What is love? * 1
    #26624541 - 04/24/20 11:37 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

As someone in the spectrum it’s a foreign concept to me. People say it often but I don’t get what they mean by I love you. I think I felt it once when my dog died because I lived here dearly despite the bitch she was. But in terms of humans I have never felt it. I love animals but not really people. I don’t even love my parents, I just had to pretend to because it felt like an obligation. I know my mom and dad love each other but I don’t understand it.

Please nothing abstract or that song either, just keep it light so I can somewhat get it. People tell me that when it happens you’ll know but I don’t know about that,

Hmmm....there are different types of love. You can love an inanimate object as in like is very much. You can love intimately as in with a partner. You can have a general love where you care about the well being of life..... I hope that helps even if just a little

Love is a mutual feeling. Its not in one direction. It had to be mutual Being in Love is having positive, warm, caring, wonderful, pleasant, blissful, exciting, trustworthy feelings toward another person and having similar feelings expressed back to you in equal exchange.

Nothing wrong with animal-human love. Animals can love humans and its mutual. Dogs and cats are great examples but even reptiles and frogs can show love to humans too.

You know you loved something when that something, be it an animal or person or even a plant/tree, is gone and you feel a sad, lonely, depressing pain of losing that thing/person/animal you loved.

Finding a person that loves you is not easy. Its a rare thing in my experience. And because of that, it should be cherished while it lasts.

Love is by degrees in my book, on a  Scale of finite to infinite theoretically

Plato put forth a simplified categorization of it by explaining it as 3 Types of Love: Eros, Agape, and Philos.

Based on your particular question I would describe it like an effect from a drug.

The qualities of a person affects you in the way a drug affects a person. There is definitely a physical component to it.

Being around someone is more enjoyable than being around anyone else. It makes someone’s emotions more labile. When someone is in love with someone they feel the best they can when they are around that person. When they are not around that person they may not feel so good, like part of themself is missing.

It also effects desire. People often want to spend time with other people for enjoyment. When someone is in love, spending time with that person becomes an addiction. Just like with drugs, some people can’t handle it. It fucks up their ability to be rational.

For all we know, being on the spectrum may make you more advanced. You are not subject to being irrational based on feelings (maybe, I have no idea what your brain actually does).

Love definitely turns some people into A holes.

That describes one kind to a degree, but not the whole spectrum of love as known to humans.

I loved Winnie dearly. She was a total bitch but I truly loved here and valued those moments when she actually came to me herself.

I remember getting the call when my sister has to take her to the vet because she wouldn’t eat (and this if from a dog who couldn’t wait for her food to be ready). She had to be put down and I was surprised to find myself crying and being unable to stop. I couldn’t even drive home, my sister had to do it. I was clutching the blanket she used to sleep on that we brought for her. I was utterly crushed, but also happy in a way. I thought I was immune to such feelings but I wasn’t.

Conversely I have been with MANY men but not once have I felt any sort of love for them beyond just a quick sex act. Sort of makes me wonder how gay couples can be a thing but it’s likely just me. But I have never felt for a human like I did with my dog. I mean even the ducking I took in after it lost its family in a hurricane left me hurt. It died when I tried to care for it and I cried as I buried it in the back yard.

Im sorry to hear about your losses. Animal-human love is real. U mentioned u are on the autism spectrum? That will definitely make finding love difficult but not impossible! Just difficult.

In the meantime, pursue your animal friends. Nothing wrong with that sort of love. Its special in its own right and from my experience, people on the spectrum have great relationships with animals.

Someday, you will meet the right guy. But its going to be a challenge for you as you already know.

For me, Love is the Highest High and the Lowest Low. I have mixed feelings about it. But in the end, its pretty great to feel Love towards an animal or person. I believe its one of the purposes of Life, to experience what Love is and to share a bond with a person or animal.

To me true love is pain (but not like “physical” pain). If it didn’t hurt when it’s gone, like gone gone, then it wasn’t love. Oddly enough I don’t consider heartbreak a bad thing, it’s enjoyable in a weird way.

But music always gets to me for some reason. Like this song never fails to make me cry:

I love animals (humans also being mammalian-animals).  My last furry friend  Remington was a beast of a buddy and I love him forever, even after he passed.

I want to raise another canine- doge and have it become part of my family unit  so badly, but the timing is kind of weird.

Maybe I’ll do it anyways!

okay,
so you kind of answered my question without responding to me
and if that is because my question was super insensitive, you have my apologies
and if it is because you are too distracted by your current conversation and I'm just an egotistical bitch, you likewise have my apologies
:lol:

but this is where my specific quote came in, and desire to reference the song

to me,
one the characteristics of feeling love for another person is never wanting to hurt them
unless they ask

emotions flare and cause tempers to flare, and people who are close have the most hurtful insults for each other
but in a real genuine and down to earth way, at the core, you want to not hurt them; to protect them from being hurt

think that is where the pain of loss of animals hits home for so many people
it's often a case of trying so hard to make their life better and being upset with having to recognize reaching a point where we can't

can respect where you are coming from with heartbreak,
but personally feel that level of enjoyment comes from what it teaches me about myself and what role it plays in helping me grow
it does not strengthen my feelings of endearment towards the person as a means of providing enjoyment

To love some one means you have their best interests in mind.
It means you like making them happy and seeing them smile.

Well I felt happy because it meant I had those feelings inside me and I feared I was some kind of robot.

If I were to go by your definition then I love turtles.

But when it comes to humans I have some baseline level of contempt for them as a whole, likely because of how they hurt the planet and each other, sometimes for stupid reasons. As such I never really had love for them. People speak of loving someone like a brother but that is lost on me as I don’t have love for my brother. It just seems weird.

All I ever felt was really just sexual attraction to guys I find hot but not love. Not care that wasn’t out of some sense of obligation. From what I see they can rot once I’m done with them, but I feel for the animals as they are innocent in the destruction of the planet.

Sorry if that came out cold but I wanted to accurately convey my feelings.
