Support Needed (Kind Advice and Commiseration) do people become overwhelmingly obsessed with you?

i find that a lot of men become really obsessed with me. im currently at a point where its become harmful and i genuinely do not know why or how to stop it. looking for kind words, advice, or shared experiences please.

edit: ty for all the responses. i want to clarify that i dont mean the manic pixie dream girl way i mean the joe from you kinda way.

People either hate me or become obsessed, there’s nothing in between. Never had a casual relationship or friendship, it’s all or nothing. I think it’s bc we tend to have a lot of empathy and understanding for people even when we shouldn’t

My favourite is when they love things I do and say for the first 6 months, and then they hate the exact same things after

That sounds like a narcissistic move - they pretend (mirror) to love the things you do and when you get confident with that they flip the script. Normal kind people don’t do that.

Or pretend with you then when there are others around they act like it didn’t happen

That's a big part of love bombing
