An emotional deficit does not have to be a handicap, if you accept your limitations, and disregard the standard social expectations associated with it, by adjusting your definition of "love" to encompass what you can experience, as opposed to what you can't. When "love" becomes a practical choice and a guiding philosophy, as opposed to a sustained emotional state, it changes everything.

I hadn't thought about it like this. Maybe I've been looking for something that I can't experience.

" I'm guessing about all of this. I've never been in love. :'(" i have and love is slightly effortless but a lot of the maintenance is empathy so you could love the person so much you would sacrifice your self to save them from a stabbing thief but if you can't do what they say from empathy then it will have problems

It is particularly unreasonable to expect someone with shallow affect to sustain a profound emotion unwaveringly over time. Feelings wax and wane. I think many people accord them too much significance in terms of the life choices they make.

Society paints an unrealistic image of "love" on so many levels. 

it's not unrealistic it's to maintain the appearance of an organized world  otherwise we end up like this
