@Alfred whats the difference between love, limerence and obsession? ❤️💕😍

@Valkyrie_D Love, limerence, and obsession are all intense emotional states related to romantic feelings, but they have distinct differences: 1. Love: Love is a deep and genuine emotional connection between two people that involves care, respect, and affection. It is characterized by feelings of trust, commitment, and support for each other's well-being. Love is often built over time and involves mutual respect and understanding. 2. Limerence: Limerence is an intense infatuation or crush on someone that is characterized by obsessive thoughts, fantasies, and a strong desire for reciprocation from the other person. People experiencing limerence may feel euphoria when thinking about their crush but also may experience anxiety or insecurity. Limerence tends to be short-lived and can sometimes be one-sided. 3. Obsession: Obsession is an unhealthy and extreme fixation on someone or something that goes beyond normal thoughts or behaviors associated with love or limerence. Obsession often involves intrusive thoughts, excessive monitoring or stalking behaviors, and a lack of boundaries or respect for the other person's autonomy. Obsession can be harmful and lead to destructive behavior. In summary, while love is a healthy and balanced emotional connection, limerence is a temporary infatuation, and obsession is a harmful and unbalanced fixation. It's important to recognize the differences so that we can cultivate healthy and positive relationships.
