I am obsessed with a man that
>fourteen years my senior
>is way more intelligent
>lives across the country
>I only fucked a few times like four years ago
How do I stop being obsessed with this person? It's starting to filter into my real life. I professed to him that I still have a lingering crush and he was a great influence in my life a few months ago.
It's actually way worse and more stalkery. It only started up this past November 2015 when he released his book and my boyfriend at the time were having problems, and then we broke up. It got stalkery in April 2016. I mean, I always mentioned him in passing with delight for the last four years, but now I obsessively read old messages we exchanged way back when like everyday, and he is in my dreams nonstop. I wrote a long memoir that is just like fantasy to relive. He's also got a cult following and read his book and writings online all the goddamn time. I tried meditation and yoga and running. Podcasts, books, movies. Nothing can make it go away.
I can't stop having escapist fantasy and delusions. I don't know how to fix this. My friends are annoyed. Please help me.

Get over your daddy issues and tunnel vision. Keep it up and you'll grow up into a very dysfunctional adult.

I'm already a very dysfunctional adult.
I don't know, I'm trying to remain single for a while and it's manifesting in very strange ways for me, emotionally.
My day job is the only distraction I have since it's just technical and dry with no room for romance, but even then my true livelihood is creative so it just starts to leak into there.

I'm also not so sure what connotes daddy issues. I mean, my dad and I are alright. My father did cheat on my mother and they split up, but I don't hate him. As far as dads go he could have been a lot worse.
Both my parents were mildly robotic Asian immigrants, so sometimes there was a language and cultural barrier, but I don't think it significant enough to be a huge issue.
