feels like love
there are many emotions that masquerade as love. what seemingly is a loving relationship may actually be an unhealthy co-dependency between two emotionally dependent people or among members of a dysfunctional family.
how then do we know if what we feel is pure love or just something that feels like it? take the test below to find out if you’re capable of truly loving or need to unlearn those wrong ways of relating with others:
-
i become jealous, possessive and i desire exclusivity with my special friend, viewing other people as a threat to the relationship.
-
i want to spend time alone with this special friend and i become frustrated when this doesn’t happen.
-
i become irrationally angry or depressed when my special friend withdraws from me.
-
i lose interest in my other friendships.
-
i experience romantic or sexual feelings leading to fantasy about my special friend.
-
i become preoccupied with my special friend’s appearance, personality, problems and interest.
-
i am unwilling to make short or long-term plans that do not include my special friend.
-
i am unable to see my special friend’s faults realistically.
-
i display physical affection beyond that which is appropriate for a friendship.
-
i refer frequently to my special friend in conversations; i fell free to "speak" for my special friend.
-
i exhibit an intimacy and familiarity with my special friend that causes others to feel uncomfortable or embarassed in their presence.
if you checked any one or more of the above, it’s time to ask yourself: do i really love my special friend or am i trapped in an emotionally dependent relationship? be honest with yourself and your loved one. set each other free and seek to be heated.
