There’s a dating trend floating around TikTok — women saying they want a man who’s “obsessed” with them. But here’s the thing: obsession isn’t love, and it sure as hell isn’t healthy. In this episode of Love, Brie, I get into why this idea grates on me, what it says about our need for validation, and why being obsessed with your own life is the real flex.
You don’t want someone who revolves around you — you want someone who’s centered in themselves, just like you are.
Let’s talk about what a healthy, mutual connection actually looks like.
