Can you feel love

I have noticed that I can not feel any love or anything else either. It may just be a symptom of my psz. Often people confuse sex with love. I do not know is just a good thing that I do not feel emotions so that I do not fall in the cycle of emotional ups and downs. Can you feel love?

I believe myself to have ezperienced a similar situation as yours. That is as deep as I am willing to go for now.

I think I still have feelings but they are very muted.

I gone through periods where I didn’t feel love. I could feel anger and sorrow and euphoria. But then I ended up feeling nothing. As I’ve been healing, I’ve been sort of confused. I can feel ā€œlikeā€. I like certain people. The people I loved before my onset I have concern for them still. I’ve been taking that little grain of concern and like and relearning love.

I don’t know if that makes sense. I’m learning, but I think I can feel it.

i too cannot describe love,my parents love me,my brothers care about me,my family care about me but for romantic love i dont know 1 bit about it,i can feel the kindness of some woman and like every guy we had an eye for pretty ladies/woman

Yeah. Don’t confuse hormonal excitement with love. Mother Nature is trying to fool you to make sure sex happens.

Actually, I used to feel a lot of love. To an extent, I still know love is there, but I don’t feel it as often as I used to feel it.

Haven’t ā€œfelt loveā€ in a decade at least…

Fell deeply in love twice before the age of 20, the kind of love that remains with you for a lifetime. I mean my first love still wears my alien workshop t-shirt to bed at night and she’s married with two kids…she put me through two years of hell and cost me my high school years but hey she did apologize…once.

But no not in ten years at least…too numb, jaded and crazy for that love thing to happen I guess. I am however looking forward to perhaps making that sacred connection again sometime in my future but who knows…most people never experience that kind of love in their lifetime and if they do they usually ruin it by getting married and starting a family…sorry.

Wow, I have never not felt love as in being able to feel it for someone or something. there are a few times i felt ā€œno one loves meā€ but that’s different, usually after a breakup or something of that nature.
Sex is not love. people can have sex without any love at all…Sex can be an expression of love but in reality its only a small percentage of the time you spend with someone in any meaningful relationship. Like 90% or more of your time will be doing other things and showing love in other ways and thats where real love is manifest.

Actually yes I can feel it still, I love my niece and can feel her love for me. Love is love, regardless of whether it’s a sexual relationship or not…but as far as love in a ā€œromanticā€ context goes that’s so far a thing of my youth. Hit me twice, hard, and ten years, five more relationships and a few one nighters later I long for that love of my youth but it hasn’t happened it all. While sex is not love, neither does a relationship guarantee love. There are a few I do miss now and then but love them I do not.

I feel love in myself. In my children. In Carl. I feel love for close friends and family.
I have love.

Hahaha! Is all true though. When someone has loved you and shown you and guided you to love, and you are able to reciprocate that love unto others…it’s magical!

Life is full of misfortune. Trials and triumphs. Constantly learning. Of all things, love is the most precious gift in this life… to me anyway.

Perfect…absolutely true…

This is something I have known and said for many years… like since the early 90s actually…

ā€œLove is not just a feeling, it is a way of life.
Love is an action, not a word randomly tossed about.
Love is a seed…it is already there, dormant. It just needs planted and it can sprout in a few days - from there it grows and blossoms.ā€

Of course there are feelings that go along with love, sometimes quite intense, but love is more than a feeling

No, I don’t feel anything. A long time ago a friend taught me the value of being able to love, but I’ve never felt it. I feel sort of twisted like a vine that’s grown without enough water.

I think for me to feel real love for anyone they have to be perfect to me. Anytime the mess up I easily enternalize it and think of reasons why I dont or shouldnt or don’t love them like I think i should or do.

It is not love, but feel respect toward other people, even toward my poor alcoholic gypsy friend with whom no ā€˜white’ person wants to associate, but he knows most gypsies in my little town and nearby.In my society gypsies are called ā€˜black people’.
