Discussion Love the most dangerous emotion

[Mort]

Well sad to say i have found out that falling in love is the most dangerous thing I've ever done. It weakens you makes you vulnerable you open up to them you tell them you're most private things. Things you would never tell anyone even your family. You let them see your real self that no one has ever seen before as you trust them so much you feel so happy you can do that. Then you find out they dont love you they just bin pretending and most likely taking the piss out of you behind your back. So as of now i am never ever going to fall in love ever again sod it makes you weak time to put that wall back up and let no one in ever. They to many people out they that would love to hurt you just for the hell of it so sod them back to the life of a loner best way to be. Think all emotions should be stopped would solve a lot of things may be that ehat i should do. I think i know away of doing it but going to have to read up on it first. Its all about self hypnotizing your self its just working out the details hope can be done life without emotions sounds a good idea things be a lot better. Well say tata for now

Amen. Love is a mother fucker. I tried telling myself, well most everyone has more failed relationships than successful but it doesn't make it any better. Especially when you know you'll never love as deeply ever again. Let I get it, most people move on and find another but I just can't. You know those people who are together 20+ years or whatever, well what if you found that person but it didn't work? Why isn't it as meaningful as the successful one just because it didn't work? I can't replace the 7 years with anyone else. I know for me, I won't find someone as artistic, funny, smart, kind, loving, beautifully broken as her. I say beautifully broken because at the time I had to idea of mental health/mental struggles as I've never really thought about life or anything. Just living life like an unrelated book of chapters. Anyway, yeah emotions (mainly love) can be a real pain.

I made a thread about this the other night! It wasn't popular, but I was candid. I'm PRETTY sure I've got a legitimate fear of developing feelings for someone.
This feeling has evolved quickly from a slight aversion to intimacy beyond casual sex, to absolutely NOT, no way, JUST sex and leave. If I think I'm developing any kind of "I wonder if his personality is a great as his sex.." thoughts, I cut that shit off ASAP. I probably won't even talk to them ever again.

Love is stupid. I hate the idea. It makes you.. lose yourself. A friend of mine on SS replied to my thread with a quote from a show they watch, explaining exactly what you did here. It makes you vulnerable and obsessive and .. numb. Dangerously curious for what comes next. All that ever comes is heartshatter and bullshit.

Personal opinions, of course. I almost envy those that have found something they believe in between them and another.

Well I don't know, I'd say it depends on the type of love. When you're younger you tend to experience that kind of all-encompassing infatuation-based love more frequently. It tends to be raw, passionate, and often based on things like lust. It can be pretty intoxicating and difficult to handle, but looking back I'm not sure I'd really call it love in the strictest sense. I often found those relationships to be unpleasant and emotional rollercoasters. Getting older and going around the block a few times makes you more cynical. I have found romantic partners to be a bit like Trump's speeches - the more you experience them, the less seriously you take them. I'm not sure anyone could really stomp on my heart anymore these days, which I suppose is positive. But the flipside is that I feel less in general. I guess that's de-sensitization for you.

Love is temporary insanity... Yeah, I'll pass on that considering the last time, I was in love, I was living in my own fantasy world and got burned because of that...

I think way too much importance is placed on " romantic" relationships, ect... It is all overrated.
