So, what are the signs youre in one?

Ask yourself: Do I fantasize about someone a lot even though were not together?

In fact, weve just started texting.

Have I imagined a life with someone even though weve not been on a single date yet?

If the answer to any of these is yes, then youre probably in a delusionship.

Yes, you could be in one with your barista,Timothee Chalamet, or your coworker.

Effectively, a delusionship is 2023s way of saying youre thinking a lot about a crush.

So, yes, weve all been there.

If this all sounds very familiar and now youre worrying whether its a potentially toxic habit, fear not.

Dr. West says a delusionship is inherently bad: Its okay to daydream about people and potential relationships.

Think of your delusionship as a way of trying that person out.

Translation: The real person might not be as good as your delusion of them.

(In fact, theyre often not.)
