Spend months studying

I doubt this is the right place to study love or affection
Although 4ch does seem to attract lots of mentally unstable people
Cope

I don't really feel safe interacting with anyone else and I think people here understand love quite well, since they're so starved for it.

>since they're so starved for it.
Hmmm, really?
I would think only someone in love would understand it
Just like a poorfag who can't understand what's so different between him and a richfag

Calls other on coping because they call it shit out, post the same thread everyday more than twice.
Better start Maining Pyke and stop being such a faggot maybe then when you rank Diamond+ people will like you despite being a mess of a human being

There's truth in what you say, but this is my only avenue so I might as well make the best of it. On the other hand, poor people will appreciate the value of every penny better.

Love isn't something you can study. It's something you experience. And only once you experience it you can understand it

I can't experience it. It's an obsession of mine.

If you think that a bunch of psycho's who just want to see people suffer on Jow Forums could teach you anything you're dead wrong.

That's like asking someone whose starving what they think a ball of food will taste like. It's got no distinctive features. They've never had that ball so they could never tell you it's texture, smell or taste, let alone how filling it is or hard to chew or anything. Love isn't something you just get. People love all the time. Just cause you and I haven't felt it doesn't mean it isn't real

>It's Becuase you're a low IQ tranny lol!
No thats me

Love is just a chemical. Its the result of our inclination to trust and bond with others for our own protection. Our own feelings about others exist because social interaction benefits our future: just as retracting from a burn helps us stay well, just as flinching when we are in pain helps us get out of danger, we love because somewhere in our minds the person we witness produces a set of characteristics our mind considers, for sometimes simple biological reasons and other times complex pragmatic reasons, this person a good person to stick with.

Our minds try to stay "current" by bonding with people like our parents - they are ideal people to show what's advantageous in the current social era. Are they more aggressive to suit a fierce social time? Are they gentle because we are in times of luxury? Our partners reflect our parents because our brains ascertain the current era through our parents. The way we choose our partners' looks has a lot to do with our chemistry, but it also has to do with the era. Big asses are in now, in the past big tits were, of course there are tons of anomalies but there is a social "climate" of desirability we are generally influenced by.

Love is a culmination of factors, just like personality is a culmination of memories and influential people. Pretending its anything else is just silly, but its simple chemical root doesn't mean it is not genuine or useful.

There is no ultimate "truth" to love. Imagine if, the way when we get hurt we run from the source of our pain, we simply attached to it instead. Pure reflex: our brain rationalises it, just like our brain rationalises our moods using our surroundings (I'm down because I want to do this, I'm happy because I saw this, etc). You'd be surprised how whimsical these mechanisms are.

There's nothing wrong with being stupid. Your song enough to make the change even though you're aware of the repercussions. Soon enough you'll be filling dudes into falling for you look all the Stacie's so don't worry about it

Someone who's starving will have had food sometime before anyways. Even if just a bit, they'll appreciate it so much more. Like you said, people love all the time. People here savor those small pieces of love they get and that's why they appreciate it more. But why am I writing this? It's not like true love is a real thing anyway. Just idealism of biological reactions. This user came just in time to explain it better than I ever could: That's still not true love for me, but maybe just because I'm constantly drowning in my own delusions and fantasies.
I've already told you not to take online tests seriously. You're clearly very intelligent judging from the conversations we've had.

>true love
I think true love exists. It's pure reflex, ignorant of its roots and its transience. People don't realise their own subservience to instinct, history and personality. It's reflex, pure and simple. It might as well be magical, because whoever is under its spell can never realise its core roots. It really transforms the object of affection into something conceptual and inhuman - not criticisable, but something new and untouchable, like a totally other creature that isn't even in the same league of people - like a spell, really. It's a fantasy worth believing.

You can either live life believing everything is a miracle or nothing is. If you're gonna boil it down to the atomic level and regards it as "just a chemical reaction" then it's your mindset you need to change.

Humans are malleable to whatever their environment or they themselves demand of them. Your first steps to founding love will have to be to look at a the bigger picture, and the best way to do that is taking a step back.

Make new friends. Get closer to the current or old ones. Remember what it's like to really like someone before you love them. The universe is pointless. Just a bunch of atoms floating around meaninglessly. You either make the most of it or you don't

I can only fail doing this. I've failed before and I can only fail again. The problem is that I need to stay sharp in order to see through all the manipulation being done to me. If I were to believe in a magical love, my judgement of the world around me would become clouded. Without knowing what love truly is, I'd fall prey to those who use it to control me. Weighing my options, I'd rather be miserable than lose the purity of my mind. It's a frustrating answer and a spit in the face of all those who've tried to help me, but I can't do it any other way.

I'm in the same boat but not by choice unfortunately. I've grown up in environments that sharpened my survival instincts to a self destructive point and now all that's left is a stupid husk of a person who is told they are loved and confessed to fairly often but has no way of feeling it. If it's any comfort i want you to know that I truly understand your pain

Well I wouldn't call being born a choice, but I get you. Being a victim of manipulation has severe long-term consequences. It's psychological warfare.

I meant the choice of refusing to she'd your awareness for happiness, but that's a valid argument. If you wouldn't mind, can I ask the details of how you were manipulated?

lol you're pretty funny
