Yeah, now I’m old and, when it comes to relationships, mostly dead inside. Starting to think I may be aromantic and now pretty much consider “love” to be a more positively connotated word for codependency.
With an opinion like that you sound like a teen trying to pass for someone old and wise. Love takes many forms and does not exclusively apply to romantic relationships, or people.
In the context of my comment, it’s pretty clear what I was referring to as love. I’m not sure what part of the expressing of my current experience was so threatening to a bunch of people, but that wasn’t my intent.
Not sure where you got that people were threatened by your comment. If it has to do with your score, it’s because it’s a very narrow view, context had nothing to do with it. You shared your opinion I shared mine. Saying people feel threatened or that we didn’t understand the context because we didnt agree is exactly the point I’m making when it feels like you are a young person trying to pass for an older one.
Yeah 100%. I was a starry eyed romantic in my 20s, but now in my 40s I realise it’s mostly transactional, even if it’s not money or things being transacted.
You are most probably wrong. How old are you?
Time really cures such feelings. In 20 years you’ll watch back to these events with a very different perspective
