Is it possible to love someone more than yourself?

Question

EVERY Veteran who's served in time of conflict, loves more than themself.

To be willing to risk their ending for their family, friends and fellow countrymen to preserve their lives and way-of-life, loves MORE THAN themself. Organ donors love others more than themselves. ENTIRE religions are crafted around such 'self-less' giving. To be willing to 'give' when there's not ENOUGH to sustain the BOTH of you... no greater manifestation of 'love' in action. For ultimately, in the fullness of time, death itself holds no sway; Its what you've done with the time you had at hand. <3

Yes however it's usually short lived given how the physiological make up of humans is lol and I'd say it's because look, I can "love" a woman in a relationship however I never like that cringey sickly vomits 🤢🤮 love or Hollywood movies type love or those overdone obitaruaries of "she was my soulmate* or "she was the X Y Z feces never stunk woman on this green blue Earth" uhh uh talk about cringe. 😬 Cringey cringe. No I'd never want someone to love me or for me to love them, so toxic love vomits 🤮🤢

No. Some people do under certain circumstances but it's only a projection on a the person they love.

BobbieBoy666 · Answer

The short answer: NO. More specifically, your capacity to love another is directly proportional to your capacity to love yourself. If you don't love yourself, you can certainly idealize someone, long for someone, or even seduce someone, but this is not the same as actually loving someone else.

Yes it is possible but it's dangerous. I've had a difficult past experience with people in general so I'm very careful it's not even intentional it just happens automatically. I love someone right now and I trust her but it's still not easy for me sometimes to love her as much as I think I should or I don't know what's "normal" or whatever. And I've worked on my own trauma and stuff a lot probably more than 95% of people :)

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Yeah, people do it all the time.. Maybe they might not think much of themselves but put on the love into somebody else.. Think a person who wouldn't think much about defending themselves, but would quickly jump to the defense of those they love.. Simply because they are precious to them.

shoeboxcerealcard · Answer

Hard NO.  I'm not going to waste my time explaining though. I understand people have their feelings and it's controlling the way they think.

Flatmanlewis · Answer

Yes. 1000% yes. Romantically? Maybe. Your parents or siblings? Also maybe. Your children? Yes. Absolutely. The love you feel for your own children can easily supersede anything of anyone you have ever lived before, including yourself.

Djaay · Answer

Love isn't meant for yourself , that's an exaggerated flattering or infatuation of one's self. Love is only configuerated if shared from one to another. Those who argue differently have 0 concept of a shared anomaly from one to another. which also might bring into question respecting others or the integrity of them and someone else.

BCRanger10 · Answer

Yes. In fact, in marriage, it's a  solemn requirement.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Yes absolutely. I already let myself fall into this trap once, can't let that ever happen again.

Quigly · Answer

Taking care of yourself and taking care of someone else is one and the same. You must take care of yourself first, you have to be in a good position to take care of someone else. You can't otherwise.

Billlewis · Answer

Of course it is. That's the only way I know how to conduct myself in a relationship ❤️

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, that is very possible

Anonymous · Answer

People will claim that because it has to be true otherwise no one would want to find a life partner. In reality everyone is in it for themselves. Everyone wants something from someone. Women want to be catered to, they want money, etc. Men want sex.

Anonymous · Answer

It is. But it generally only happens in familial situations like a mother or father for a child. It's very rare outside of that.

JayBones · Answer

Have kids or date a fat tittied goth that can suck a brick through a garden hose. That's real love.
