Enough to get by, but not completely. Like most things.

I'm on Lemmy so no. /s

[daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I don't get it.

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

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.

I understand it in theroy.

But:

[daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

Love is not just one thing on its own.

[canopyflyer@lemmy.world]

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.

Awe, they are full of love.

[daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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

Oh, so you didn't go and learn I was playing on the fact that I am Aro-ace?
