what does this way of thinking mean psychologically

i get trapped in this way of thinking, a lot through my life really.

for eg, there's a few nice women i'm subscribed to on youtube, been subscribed to them years, the two women in particular upload about books and book collecting, reviewing books etc, one young woman is from canada, and the other lady from here in england...and for years i've posted comments on their videos and i always get positive reactions, my comments get a love and validation....and i get that way of thinking where i just want to be the only one who these women interact with, and i really don't like it and feel jealous when i see someome else comment on their videos and interact with these women...........because in my way of thinking, these others shouldn't be in the picture, it should just be me that these women interact with and give attention to......not someone else or a diverse group of people that comment on their videos, i don't like that.................i think it should just be me and these women interacting and everyone else, other users or someone else ( fade away) and not have any say in their videos............because it makes me feel very jealous and i've never liked competition at all.


it should be just ' that woman' and me, no one else. this is how i think when i'm interacting with a woman i like.


i realize this is not right, but why do i get like this, and how can i address it or change it?

You need to address the detachment, abandonment, or trauma bonds that you were forced into or had to deal with in your formative years.

You need to be honest with yourself and a licensed listener as you confront your past, and prepare for your future.

I am not a professional.
But t I am someone that has spent the last 2 years consuming self-help books by the dozens, and psychological health materials and articles by the hundreds.

I’ve even paid for apps and workshop courses as I’ve tried to adjust myself to a more rational state of normal.

Our brains are hardwired into patterns and the only way to break these patterns is to rewire our brains by forcing ourselves to recognize where our synapses fail us.

I still struggle with my synapses and it often feels like I make no progress at all.

Though our stories are quite different and our issues not nearly the same, I offer you this reply from an outside place seeing some similarities.

I wish you well
