Give yourself a bit of time

I've thought about this periodically, OP.

And I didn't want to get to my deathbed having never been in love with someone. I was worried that I was getting into my late twenties and it wasn't happening. Luckily it happened last year.

But it was absolutely something I wanted to experience in my life, I didn't want to miss out on that human experience, whether it was requited or not. (It was.

)

as someone who has never had any awareness/interest in romantic or friend partnerships,can say it is perfect for self,am completely asexual and adrogenous amongst other stuff which has all been involved in having no connection/relation/interest in humans,have grown up seeing them purely as all the same object,they feel like an impossible to understand concept.

going on forums is the nearest thing that experience to 'love' am assuming, though its very distant and not one to one connections,rarely involves back forth conversations due to communication struggles.

have always felt connection to animals though,and do see close ones as friends,being without animals is like an inner torture.

You could live without it if you never experienced it, which is very possible. Ive never experienced the life of a millionaire playboy so I can cope.

True happiness is shared happiness.

I don't believe in love. Every relationship has a time limit.

Could you live without love? Well if your asking that to yourself on your death bed you have either lived with or without it..Stupid question.

LincolnsBeard · 20-04-2012 10:59PM

Yes, but only because I don't have a choice.

FloatingVoter · 20-04-2012 11:03PM

Yup, love is a desirable luxury not a necessity. That won't make a cartoon strip but so what.

That would be an excellent point if anyone had mentioned someone on their deathbed asking themselves that question.

So what's your opinion on the matter?

CitizenKeane · 21-04-2012 12:36AM

Love is not a necessity to survive.
But as a human being, it is a pointless life without love. I don't mean that in any religious sense, but if you have no love for/from your family or a partner/children, then you are merely surviving with little joy or any purpose as far as I can see.

ArtSmart · 21-04-2012 12:39AM

OP, when you say love, do you mean alcohol?

if so, then no

Babybuff · 21-04-2012 01:11AM

I feel I'm halfway toward my deathbed as is. I know there's love in me somewhere it's just buried very deeply. I do have my daughter who I know I love and care about, more than life itself and while I see that as the only legacy of love I leave behind it's very much a parental kind of love, and rarely reciprocated (they never realise how much you gave a sh/t until your dead kind of love).

I don't think it's as neccessary to be loved by someone but I think it definitely helps if you have someone to love.
or as Lao Tse said "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

anyway, I'm just trying to get there on my own.

Stained Class · 21-04-2012 01:17AM

All the problems in this world have been caused by love or the lack of it.

Tonyandthewhale · 21-04-2012 01:47AM

Like all the best things in life, love can be an intensely painful experience if you do it right. I still couldn't live without it, not without the opportunity to love someone else anyway. I think I could get by being loved, that's important but maybe not essential so long as you get the chance to really give a damn about another human being.

downwithpeace · 21-04-2012 01:56AM

I've been madly in love, after it all relationships just never seem to bring the same feelings so on my death bed I (As of now) would miss that love for me but hopefully when I'm seconds from kicking it I'll have the good fortune of a women that loves me as much as I love her. Knowing how good it feels I would really miss it, not knowing it would be a life incomplete.

He never replied.

Why won't you answer me?! What have I done? It's my nose, isn't it? My hair? Ears? I can change, I swear. Maybe I came on too strong? Yes, that's it. Answer me!

*drops to knees*

You're tearing me apart, mike!!!

Babybuff · 21-04-2012 02:04AM

If I had a big stonkin jay to smoke right now I'd love all of you unconditionally and that's all that matters. (and John Lennon would make more sense)

DB21 · 21-04-2012 02:05AM

What is love?

Smidge · 21-04-2012 02:05AM

I think most people mistake lust for love.
That heart stopping feeling that you cant live without that person,
That yearning to know what the other person is doing,
That thought that the day will not go quickly enough until you see that person,
That gasping breathless moment until you are physically near to that person,
That watching, waiting, for contact from that person.
And when that person has left you side, the anticipation of return,

Could you live without love?
