Wants and desires

Ah, I thought this thread was only targeted at the sociopaths among us. I certainly have wants and desires. I often find a person that I feel an odd attraction to, then I get closer to them. I start talking to them more often, and start developing feelings for them. And all of a sudden, I'm hooked. I want to be around them all of the time. I don't want them to talk to anyone but me. I get terrified that they're going to hate me or leave me, and do everything in my power to keep them loving me. And I think about almost nothing else but them.

When they finally break up with me, it takes me a few months to calm down and stop going crazy about them. By then, I start feeling like I can live without them again. But, if I talk to them, my feelings come back, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. But they always do.

There is currently a person I yearn for, but I can keep my feelings under control for now, and I do still feel attraction to others at this time.

What would you do for a Krispy Kreme Triple Cheeseburger?



With anything on it?

"They can be, but interest and yearning are two different things."

...huh, I don't think they are for me. I never really thought about it like that.

what is a difference between a dream and a fantasy ?

a dream is some thing u might some day aspire to be like the president of the united states if u were born there

a fantasy is some thing ud like to be even when u know u cant be that in real life like the super man or the president of the united states if u was born some place else

I figured the difference between dream and fantasy was mostly in if the person was awake or not. Either that or dreaming is a form of fantasizing; a dream being fantasy instead of fantasy being a dream.

If not the above, a "dream" is usually a long term goal, while fantasy is more of a genre of thought.

What was your point though, that what splits those two is that TK sees dream to mean fantasy, while Systematic sees dream to mean goal?

I've had enough people come back and seriously fuck me up because they have crazy unknown boundaries.

 This made me curious. Can you give some examples from your experience?

 I agree with this.

Oh, you're not just talking about sexual wants.

Yes, I have a whole list of professional and personal goals that I'm working through, a little bit at a time.

It seems the difference here then is that dreams to you aren't aspirations. A dream to him is something worth going for, for you it'd just be something nice to have.
