Is this logical?

You don't feel like shit because you have oneitis. You have oneitis because you feel like shit. Whenever I start getting obsessive and into oneitis...

During my BP days I could have the greatest time of my life and still wish I had "someone to share it with." There are more covert forms of oneitis that aren't detected because the victim feels great about themselves but they still are thinking about "this one girl."

Like I grew up without a mother, for example, so after I do something huge like get a big scholarship or hit a great PR in the gym, I still wish sometimes a woman could see it and appreciate it. I have other female relatives but they don't care with the same intensity that most mothers do. Usually I'm longing for one specific girl in these situations.

That being said, it's just a passing thought and I start feeling good about myself for becoming a better man. But it's indicative of an underlying issue within my psyche. I'm leading an objectively good life, but every now and then I get the feeling that Cindy the Cute Soccer Player would have been proud to be my GF in that moment.

But yeah everyone's different. Some of my buddies have objectively shitty lives, like mental illnesses, and they don't even care about girls. So I'd say it's a correlation more than causation.
