I Don't Believe In Love

I think this is trouble with blanket statements - love exists in a variety of forms, we can even see it in brain chemistry. But the idea of love as an abstract comment is one that is hard to pin down.

Disney movies portray it as some be-all and end-all force that every human being must obtain in order to be complete. How else are you going to sell all the goods?

I don't think love is great mystery power that lies in the soul and forever binds us in happiness - instead it far more subtle and can take on many different forms. We may have love for those that we have invested our time in - friends who share in our troubles or that which we nurture. Love does not absolutely exist in the romantic sense.

Whatever form it takes, to fully appreciate what love is you may want to think on why that which exists in your self wpuld want from others, and thereby how it connects to you. A great deal of love may be in our own wants and desires, before we are able to recognise it in others

I am sorry if this response does not meet your views as they are now. But it may also be worth thinking about

Got a pet? Bet they love the heck outta you. If you don't, I recommend getting one. 👍

My family grew and shared it's love with us, their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. I'm sorry you have not yet experienced it. In being in pain 24/7, I rely on their love every day, and God bless them for it. I lost four family members in three months, and my family was there, all loving each other. My guess? You've had terrible examples, though you deserved more than that! I'm sorry you didn't receive more, Poeticdiva. Truly. 🖤

I never believed in it either because my parents didn't love me but now I'm starting to realize that it actually does and that I was conditioned by abuse.
Love might not be what you expected it to be but it still exists.

The Greek language has six distinct words for love: philía, éros, agápe, storgē, pragma, and philautia.

Perhaps, if the English language was more descriptive, we wouldn't feel so betrayed?

This post is so heartbreaking and well written, even I don’t feel like believing in love anymore lol

The word love is used so carelessly and so frequently that it means nothing to me. Come tell me someone has kept that word for decades for the right time with right person so that no one heard of it from them but you?. I may believe that someone got lucky.

I've been binge watching true crime documentaries over the past week. People go missing all the time and people are murdered every day. The raw grief from the friends and family of those victims tells me everything I need to know about true love. It's real.

I know.
I know it's easy for me to say.
But Love, is the Reason for Life.
It is the Main purpose for our entire Being.
What people go through with their quest for love, it's all about finding that love of your life.
It will happen, I promise you.
Everyone has a soulmate.
It's Destiny.
(Please forgive the thoughts of a hopeless romantic. It's my kryptonite.)😔💕🤗)

Love is a verb, not a noun. It means commitment, loyalty, effort, kindness, respect, and trust.

I’ve actualky starting to come to terms with this. The saddest part is I’m already starting to accep it.

You're smart. What people call love is selfish self centered. What we are getting out of it and as long as our wants are being met, we good. When they ain't, we toss it aside like a rotten potato.

Telling somebody you love them is like telling them your dream from last night.....
You can explain all you want.... They'll never understand..

I believe in it cause I'm full of it..

lol
