        Philosophical answer: That shit is crazy, but we need it. We'll never understand it.

        Science answer: Evolution and brain chemicals.

          Nope. Tho that might be years of others conditioning me to believe I was unlovable, then social doings became harder cause I was done with school

            since feeling is first
            who pays any attention
            to the syntax of things
            will never wholly kiss you;

            wholly to be a fool
            while Spring is in the world

            my blood approves,
            and kisses are a better fate
            than wisdom
            lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
            —the best gesture of my brain is less than
            your eyelids’ flutter which says

            we are for each other: then
            laugh, leaning back in my arms
            for life’s not a paragraph

            And death i think is no parenthesis

            -- ee cummings

              Found one.

              There are plenty of people who felt the same way you do but it doesnt have to be a macro thing. Am I lovable? What a crazy thing to say. Have I been loved? I love you. I dont love anything specific about you, obviously, but when I look out into the world I want you to be safe, and cared for, and healthy. Thats love.

              Thats macro. Micro comes from within. Its wired into your body, generally speaking.

                  Ah the infinite loop.

                  Some lyrics should help.

                  Should I try to hide

                  The way I feel inside

                  My heart, for you?

                  Would you say that you

                  Would try to love me too?

                  In your mind

                  Could you ever be

                  Really close to me?

                  I can tell the way you smile

                  If I feel that I

                  Could be certain, then

                  I would say the things

                  I want to say tonight

                  But 'til I can see

                  That you'd really care for me

                  I will dream

                  That someday you'll be

                  Really close to me

                  I can tell the way you smile

                  If I feel that I

                  Could be certain, then

                  I would say the things

                  I want to say tonight

                  But 'til I can see

                  That you'd really care for me

                  I'll keep trying to hide

                  The way I feel inside

                  Just recognize it and break the cycle.

                      Personally, I think Heinlein said it best: "Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

                      Love is also a choice that you need to make every day.

                      Next week my wife and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I love her more now than I did back then.

                          I think you misread the meme. So I'll point you in the direction; the shirts are pride flags.

                                  Its a cycle. You can break it at any point. You might need to quit dreaming.

                                        Do you know what love is? A chemical. Electrons in your brain sending signals. Are you familiar with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis? It's a fungus that infects ants. It's amazing, really. The spores take over their central nervous systems and force them to climb to a high point, and then the fungus begins to grow up, bursting from the tops of their heads like a branch. And it kills them, of course. All so it can spray new spores over the jungle, infecting more ants. When people say love, that's what I think of.

                                          Good thing cordyceps can't survive in humans due to our higher body temperature.
