See that is another aspect of it you don't understand. Part of love is being able to be exactly who you are and being open with the person. Not having to hide anything because you are a unit, a team. A romantic partner is an extension of yourself, not an accessory to your life.

Would you still love Alice if you found out that she wrote nasty things about you on another forum, made unflattering comments about selfies there, and said that it's who she is? How about if that happy feeling in your chest goes away?

Your love is conditional.

I believe you're genuinely trying to convey your feelings, and I thank you for that, but I don't see any emotional connection in what you're describing.

Let me try to elucidate on what I mean by genuine connection. When you look at someone or talk with someone, and you feel like you can immediately understand the person's life story and struggles, and relate to them on a meaningful level. Like both of you have shared your life since birth, although you lived different lives. That's my understanding of what a genuine, real emotional connection is.

I'd say I have with some of the people here, yes. 

My theory is that I've connected with some people when I was younger at such a deep level that everything seems shallow now.

You will never be able to experience the drug called Life as loudly as you could as a child. Within youth is also a reduced tolerance to the drug that has continued exposure dull those areas until resembling something rigid yet more reasonable. Inducing psychosis can be pretty close to the glow of childhood, but it's still not quite the same. 

This otherwise sounds like the burden of wisdom. 

Peach, how do you know it's 'Love' in particular, and not any of the myriad of other things that resemble it? 

Love is when you meet someone that makes your heart cum.

Have you ever felt a genuine connection with anyone here, even for a brief moment?

Explain.

 If you are Possum. Your connections are in your attention.

If you are anyone else ?

I fell in love with her bc i know she isnt the type to do this

made unflattering comments about selfies there, and said that it's who she is?

She shares stuff with me that she posts, like lets me see her screen before she posts it sometimes

 That's part of the trust we have. I know shebdoesnt do that, but if she was i would have taken her hiding her online activities as a huge red flag. Your wife isnt me tho, if you have to hide a part of yourself from your spouse so they dont leave you then you are married to the wrong person

How about if that happy feeling in your chest goes away?

Your love is conditional.

Well yeah. If she snapped and murdered my entire fam i would honestly be less attached.

I believe you're genuinely trying to convey your feelings, and I thank you for that, but I don't see any emotional connection in what you're describing.

 I think this means you can't understand the emotion then. It doesn't mean the emotion doesnt exists, it just means there is something wrong with you.

 You just know man. Even when I'm mad at her, her safety and happiness is still my first priority. 

This thread quickly turned into "what is love?" Instead of the OP question 

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more
