What's the difference between attachment and real love?

Whats the difference between infactuation and love??

  • Sumtimes I feel I am in love ...But realy dont know wheter its love or physical attraction??

  • Answer:

    Infatuation is more like physical attraction. It's how you react to someone--chemistry. You don't even have to know them to be infatuated. Love is when you know someone and know all their faults, and still love them. YOu want the best for them. YOu want them to be happy and that doesn't necessarily have to include you (though of course you would rather it). You love someone when you enjoy seeing them succeed. You are not jealous of them. You are happy when they are happy, sad when they are sad. The Bible has one of the best definitions of love. From 1st Corinthians 13. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

While there's no clear, fool-proof way to decipher your feelings for someone, there are certain ways to make the distinction between love, lust and infatuation clearer for yourself Write down everything that you associate with the person you're feeling strongly about. Example words on your brainstorm list could include love, butterflies, sex, holding hands, annoying snoring, gorgeous, etc Circle each attribute with a different color such as red for lust, yellow for infatuation, and green for love. See which of the three feelings dominates the page. If one doesn't stand out (like if the distribution seems pretty equal), move on to the following steps for more insight. Ask your friends or, if you find it easier, ask a complete and utter stranger, so that you get an honest opinion and an outsider's point of view. Tell that person how you feel, and ask them if it sounds primarily like love, infatuation, or lust. Watch a movie that relates to your situation like "Cruel Intentions" (which is about lust, and wanting what you can't have), "Down to You" (which is about love and leaving it all down to the other person), "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" (which is about none of them really but it's about making a mistake and putting it right), "The Phantom of the Opera" (which is about both lust and infatuation) and, finally, "Titanic" (which is about holding on to someone forever until you die - that is love - bittersweet love). Keep in mind that in most relationships, you're feeling all three (love, infatuation, and lust) all at once, to some degree. Sometimes the person that you love isn't always the person that you want. To help you make tough decisions about your relationship, ask someone you trust who has lots of experience with the kind of relationship you want for yourself. For example: Say you want to be happily married to one person for life. If your parents have both been bitterly divorced three times, then they are probably not the ones to talk to. On the other hand, if they are about to celebrate their 50th anniversary of bliss together, then they may be ideal to learn from. Lasting relationships are the those that are built on love -not infatuation or lust. Imagine the person you love in 50 years when they are old and fat. Would that change how you feel about them? If yes, then what you feel now is most likely lust/infatuation - not love. Friendship should also weigh into your decision to commit. In 50 years, if you don't genuinely LIKE your mate, you're going to be miserable. Warnings If you're not sure about your feelings or your relationship, take things slowly. Spend time apart and see how you are feeling while you are away. Do you miss the person? Or are you more attracted to others when you are apart? Read literature and scriptures on the topic. Questions about love are timeless questions that have consumed mankind throughout the ages and are a major theme in many scriptures, tales from mythology, and literature. Read the story of David and Bathsheba from Jewish scriptures, 1st Corinthians from Christian scriptures, the story of Ali and Fatima, Narcissus and Echo, or Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Its herd to differentiate, but usually its only sum 1 outside the situation that can tell. Anyhoo, I believe Infatuation is when you are constantly thinking about sum1 and it becomes a kind of foolish unreasoning, where you don't control your own mind and would do anything for that person even if they may not feel the same. Love is a deep meaningful attachment that you have with someone where they feel the same, but you still have your own mind. (Not sure, but this is the best I could explain it).

infatuation can be u only like him.. but love, its a deeper feeling..

Simple, but terribly difficult to spot. When infatuated we feel a sensation similar to an addict needing a fix, because that is exactly what is happening inside of us. The sensation we feel when we think of the person is a rush of hormones in our bloodstream allowing us to feel like we are really with that person, and this makes us want to be with them more! It's a sensation caused by the mind and those hormones are highly addictive. (A bit like thinking of chocolate cake... mmmmmm) We want to recreate a moment in the past. The problem is each time we get that fix of that person, we need a stronger dose in order to achieve the same effect, so what happens is the relationship tends to intensify for a short time before leaving us ultimately dissatisfied. When we are in love we are looking to enjoy the present and enrich this experience for each other. It's not about the extreme sensations. It's about making the new, subtler sensations we experience around every day things a more prominent part of each others lives by sharing them and delighting in them, finding the quality of the moment. Being in love makes everything feel good, infatuation makes us want to do the things that make us feel good... as much as possible!... until they no longer give us the buzz they used to. But then there is always the idea of someone new... ...hmmm.

Its always been love and never an infactuation. When u feel someone nice and even just seeing him/her makes u happy, thats always a love. Infactuation is just a word existing only in dictionary and never in real.

hi to all out there i'm a 16 year guy.on my view the way to find out,the way you like a person is love or infactuation is simple. First free ur mind from all the thoughts,think of any worse nightmares or any worst situations u faced in life.while doing it quickly change ur thought about that special person if his/her face flashes.i'm sure it is love. i have met many girls before and thought i'm in love with them.but 2 months after breaking up from them i tried to remember their faces but my mind was empty then i tried to see my father's face it flashed at once,that's true love. When ur less than 17 true love arises only within your own family. true love arises only after 19. Please send me some comments on this.
