What is TRUE LOVE? how does it differ from EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCE or ADDICTION to another?
dock ter do little asked:
Emotional dependence is unhealthy because it is tantamount to an addicition to a person. But TRUE LOVE what IS true love. A love a mother has for a CHILD is unconditional but THAT is not what I mean I am talking about ROMANTIC love between TWO PEOPLE who find each other as SOUL MATES.

There’s no real answer. It’s something all psychologists want to know – but there’s never a solution. It’s really whatever you perceive it to be or whatever you make it

it doesn’t they are still human beings – and if you don’t believe me you will some day perhaps..
There is such thing as true love but you may not find it between two people if you do it may be only in rare moments (not perfect like the rest of your entire life moment)
True love is being able to bite the bullet no matter if that means you alone by yourself without the person to hold onto (maturity) or having faith that things work out and dive into a relationship (even if things go wrong though you can’t use that person as an excuse to kill yourself that would be kind of pathetic) Some people are people’s entire lives but that is pretty sad in my opinion cuz I know how it feels – it doesn’t have to be it’s like a cartoon a person draws out and creates you didn’t have to make it a horrible one could have been a happy one..your mind can do many things – it can destroy you or help you.

Love is a biological evolutionary development used by our species to ensure propagation of the species and the pair bonding required to make sure the child is cared for long enough to be reasonably self reliant.
“True Love” is nothing but a social convention developed to sell greeting cards and boost female viewership of mass-media.
We know the biological steps which take place in the brain when “Love” happens.
We know that the SMELL of a person is the determining factor in ‘healthy’ love since humans are most sexually attractive to a mate that smells most different from themselves to try and ensure that inbreeding doesn’t take place.
We know that it is a 3 to 5 year ‘itch’ and not a 7 year ‘itch’ because that is how long it takes for the human child to grow to enough maturity to not be a CONSTANT drain on the female and she can start to fend for herself again after the male moves on to the next female in ‘heat’.
“Love” is just a complicated way for nature to ensure that we keep humpping like bunnies so that we pop out as many offspring as possible.
If your LUCKY then your relationship can move past the ‘breeding stage’ to the ‘bonding stage’ but as we well know… something like 60% of all OFFICIAL MARRAGES don’t make that transition… and that doesn’t even count the “Dating Relationships” that never mature.
Humans are nothing but animals in pants… We may have developed a COMPLICATED mating ritual… But it is still just that… A Biologically Controlled Mating Ritual.
The sooner we shed this socially contrived notion of monogamy and shame the sooner we can start to like healthier and more fulfilling lives.

i believe that it is a feeling of complete unselfish love for someone, a feeling that you want to spend the rest of your life with this person in it, with no jealousy or malicious reasons. true love is hard to come across and i think that a lot of people never experience it. but it is a very beautiful thing when you see 2 people and you just know that they are in love. it s wanting someone to be happy, and to want to make them happy, it is when you stop thinking about yourself first and the other person is the person you think about when making decisions.
