Thread: Have you been in love with love?

And with that I mean, caring more about being in a relationship than about the person. To the point of being an unhealthy obsession.

I personally haven't been in any relationships. But after a long night of introspection, I have found out that this is the case for me.
I haven't looked at having a relationship because I care for the other person. It has been more like trying to fill a hole in my chest caused by low self steem.
And I concluded that that was the reason about my sadness and depression when it came to relationships.

Now that I think about it, it isn't healthy. Not at all. That does nothing good for me and for the people around me.

Well, as they say: Admitting the problem is the first step. And now, I have to correct it.

I know it's not a very comfortable topic. But I had the need to talk about it with someone.

I think this is an issue with a lot of people. People will get into a relationship, and there's all that feeling of love and romance, then once that diminishes (cause you can't feel that way forever), they think they aren't in love anymore. Everyone wants to be loved. I guess you just need to pick and choose where that love comes from. I'm personally happy with the love my friends give, and why I don't think of partners as anything but best friends, just without the whole platonic bond.

Yes. Now that I think about it I was being very especiffic and maybe a little bit obsessive.

Maybe I need some more time to think about this.

Story of my life, kind of.

I think I'm yet to find someone I really care to.

I used to be, now I've given up on the idea.

Unfortunately, that's the case for me. I've had more than my fair share of crushes, none of which went anywhere at all, so...

Weird question but its an excellent question at the same time. It truly requires a lot of introspection. Ok wiki tell me that......Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. In that case, I guess love is a good feeling even if its one sided. At least you can feel good,for the moment, about it without hurting anybody. But if you to actually act on it things could get much more complicated. Alone love is harmless.
