Thread: Is there anyone else with my "disease"

Be careful to not too get wrapped up in a Hollywood version of what love "should be". Love is different for everyone.
I've been in several serious relationships and married twice. Yet I've never been what most people would call "in love". I can live without another person by my side. I don't need someone to validate or rescue me and I don't feel overly compelled to do such for someone else either.
For me, love is finding a dear friend you could happily spend forever with. It's wanting to be around them, the first person you want to talk to when you're happy or sad, it's wanting to learn all about them and sharing secrets with them. And most of all, it's loyalty.

You're young. Don't feel bad, don't rush things because you or others think you "should". Take your time and enjoy life and enjoy looking for your special someone.
