I just want to know if major major is possum
Because that's important.
Peach, how do you know it's 'Love' in particular, and not any of the myriad of other things that resemble it?
You just know man. Even when I'm mad at her, her safety and happiness is still my first priority.
I've seen "You just know" in the honeymoon stages of infatuation, within the grips of lust, within the misunderstandings of youth, when challenged with feelings of loss, when within the throes of substances, etc. This "Love" phenomenon is a filler word that's given room for poets and artists alike to take it on faith and throw lots of flowery words at it. A lot of it can be reasonably summed up with "Obsession", "Familiarity Attachment", and "Mood Swing Driven Vulnerability".
"The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons. You're born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget." - Don Draper, Mad Men
My feelings would tell me that I have felt 'Love', but did they really? That doesn't seem like the Occam's Razor answer, it seems like an artful Faith angle. I'd rather not take it upon a gut feeling purely when I've seen others seem equally lost to it's rhetoric despite displaying a more on-point explanation.
If "Love is what you make of it", then it's made up hogwash with no objective basis beyond it's room to coast as a word.

Says the alone.
Last post I will ever make on this toilet.
True love never dies.
Adios kid...

I say this even when within the throes of love myself, this is actually one of my more tired arguments that's persisted.
The better it feels, the more room I have to doubt it's 'truth'.

I've already told you that I'm possum, connection.
TC said:I'd say I have with some of the people here, yes.
Who and in what situations?
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.
It's a very annoying feeling when you have a thirst for something but can't find a way to quench it. It's like that best burger in New York that you tasted so long ago, but now you can't find that fucking place anymore. Same with that special porn clip that you watched, forgot the title. Keeps me up at night... The only thing I see is blondes, none of whom have that special magical something that once sparked joy in my meow meow.
PalePeach said: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.
I don't consider my wife an accessory in my life, but I still have some self-respect, privacy, and boundaries. I would imagine you hide some things from your family, despite "loving" them. How is that any different?
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
I find this pretty offensive. You know nothing about my relationship with my wife, and despite your magical chest feelings with Alice, which I don't experience, you have no right to judge my relationship. My wife would likely not leave me if she found out about my online activities, although she would not be happy.
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'm very jealous of you and the fact that you can experience such intense feelings, although I am still convinced you're simply quoting poems and stuff you hear from love stories and use them to interpret your experience.
I'm not a sociopath, at least I don't think so. Despite being unable to connect with people, I have an extreme desire to do so, and I go to great lengths to make people comfortable and at ease around me. But I have no experience of a "connection." I think it's a myth. I've flown across continents to surprise my wife for her birthday, I've fought for my family, and I've helped friends out of depression. I've experienced unadulterated self-satisfaction when having sex high on ecstacy, but nothing close to a conneciton.
That happy chest feeling which you call love, if anything, is a chemical reaction. According to science, it will go away in 3-4 years, after which it will be replaced with a feeling of familiarity... And a wish to go back to how things were. Or... If you're under the impression that this "love" lasts forever, probably it will be replaced by a love for another partner, because "she wasn't the right one" or some other romantic fairy-tale BS that western media keeps feeding us down the throat.
I can have a relationship without those chemicals messing with my decision making. My relationship transcends love.
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.
I've heard similar stories by people with personal relationships with God. They keep telling me that I just have to "experience it." If I don't, I'm just not trying hard enough. Apparently.

Precisely. If you can interpret everything you do in a relationship as love, it has no objective basis.
