Love is a feeling familiar to many people. It can have different meanings and implications for different people.
What is love
Love encompasses a range of emotions and behaviors marked by closeness, passion, and commitment.
It includes caring, intimacy, protection, attraction, affection, and trust in relationships between people.
People generally love those with whom they are in close relationships – friends, relatives, partners.
Some argue that love is not just an emotion, but a fundamental human need.
This view is based on the fact that every person needs both closeness and love.
Without this, a happy life is almost impossible.
Signs of love and infatuation
There are different forms of love, each with its own distinctive characteristics.
Infatuation is often characterized by a strong attraction without a sense of commitment.
It usually occurs at the beginning of a relationship and can develop into a deeper, longer-lasting love.
Passionate love is characterized by strong feelings of longing and attraction, often including idealization of the other person and a desire for constant physical closeness.
Attachment involves the need to be with another person, seeking physical contact and approval.
Trust between people also plays an important role in love - it is the exchange of personal thoughts, feelings and desires with another person.
