Shared Obsessive Love Disorder (S-OLD)

A disorder where 2(or more) people who know each other develop obsessive love towards the same 3rd invidual. Either of the indviduals may be in relationship with the 3rd indvidual but this is not required.

S-OLD Imposed Type

In imposed type one of the two indviduals, known as the “inducer”, intially develops obsessive love towards the 3rd indvidual and encourages the other individual, known as the “acceptor” to develop simlar tendincies. This encouragement could be intentional or accidental. The acceptor may also play a part in mimicing the inducer’s behavior towards them.

If the acceptor is seperated from the inducer, it is likely that after a few months they will no longer have any obsessive tendicies whereas the inducer will likely still have obsessive tendicies in future relationships.

S-OLD Simutaneous Type

In simutaneous type both indviduals develop obessive love independent of each other. They may still encourage each others symptoms tho.
