Do some people never experience love?

[JessieBellll]

Is it possible for someone to live a whole life without falling in love?

[Lliam]

Some people never experience love in the context of a relationship. Even many who think they have only experienced infatuation and not deep love.

Infatuation is one of the most amazing things we can experience. And it's the feeling we associate with love. That's why people think they are in love with a crush. But deep, timeless love is something different.

The existence of love is undeniable. People love their parents and their children, for example. But some reasons why people never discover romantic love are:
1) They are self centered and incapable of dedicating themselves to a partner. Their relationships are transactional.
2) They haven't yet discovered what true love is. Again, it's not infatuation.
3) They never met a person who actually loved them

There are some narcissists, sociopaths and shallow, screwed up people in the world. It's hard to find someone with healthy values and ethics that you can trust completely. Someone who loves you for who you are, wants your happiness, and will have your back for life, through thick and thin.

[Ευδεμονια]

I personally think faking in love is something easier than being loved, almost every one has fallen in love at least once. Having this love back is a completely different matter and I can say certainly there are persons that has never been loved, except by family or friends (that’s a different type of love).

[Shehnaz]

No, a person for sure falls in love at least once if not more in life however, it is next to impossible to get true love in return from the same person that he/ she loves, no matter how much his/her love interest claims to love him/her. It is nature's sad way of spreading love from one person to many others who are deprived of love in this world. True love has always been and always shall remain one sided, the rest is how good an actor the other person is to capitalise on your true emotions and at the end succeed in building a family or moving on.

[Shehnaz]

Thanks for selecting my opinion as the most helpful.

[Pinay_ako]

No. You can fall in love with someone but that doesn’t mean they have to love you back…

[Sixgunsound]

Not only is it possible, it seems to be increasingly more common as the manufactured gender war claims more casualties who fall for feminist or MGTOW propaganda. As a two parent species both genders are meant to complement each other and compensate for each other’s weaknesses. It’s really sad how so many young people are letting their respective propaganda mills deprive them of what makes life worth living.

[OldWorldOrder]

Lol. Whatever dude.

Women do not make life worth living. Especially modern Western women in the modern post-Christian world. Give me a break.

In a society with Title 9, the Duluth Model, no-fault divorce, false rape accusations & everything else, we can't trust women. How the hell can you "love" someone that you can't trust? Lol

[Sixgunsound]

@OldWorldOrder you have to find someone worth your time. They are out there; you might try ignoring the supermodel sex machine types for a down to earth girl next door. I’m sorry you got burned, but that doesn’t mean you need to participate in government facilitated depopulation or be miserable the rest of your life.

[OldWorldOrder]

I'm actually a fair bit happier than all of my married friends. Certainly happier than my divorced ones lol.

I've never really been "burned." I'm actually not even that attracted to women. That's not the source of my frustration.

What frustrates me is simps and fools who encourage young men in the modern post-Christian West to throw themselves upon the Altar of Women's Whims as a sacrifice, with absolutely no regard for things like the divorce rate, child custody battles, abortions, abuse in the home, suicide rates, et cetera. It's basically sending men into a furnace and lying to them about their chances. Tall about being "burned" lol.

[Sixgunsound]

@OldWorldOrder and nobody is suggesting that, at least I’m not. What I am suggesting is a more thorough vetting process, and as I’m assuming you have some ties to a Christian organization based on your response, you must have noticed that Christians who marry within their church tend to have more stable and longer lasting marriages. The christian model of marriage is one of mutual conditional surrender of self interest in favor of the other person, which is actually a lot less coercive or oppressive than modern feminists make it out to be. It has worked for thousands of years in the absence of several important 20th century factors. Actually practicing your faith, and finding a woman who will practice hers as well, should lead to a good and lasting marriage. That is only one model that has been proven successful out of many.

