What is love?

Do you really feel it ? Do you really know what it means ? Or is it a word you trot out because other people use it,so as not to look odd.

Emotions are a funny thing before the Consta I felt negative emotions intensely and positive ones were muted . Now the negative emotions are less intense but the positive ones are still quite muted.

I have problems separating love from codependency and lack of loneliness.

I know when I genuinely love someone, but I always think most people so say they love me don’t really

I think mutual is an important word in a loving relationship. Mutual respect, mutual understanding, etc.

I felt strong sensations of love for a woman after taking Piracetam. It was strong enough that when she left my house I felt like I had been suffocated since I left a not so good impression with her.

Never felt such a strong pull towards someone before, or since.

If there’s one thing that defines love it’s putting your partner’s wants and needs before your own (and your partner puts your wants and needs before their own).

Whether it’s the mother elephant chasing the lioness away from its baby, or how a bad guy would have to kill me first before harming my girlfriend.

You don’t choose to be in love; it happens by itself over time.

Love is both saying, “I love you” and self sacrifice.

I think love is way more than a chemical reaction, at least real love, it’s rather a deep emotional connection, if it’s true love though. It’s unconditional and a unbreakable bond between (two) people.

I don’t believe much anymore, however, I remain open for (true) love. It’s a golden ticket to go through life as two individuals whom “melted” together as one.

I’m in de middle according to the test… But reading up about it, it (Alexithymia) is very complex and confusing. I don’t have problems recognizing when I love, I rather am troublesome on what (here comes the schizophrenic part of me) to tell and describe what’s real and what not.

Ah, I have problems identifying and understanding my emotions. I’ve never seemed to feel love in the traditional sense, so I’ve made my own idea of love, which is a conscious choice where I take it upon myself to care for and give affection to the other person above and beyond what I typically do for others.
