I need a good definition of love. Got one?

I just know what it isn’t. It isn’t sex.

I would say ‘giving’

Giving everything you have and are… your attention your time your valuables to bestow them on others

I don’t know if you can really define love, or any emotion, with a lot of accuracy, they are more something to be felt, and when you feel them you know it.

Sometimes thoughts and feelings are together.

In CBT your thoughts can lead to feelings.

For example you can think about something worrisome and feel anxiety.

Devotion, connection, positive caring. Platonic love is totally valid. So is just a love for life, nature, dogs, cats, sports, etc… could be anything really!

This idea that love must be between two people ignores a lot of the “love”.

When you make sure your other half is happy no matter what your situation is. Come death, come winter, come kameeldooring thorns come it all and no matter what happens, no matter how shiit you feel, you make her feel like the queen she is cause shes that fuucking amazing :slight_smile:

Real love is wanting the best for another person and not letting jealousy or other self interests interfere.

sex is a way for a man and a woman to show each other how much they love each other (an intimate act) but it is much more than that,

I feel a bit insecure bc i may not fulfil a woman’s expectations in the bedroom.

if you want me to describe love i would have to say that it is a lot of different things but almost always something good Therefore Love= Good to me

I think sex is physical, like eating. When you eat, do you think “I love this food”? No. You just eat.

My mom says she loves her food :bento:.

I agree sex can be physical only. Although maybe it’s a testament to our reproduction instincts and familial roots which attracts us to thinking sex can be a part of love. I mean that between two partners or friends.

Eating is necessary for survival. Sex isn’t though. Idk about the comparison exactly.

well maybe to you, I dont enjoy eating so i mostly just put up with it, i would feel a lot better if i loved what i ate,

Love is the mimicry of physical law at a level where physical interactions are free. Basically the human brain causes people to form bonds in the formation of larger structures that are bound together by love and liking. Basically a way of forming bonds where material interactions don’t follow laws.

Love is loving oneself in a capacity to love another.

Love takes time to develop
Caring about someone deeply is part of it.
