How to Stop Making False Scenarios in Your Head

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hampton U chapter.

You just met this person; you guys have been hanging out, doing the dirty and you start catching feelings. I am telling you girl, you must stop. I am the type of girl that when she meets a boy that she likes, she starts to imagine her wedding day, kids, everyday life with him etc. That is not healthy, and you will become delusional. 

I was in a situation where I was just doing the dirty with a boy, but I had become so obsessed and literally in love with him for no reason, just by imagining situations in my head. Not going to lie, he was sexy and attractive, but he honestly didn’t care for me that much. My friends started noticing it and it was not cool at all. I was barely talking to him, but I had put this weird thing in my mind that he was the best thing that happened to me.

Now, when I look at it, it feels so silly to me that I can imagine these things. So, because I don’t want you to go through the same, I am going to share with you some tips how you can manage your daydreaming skills. 

 

  • Try to acknowledge and make yourself realize that he doesn’t think about you at all as much as you think about him. 
  • If you catch yourself daydreaming and making scenarios, stop. This man is not going to be your husband and you guys are not going to have kids. 
  • Listen to your friends; they are the ones that can 100% notice if you are acting delusional or not. 
  • Remember the GOLDEN RULE- If he wanted to, he would. 
  • Sis talk to other boys. That is the best way to get that man of your mind and to try to look at the situation differently. 
  • If that person actually cares for you and actually likes you, you can create unrealistic stories and get disappointed. Remember, nobody is perfect and nobody is going to live it up to the expectations.
