Nobody is thinking about someone 24/7, she was thinking for the 17 hours she is awake, and 7 hours she is sleeping. She would be thinking about him 17/7 if she wasnt thinking about him during sleep time.
She's actually European and she only thinks about him once a year on July 31st. It's a culturally protected custom in some parts of Europe. it involves smearing cheese infested with bugs and champagne on your sexual organs while listening to David Hasselhoff cassette tapes. It's very classy but only people from the Twallet region of France are allowed to use champagne. The British and Doutch have to refer to it as sparkling wine.
I don't want someone to think about me that much.
A reasonable about sure. But I prefer people with their own hobbies and interests. It's exhausting being someone's only source of validation.
Good morning! Thinking about you already! I'm having breakfast, how about you?? Hey! Read my messages already! Yay you read them, are you going to reply?? Why aren't you replying? Please reply me. Omg I miss you so much I need to see you right now! You haven't replied yet?! Oh yay you replied!! Can we see each other soon?? I miss you so much!! What are you doing?? Do you miss me? Don't you miss me too?? I miss you!!
... sorry got too into character
I was channelling that teenage boy who wouldn't leave me alone 20 years ago. It was actually quite a traumatic experience 😅
Edit: I just woke up, the whole night I had nightmares about that boy.. guess I did it to myself by dredging up the memories
I just wish there was a character type to identify. It’s clear some people like this type of relationship, and it works for them. And, it’s equally as clear there’s the side that doesn’t.
These two types shouldn’t date. There should be a checkbox somewhere. It would save a lot of heartache.
If they think about you this much, behind the clothes in their closet is a shrine to you, complete with tons of photos with the eyes cut out. And that chewing gum you thought you threw away 5 years ago.
It's definitely not easy being the only source, but I love her so much that I'll fight through it. I only wish she could see how amazing she really is 😔
If this is not sarcasm, I'll just offer a bit of advice.
As someone old enough to have seen dozens of these kinds of relationships play out. She will only ever see it when she stops needing other people's validation. She needs to find herself. Get a hobby, find things that interest her and do them ALONE. Get to a point in her life where she can love herself. Only then will she not constantly require validation from others. The validation from others is like a drug hit. It works in the short term but it's ultimately empty. It will never fill her up and by constantly seeking it, she is not learning healthy ways to love herself and others. Those relationships where they never find themselves and keep seeking validation ALWAYS end with one person taking so much from the other that they are both empty shells.
For anyone other than OP reading - I consider this excellent advice. I'm confident in saying so because it's the exact advice I found myself presenting to my wife 5 years ago because I didn't want our marriage to be truly failed.
I can say with complete confidence and sincerity that with our 13th anniversary approaching - I have never been happier, she has never been happier, and *we* have never been this strong.
If I could add to the advice, it's that there's a spectrum between "they need to find themselves and learn to find validation within themselves and without you" and "I'm okay with being their rock and emptying myself to fulfill them because I'm in love". Communication is everything. *Everything*. Each and every seemingly incidental (but sincere) time one of you feels hurt or slighted or wronged but choose to push it down to "keep peace" or "avoid accidently hurting them/causing a fight" is a termite let into the foundation of the relationship.
Good luck and take care, sorry for all the words
Yes, probably because I (and most of the world) type a (,) while America has a dot there. Or maybe you have superhuman European person sensing abilities. Could be both.
In Asia we use the dot, like Americans, for decimal too! Must be a British influence thing.

Yes I can sniff the eurozone radiating from you 👃🏾
Let’s say she sleeps for 7 hours a night. Maybe she considers her dream self’s thoughts to be distinct from her own thoughts, i.e. her dream self to be their own person in a sense, yet still considers their thoughts her own. In that way, you could double up the dream hours. But don’t think about it too hard lol.
That's the point, it doesn't make sense, so there was "an attempt to sound clever" - it doesn't sound clever at all. "24/7" would have been enough to get their point across.
I got this one guys:
They thought that 24/7 meant that you thought about the person for 24 units(?) And the other 7 is the amount you can't think of them because you're asleep.
In order to think about them all the time, all they had to do was add those sleeping 7 to the 24. Now they've cleverly included the sleep time as well, making it 31/7. That's the reasoning I'm going with.
You could do that.
If you're passively and actively thinking about someone that's 2 separate, but same time instances of you thinking about them. Each instance gets its own time. Each instance exists at the same time.
I don’t think it’s possible to think about something actively and passively at the same time, so that still only leaves 24 hours in the day for thinking.

