To be consumed by obsessive thoughts or behaviours about a romantic partner after a separation, particularly when the breakup was caused by one partner's fear of emotional intimacy or commitment due to the relationship's inevitable end, often due to geographical distance. The individual experiencing this state is unable to achieve emotional closure, leading to a continual preoccupation with the past relationship.

Describing a state of confusion or uncertainty in a friendship caused by external pressure or assumptions that there is romantic potential between two friends. This occurs when others believe the two individuals are romantically interested in each other, leading the friends themselves to question whether such feelings exist, and potentially to search for or misinterpret signs of attraction. This dynamic can create emotional confusion and ambiguity about both the other person’s feelings and one’s own.
"After everyone started hinting that there was something between them, Emily felt completely eflamated, unsure whether she was just seeing romantic signs because of what others had said."
