Falling in love?
I often wonder if others feel love as intensely as I do, especially because it’s so dramatized on screen, making it hard to truly understand love as a concept in real life. It’s even more complicated by the fact that, in today’s world, many people seem to be yearning for a relationship not out of love, but because they like someone enough to date or hook up with them. It feels like dating has become more of a necessity than an emotional connection, which makes it even harder to recognize what genuine love really is.
For me, love is wholehearted. I've loved two people in my lifetime, though I've had several crushes. When I'm in love, I become insufferable—absolutely insufferable. I don't even realize it in the first few months; it's like a switch flips, and suddenly, my life’s mission becomes to improve their life. I remember once stopping drawing entirely because my crush was deeply religious and believed that imitating life through art was sinful. At that time, I wasn’t religious at all, but I just stopped. I never questioned why I did it for this random person in my life—I just did, and for a long time too, and as someone who uses art as a crutch that was insane. Looking back, I can now see it was because I was completely head over heels.
Sometimes, I get really possessive, but I’d never show it. It just eats at me inside, and I can’t stop thinking about them. It’s almost like a drug, consuming my thoughts. It’s intense, and it takes over, but I try to keep it to myself. It wont ever affect them, just myself, I just become increasingly helpful to my crush because my love language is acts of service.
Am I insane? Cause I don't seem to see people around me love as strongly as I do.
Your such a giving lover haha, opposite of me who I personally consider selfish lover. Your like the golden retriever ML/FL and I'm the obnoxious ml that gets dumped in the story xD
Lol relationship is hard, finances, the unknowingly fact that they might not be a good match to sacrifice my back for and "compromise", the acts of service and affecti...... 1 reply

I am actually very similar to you! You are not alone!
It can be tricky for people like us to date especially with how casual dating has become. I personally hate that I am like this because I end up getting hurt the most. I wish the best for both of us! 1 reply
Hi,
After reading other answers I would like to add that there isn't a unique way of loving and feeling love. It depends on your personality, life history, cognitive and emotional background and just who you are in general. Some people feel love deeply, others lightly, yet they can be happy with it in both situations. Some would give their all, be ...... reply
Insane? A little bit but I wouldn't mind being your crush. To be loved so much to the point one will change themselves to fit into their crush's world is something else. I never had any strong feelings for any of my crushes nor had the need to change for them cause in the end I am who I am and I stand with my principles and beliefs. If they don't l...... reply
I don't think you're insane lol. Just have a lot of love to give. I feel you because I've been through this ( only one person till now though) and I remember I was never the 1st one to end a conversation late at night or deny something if they ask me. I used dream of conversations that never happened irl it was serious for me lol. I too would never...... reply
My ex girlfriend was like this except she'd really show it and make me feel overwhelmed. We were never on the same page or pace with our relationship and she became more obsessive and controlling as time went on. I don't think you're insane, I really admire people who love deeply and have lots of empathy but I feel like there might be an underlying...... reply
