The People Whose Crushes Make It Hard for Them to Live
A Word Is Born
In the late 1960s, psychologist Dorothy Tennov, a professor at the University of Bridgeport, began studying a certain kind of lovesickness. Not passion, exactly, or heartbreak but the obsessive, all-consumingfixations we sometimes develop on people who do not feel the same, or whose feelings we cannot be sure about. This phenomenon was hardly new, but no one in Tennov's field had bothered to give it a name. So she named it limerence.

那些 Crushes，让人们艰难生活
一个词的诞生
20 世纪 60 年代末，布里奇波特大学教授、心理学家多萝西·泰诺夫开始研究某种相思病。确切地说，这不是激情，也不是心碎，而是那些你对对你没什么感觉，或者说你不太确定他是不是对你有感觉的这个人所产生的某种强迫性的、全神贯注的迷恋。这个现象没什么新鲜的，这个领域里也没人花心思来给这种情感命名。所以泰诺夫就把这种感受叫 limerence。
