I face the reality of it. What does that person mean to me? How is my relationship with that person? How do I think it is? What should it be? Measure the value of it, then decide if it would be worth it in the long run or just irrational obsessivism.

Essentially it's just me missing my significant other as we are both living in different countries at the moment. Granted they are next to each other lol, but my work and social life are not distracting me enough from missing him, so I'm taking other suggestions. I volunteer and play sports, but it's still not enough.

I was trying to say that the solution isn't distraction.

@Meisje: The root issue could possibly be that you lack faith in yourself. Otherwise your thoughts wouldn't jump to irrational conclusions. I don't mean that as an insult.

@TheObservatory: I never claimed I have irrational conclusions. Missing someone and thinking about them often means thinking of fond memories and positively of that person. It doesn't necessarily have to be negative or reveal insecurities. It could for some, but not in my case.

@Meisje: Good to know that, however positivity is also considered irrational. However thats just my opinion. I hope you solve the issue.☺
