A clinical explanation of "love."

Oct 07, 2005 03:46

Loneliness. Despicable. Narcissistic. Pretentious. Loneliness is a kind of therapy-wallowing in self pity in the hopes of finding a painful meaning for existence. By being alone and reminding yourself, constantly, of your isolation from the world, you remind yourself of the joys of companionship. Of all that life has to offer. The joys. And, therefore exorcise deeper issues that you have about life in general.

It’s all very clinical.

Her arms around you-you always take it for granted and then promise not to when she's not there anymore. Shame on you. What does that tell you about your mental health?

“I love you.” Love is a sedative. It makes you complacent.

“Forever.” It’s a myth. “I’ll be with you forever,” she whispers in your ear. “Hold me.” If she ever meant it, you’d be scared out of your mind. But now, when she’s off with him, how you wish for a few more minutes of forever.

I ask again, what does this say about your mental health?

Is it truly fair to ask her to be devoted to you? To ask her to regard you as the most important person in the world? To see and talk to you every day? To care about everything in your life? How wrong of you. She is her own person. And your need for acceptance by another human being just lights up your own insecurities.

So, crying yourself to sleep at night tells me a few things about you. You’re terrified of the big, deep questions of life, you take things for granted, you wish desperately to believe in the myths of “true love” in order to justify your existence, and you’re terribly selfish and narcissistic.

What does this say about your mental health?

In short, you’re 100% normal. Go be a functioning member of society.

"Love turns tripe into gold. Love burns a circle in the snow."
