its hard to unpack everything after, maybe even unwanted, because its difficult to step away when it was so much of what you did or even how you viewed yourself

This is where i think the line of devotion to obsession gets dangerous, even blinding, for parties involved

Sometimes its like the world is falling apart completely and you dont know how to do anything after because where do you put the energy anymore and how do you recharge what was taken? Its different for everyone so i can't really help much there

Its just.. okay Im not a therapist or anything so like if you need help i cant offer much in words or help

You have to find out how to show devotion without losing yourself in the process. The post you were seeing that started this was very much speaking of a messy but idealized version that owuld only be possible in fiction. I would also argue that it even has a hint of desperation to it but i still stand my original response that the reason it has appeal is because people want the security of someone who wont leave