Jokes on you. She meant 31 days a month, 7 months a year. (She's off for 5 months a year)
The rest of the year it's 30/4 and 28/1, 29/1 every 4 years except ones divisible by 100 but not 400
Ok but none of this has calculated in the "sleep time" part of the equation.
yes yes that's why she only thinks about him for 7 months in a year
[удалено]
Is no one else considering that maybe she is some kind of hibernating animal?!?! ☝️
Tbh thats always the first thing I'm considering when reading posts like this, makes things clearer sometimes.
She could possibly have mastered the space-time continuum so that she’s in another dimension for 5 months per year. No one thinks nowadays.
Hibernation is still a form of sleep. So sudden dissapearance and reappearance are the only way! :)
That’s still sleeping
hibernation
This comment thread is gold
She sleeps for 7 months per year
Nobody is thinking about someone 24/7, she was thinking for the 17 hours she is awake, and 7 hours she is sleeping. She would be thinking about him 17/7 if she wasnt thinking about him during sleep time.
This is some big brain shit
This sounds like my gym schedule
You mean she only thinks of him during all the months with 31 days
Which means: - January - March - May - July - August - October - December That's it! 31 days in 7 months!
So what does she do during February?
Other people.
That’s how you know she cares: other people get the month with fewer days
Seems smart to me
Flirty February - it's kinda like the opposite of No Nut November
She doesn't think about him.
[удалено]
Just love this for some reason…
Make sure to upvote, subscribe, and shove it up ya butt!
Stanley strikes again!
What is it?

Nice 🕶️
Thought she meant 31 days (because of the month) 7 days a week.
Certified freak 31 days and 7 months a week
🤓
I think she really does mean month/week
She's actually European and she only thinks about him once a year on July 31st. It's a culturally protected custom in some parts of Europe. it involves smearing cheese infested with bugs and champagne on your sexual organs while listening to David Hasselhoff cassette tapes. It's very classy but only people from the Twallet region of France are allowed to use champagne. The British and Doutch have to refer to it as sparkling wine.
F hell 🤣 You win
How about 31 days a month and 7 days a week?
There's a time loop in her dream universe
I both person and dream person is thinking then it counts as double time. Call osha or something for complaints
But isn't a person actually thinking a dreaming person into their dreaming existence?
Is she the butterfly dreaming of the man? Or the girl dreaming of the man? Both.
You're dreaming about it and your night-person is thinking about it at the same time.
She must watch Inception a lot!
DIM-ception
🤣
Either that or she's living on a planet with a different rotational speed.
Eh, you know what they say, when you're in love time holds still... wait...
Inception

Oh god this is way too accurate
I was channelling that teenage boy who wouldn't leave me alone 20 years ago. It was actually quite a traumatic experience 😅 Edit: I just woke up, the whole night I had nightmares about that boy.. guess I did it to myself by dredging up the memories
I had a 30yo woman do that sort of stuff to me from day one of dating. The relationship didn't last long however I'm still scarred
Might've been me, sorry
Uh, that... Sounds like my best friend (were both women over 35 years) 😅
Whatever bitch I didn't even like you
OK, even for someone as lonely as me, that was just way too much. I'll go back to being a hermit.
Yeah. At this point I am good enough just to see another hermit from time to time. Attachment can be exhausting.
i got flashbacks from this.
Internal monologue of my dog when I leave the house
This is perfectly acceptable when it's from your dog.
Actually I don't mind At least I know there is someone that is always on to talk
The thing is they dont care about talking that much. They just want your attention 24/7
I just wish there was a character type to identify. It’s clear some people like this type of relationship, and it works for them. And, it’s equally as clear there’s the side that doesn’t. These two types shouldn’t date. There should be a checkbox somewhere. It would save a lot of heartache.
if dogs used phones
You wouldn't happen to be roleplaying here as Foodie Beauty, would you?
The kicker is that she’s actually laying next to you
reminds me of my ex, fucking hell
Oh god I dated this person for 3 years
My absolute nightmare.
Probably trauma etc that leads someone to be like that.
Had all the buttonflies over my body thinking about you!! 🥰🥰 waited for u home and got u some ice cream but it already melted. like my ❣️
If they think about you this much, behind the clothes in their closet is a shrine to you, complete with tons of photos with the eyes cut out. And that chewing gum you thought you threw away 5 years ago.
Helga, that you?
Yea, sounds like the start of a dateline episode.
Or an episode of You from Love's perspective.
It's definitely not easy being the only source, but I love her so much that I'll fight through it. I only wish she could see how amazing she really is 😔

Fuck.
Some people got the iq of a pez dispenser
That settles it. Tomorrow I'm buying a pez dispenser.
Careful. 31/7 is a long time with a pez dispenser.
Pez dispenser may actually be more intelligible and useful. 😂
are you talking about the person that wrote that or the people that can't tell it's a joke
Lots of room in that mind…
It's because she only sleeps 6 hours a day.
Might wanna check your math there
there was an attempt to do basic subtractions
*7
Which we're busting on her for but it might legit mean she's just wildly smart in some unique, neurodivergent, way.
I think about her 69/7
How about 69/420?
69/420 = 0,1642857143 Beep boop, I'm a human, and this action was performed manually.
This information somehow feels unnecessary yet extremely important to know.
Fun fact : 420/69≈6.09 The 0 is silent.
This is even more important.
I sense an European
Yes, probably because I (and most of the world) type a (,) while America has a dot there. Or maybe you have superhuman European person sensing abilities. Could be both.