[ohshee]

Everyone experiences Love but not everyone get to experience all the different levels or depths to it or the same level of pain hurt and truth respect trust kindness giving of self and about 50 other things you have to experience all of them every day to even start to understand love

[bingbongbangbung]

Even someone as introverted and socially awkward (by choice lol) as me became romantically involved with someone else. So I think it's possible so long as you're not a complete hermit nor believing in extremist ideologies. I'm more than capable of being very socially competent but it's a waste to use that energy on faking my personality on people that would jump shit at first signs of trouble.

[bingbongbangbung]

Lol at the triggered trolls downvoting me

[KelleyNice]

Of course because no one loves people from the bottom of the barrel.

People will make a small donation but they don't love him.

[Luopio27]

Sad but only 99.99% true.

[KelleyNice]

@Luopio27 That is sad but everyday a few babies are born with deformities. Those with more severe deformities are aborted as miscarriages. It would better if more were miscarriages. And, perhaps we shouldn't save premature babies. My cousin was a premature baby and although her looks are okay she has never been normal. My aunt could have had an extra pregnancy and a normal baby. She has a son anyway but she could have a third pregnancy and two normal children.

[Amy10223]

. Thank God doctors can’t play God. Plenty of premature babies later develop into “normal” people. And while it’s true that some miscarriages happen if there is too much of a deformity, that photo above looks photoshopped. The head is disproportionate to the body, and if the body is so thin, the face should be also.

[Amy10223]

Natures way of handling those pregnancies that would be too deformed is miscarriage, at least some. But we can’t decide for ourselves who will live and should die.

[KelleyNice]

@Amy10223 I have no way of knowing whether or not that photo is photoshopped> I downloaded from the internet and, if you do an image search, you will find it.

Doctors don't have to play God perhaps they don't have to use advanced technology. Per Mayo Clinic: Premature babies, especially those born very early, often have complicated medical problems. Typically, complications of prematurity vary. But the earlier your baby is born, the higher the risk of complications.

[Amy10223]

Yes, premature babies have difficulty with their lungs and may develop difficulties in learning. That is not reason to negate them any life. We should not have any control over life, and decide who lives and who dies.

[serious]

Yes it is true. Love is not meant for everyone. Yes everyone deserves love not everyone gets it. Yes it is possible to lead a whole life without love.

I have always been single, never been in love and I can lead a loveless life.

[ChrisMike1919]

To fall in love is one thing, but to be loved back by that person is the whole thing. If the love is only on your side (story of my life), then it's nothing but future shattered dreams.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Yes, I'm one such person, despite being married and all.
I don't get the whole romantic love thing, seems to be something more for movies and books than real life.

[OldWorldOrder]

There's 8 billion people on Earth, plus however many billion others lived before us. It's a given that some people would end up "not experiencing love" or whatever, especially since it serves no vital function in a person's individual life.

[FilmGuy93]

I imagine so... you have people who are never shown love and people who are shown love but hate themselves so much that they can't accept love.

[JessieBellll]

No wonder you hate yourself for supporting pedophiles

[FilmGuy93]

lmao you do know I was trolling you back, right?

[JessieBellll]

I am not trolling

[vald9inches]

I am sure lots of people fall in love but rarely is it mutual or some people get their hearts broken so bad they can never love romantically ever again

[NatalieKeller95]

the people that should never experience love should be all those far left commie, shitbags, if anyone is to die alone it's them,

[dustybiker]

Some people are really, really, really, really, really stubborn. So, yes.

[elizamichale1]

I dont really think its ever possible coz at one time or another one really starts to like n love someone

[Mark987]

I am sure there are people that haven't. Love is a two way street... you wanna love someone that feels the same way. I was " in love" with a woman I was dating.. but the feelings weren't reciprocated

[maximumpower]

romantic love? yes.
i had a wife that i once thought loved me. found i was wrong.
is it necessary for survival? no.
tennyson was full of crap.

[Anonymous]

Yes, it’s very possible for females to not experience reciprocated love. A bit has to do with the fact that men tend to be gay and they tend to never really admire females.

[SlothySlob]

Yeah, I'd say that there are people out there who won't ever fall in love.

