Are we secretly afraid of wild, reckless love that feels dangerous?

[Sonhadora]

Do you ever think people are afraid of the kind of love that doesn’t follow rules — the reckless, mad kind that doesn’t ask permission and doesn’t wait for the “right time”?
I wonder why everyone insists love has to be safe, slow, and traditional… when the kind that actually changes you is the one that feels a little dangerous.
Do you believe that kind of love still exists, or do people just convince themselves that safe love is enough?

I think that kind of love absolutely still exists. Some connections feel different from the beginning like they weren’t something you planned, but something you stumbled into. I don’t think love is supposed to always feel safe or predictable. Sometimes the most meaningful relationships challenge you, scare you and force you to become someone you didn’t know you could be. The key is finding someone who makes you feel alive without making you lose yourself.

Some people are worried about judgement, yes

I had a relationship with somebody that just took over my whole life. I fell in love so fast and so hard but it was just so amazing that didn't pay attention to the cliff I was about to fall off. When it ended I felt like my life had ended as well. I was physically sick and as I drove home I pulled my car over and puked by the side of the road.

we should be visibly afraid of wild, reckless love.

You came out and made a question in public about it, nice 😄

I'm thrilled to read the opinions hehe

@sage2021 , i need your wisdom on this one!

Not necessarily truly afraid. But almost certainly socially conditioned against it.

When you end up with a drug addict or a disease.

Wild reckless "love" that feels dangerous is just unhealthy lust, infatuation and or limerence. That means the people involved are too immature to experience a healthy relationship.

Most people are terrified of not being in control, no matter what the circumstance.

[6942Dantheman]

no, women love it. that's why many of them leave good relationships for that kind of love and it doesn't work out.

[Anonymous]

Because the people that want love to be reckless and dangerous either haven't fully matured yet (because kids think this way). Or they're just toxic and doesn't recognize that fact.

[msc545]

No, what you've described is an addiction and typically does not end well at all.

that's not love... that's just drama

[wkhan_87]

That's not love , it called passion