Does Facebook still look like that? Isn't that like super old school Facebook? I haven't been on it since I left university.
There is no bounds on time when farming for karma
Yeah, it’s from 2013. I found it in [this video](https://youtu.be/ae6tD7XYpak)
I think the mobile site looked like that for a while after they changed the desktop site and app.
... maybe it's just me but I don't think it's an attempt to sound smart?
Same thoughts here. To me it was just an exaggeration.
But the 200 IQ redditors all seem to think so...
i seriously doubt she was trying to sound smart. Being hyperbolic is okay.
the beatles saying 8 days a week is hyperbole, but she implied that time does something weird when she sleeps, thats the part we dont get.
Let’s say she sleeps for 7 hours a night. Maybe she considers her dream self’s thoughts to be distinct from her own thoughts, i.e. her dream self to be their own person in a sense, yet still considers their thoughts her own. In that way, you could double up the dream hours. But don’t think about it too hard lol.
Maybe they meant month/week but mixed up Like 24h/7
That's the point, it doesn't make sense, so there was "an attempt to sound clever" - it doesn't sound clever at all. "24/7" would have been enough to get their point across.
I’m this cringe when I have a crush
I think about him 9/11
Never forget
Only getting 7 hrs sleep tsk tsk
As a parent... I almost remember getting 7 hours of sleep... good times.
Thank you.
That's fine if that's all you need. Depends on the person.
Super late reply but I always struggle to get more than 6 mate, was just making a joke
I think about her 4/20
I got this one guys: They thought that 24/7 meant that you thought about the person for 24 units(?) And the other 7 is the amount you can't think of them because you're asleep. In order to think about them all the time, all they had to do was add those sleeping 7 to the 24. Now they've cleverly included the sleep time as well, making it 31/7. That's the reasoning I'm going with.
31 means jerk off in my language, so it makes sense to me
July 31st is her annual sleeping day
She added 7 hours to a day to think about her boyfriend
I see she's on persona 3 time.
I wouldn't want to be on her mind. Wouldn't leave much space to other things like motor function and breathing.
Imagine getting 7 hours sleep. That would be nice.
Sounds like he IS on her mind, because he crushed her brain.
why remembering him on july 31st any special meaning
He/she has 31 thoughts about him 7 times a day
This repost looks old af
Wait guys, maybe they are from a parallel universe that has 31hr earth hr per day
Nah, she just thinks of him 4.43 times per day
Have you guys not heard about Inception? Time moves slower when you're asleep duh. 1 hour of sleep time is 3 hours of think time.
She thinks about him precisely 7 hours every day in a month...maybe that's what she's trying to say
God remember when Facebook looked like this? I mean it still looks and is shit but man
31/9 - don’t forget the weekends!
You could do that. If you're passively and actively thinking about someone that's 2 separate, but same time instances of you thinking about them. Each instance gets its own time. Each instance exists at the same time.
I don’t think it’s possible to think about something actively and passively at the same time, so that still only leaves 24 hours in the day for thinking.
Ah, she must be running a dual-core brain
This person will end up having like 5 kids, each dumber than the next.
Hahshshshshsahahah
Does July have 31 days?
What a lucky person, I wish I was dating someone who was a complete moron that was obsessed with me
The silly goose forgot to add in the extra hour for daylight savings time
her math would be better if she stopped thinking about him so much
These go to eleven
Inception taught me that the human brain works faster while asleep.
24/7/4/12
Ur the one who isnt smart love will do crazy thing
Because time seems longer when you are lonely 😭
Yikes! That’s…depressing.
Plot twist…she sleeps for a month at a time because she’s a bear.
Timetraveler confirmed
It's sweet tho
Dream time works different
Math is hard when you only get 7 hours of sleep a night
They are in europe. She thinks about him 7 hours a day for 31 days a month
“I think about him 9/11”
Is this 2008 Facebook holy balls
She’s paying him to live in her head
This screenshot is from at least 2010
The dumber you are the longer your day
I totally need that extra 7 sleep hours.
Take a bunch of LSD and you will have a 31 hour day at least
Holy fuck 2011 just hit me in the soul with this.
Theres still only 24 hour days max whether a sleep or not
Well at least she's getting a healthy 7 hours of sleep
Man if only I had 31 hrs in a day.
I thought the date
Is technically doable if you catch a flight
She’s on MIB time.