[NatalieKeller95]

what type of people exactly

[SlothySlob]

@NatalieKeller95 people who were born broken. In some cases they become what we call, psychopath.

[mobiusforniner]

The risk adverse who live life in fear... or stay in mommys basement, sure.

[jirwin7979]

i haven't since my heart was broken by an ex girlfriend no girl wants a nice guy we finish last and are often not wanted or we get used and tossed

[OddBeMe]

Beatles: the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Gotta be able to make it. Which i see is a common thread of those who claim not to have love.

[Anonymous]

If you’re talking about romantic love yes I know of some people with terrible physical or mental disabilities I’ve never found romantic love.

[NatalieKeller95]

what types do you mean by terrible, and why do you think people with mental disabilities would never find romantic love, and which disabilities are you talking about specifically?

[Opinion Owner]

@NatalieKeller95 I have a cousin who has several cerebral palsy, she has had to be in a nursing home her whole life, she is unable to walk, talk or take care of herself. I also went to school with classmates that had downs syndrome, some of them have not to found a romantic partner, not they couldn't but they haven't found anyone yet.

[NatalieKeller95]

yeah it's tough for them,

[SlightlyEccentric]

I knew love... Once. Doubt I'll ever feel it again.

[Anonymous]

It's no doubt more common for men than for women to remain forever alone or perpetually single than it is for women since men have always had the unfair expectation of having to do the pursuing and initiating interactions with the opposite sex

[Johnnyroyyall]

Are you talking about romantic love?

So many different types of love in the world it's hard to define it just in a generality

[Jerre]

I was in love man, many years ago. We were engaged, she was killed 2 weeks before our wedding. Now all I love is tits and fucking.

[Creampiekarl420]

Love is just not in me when I was little my mom would say she loved me and I’d just be like um ok or I like you too maybe that’s why she left 😂

[Anonymous]

What is even harder is when you find true love and lose it

[aquamarine321]

Yes it’s possible, and plenty people too, both males and females

[KrakenAttackin]

I think it's more likely that people never experience being loved by someone.

[Waldoe]

some of us fall in Love over and over... for example... I Love Jessiebellll... for now...

[Delia1979]

I’m sure some are players they only love you when their playing.

[Nads111]

Think it could be me ngl.

[fonduegirl]

My dad seems to fall into this category

[whiskeyontherocks]

I still don’t believe in love.

[Juxtapose]

Well I am still waiting for it..

[brezzybaby]

I think some people never get the chance

[Likes2drive]

I suppose so, I’m sure it happens

[Kelly6]

could be
mostly for people who are players

[larry69]

Its happening to me!!

[Passing_by]

I think it's very much possible.

[anton_dee]

Possible but extremely less percentage.

[BLP11520]

Yes, life 8s cruel for some

[Thecubs22]

I'd say yes it can happen.

[RobT312]

I hope not!

[slatyb]

It happens.

[Anonymous]

yeah me but idc tbh I love being loner

[Dontaaaa]

Yeah.

[snackthatsmilesback]

Jesus did it 👀

[SlightlyEccentric]

Mary Magdalene

[snackthatsmilesback]

@SlightlyEccentric his... mother? Or is that the other Mary. I don't think anyone should fall in love with their mother.

[SlightlyEccentric]

No not her mother. Mary of Magdala. She was sort of like Jesus' 13th disciple. They had a rather... sensual relationship with one another and its unclear whether or not they ever slept with one another. It was because of this relationship that Judas began to question the motives of Jesus thinking he might have actually been a fraud.

[snackthatsmilesback]

@SlightlyEccentric ah interesting... how about Paul then? I remember reading he never had a wife. Although i don't remember the Mary and Jesus relationship either.

[annabananna]

Do psychopaths love?

[Anonymous]

@jessiebellll I love 50yr old my love.

[VerbalWN]

Yes it is.

[Alex8736]

Narcissists.

[innerman]

true story

[Zolly99999]

I'm sure it happens

[Guardian45]

Sadly, yes

[ZenoZoldyck]

yeah
