Is love a real emotion? or is it mostly something we make up.

i think most love between two people or an intimate relationship is for the most part bullshit. and yes i've experienced them but i personally don't think its that real at all. respond if u agree. or disagree.

 

Love is an addiction.

 

What is the difference between a "real emotion" and something that we make up?

If love is not real, how should that change how people act? (Thats an attempt to gently ask "If it isn't real, so what?")

All cultures have tales of romantic love, so that suggests that the experience is not culturaly dependant and is a human condition that we all recognize.

 

Ahh yes Love, now there is something that I can really disect.
Hard thing to explain to someone who has never beeen in love but love is mostly about forgiving. Love is about missing someone when they are not with you. Love is about being able to see your lovers point of view. Love is about being able to communicate honestly and without fear. Love is being able to grow together, spiritually , emotionally and lots of other things.
Now lust sometimes disguises itself as love but it is not the same.
Anyway wait till you have kids and then you will relise that love is a real emotion, however the down side with true love is true fear. The fear of losing the ones you love.

 

If you just make up an emotion, it's still an emotion.
If you feel it, it's an emotion.

 

Love is the lie people tell one another to justify the real reasons they're together.


I've had my heart stomped on by a girl who then told me a month later that she "still loved me".

Pure bullshit. It's just a word people throw around...invented by some lonely, scruffy poet probably.

 

Love is compleatly real. True love is extreamly rare but it's out there. You can't search for it. It comes naturally upon you and is a true blessing if you happen to be lucky enough to encounter it.

Love is something that many believe they've made it up thanks to the current societal standards and morals when, in fact, IS a genuine emotion. In other words, it is real.
