Is it normal that i don't believe in falling in love at all??

I personally think that the whole idea about falling in love is non-sense, I know it happens or people claim to fall in love but I just think it's stupid and a selfish thing. And what's better; Love or being in love and what is the difference? Also, does that mean that I probably wont fall in love in this lifetime as I don't believe in it?

    What's selfish about love? Surely love is the opposite of selfish, wanting to share so many aspects of your life with someone else. Sometimes people in relationships act extremely selfishly, but usually those people are not in love.

    • because being in love shuts everyone else out, that's why!

        Well, not necessarily. You can be in love and still care about other people just as much as you did before and treat your friends and family just as well as you did before. Being in love doesn't require spending all your time with the object of your love (although some people might behave that way).

        • true but isn't "falling in love" meant to be more better than caring or loving someone else? and most people tend to forget others when in a sexual relationship for some reason ;/

            It could just be the people you know. I don't think you hate the idea of falling in love, I think you just hate it when your friends shut you out to be with their significant others. I can understand that disdain, but if you want the friendship then perhaps you might want to tell your friend how you feel. Maybe they might see it your way and realize that they've been ignoring you.

    Hate to break it to you but it doesn't matter what you believe. It's a real, neurological and physiological occurence and the evidence is out there that love is a traceable release of chemicals and endorphins in your brain. Whether you choose to believe in it does not change the fact or the science. The difference between various types and degrees of love is chemical and whether or not it is selfish is irrelevant to the fact.

    Google it. The information is abundant and it's out there and it's something many of us were taught in high school Biology and sex-ed. Bonus for those of us who had to take Psychology.

    • really? isn't it caused by the way you think which causes chemical reactions within your brain that are released ...I always thought that it was a choice at the end of the day as you can fall out of love, therefore you would think that it's more to do with thought than feeling...

        Chemical reactions in your brain affect the way you think. Hence, why doctors prescribe medication to people who have Depression, Bipolar disorder, etc.

        It's a chemical reaction. Period. You don't have to believe in neurochemistry. That doesn't change it's truth value.

    Well like personally I dont like to believe in love. I mean I understand that such a thing exsists but I think my image has been tampered with since my friends overexagerate with how theyre in love with their boyfriends only to break up with them the next week kind of thing. So I dont like to ever believe I have ever been in love with someone. I mean I think I have been in love but we dont talk so my image of them has changed.

    • yeah I totally know what ya mean, people tend to throw those 3 words around like bouncing a ball, I mean it's meant to only be said when you truly "feel" it, it's a warm fuzzy feeling, it's not something sexual or conditional or even said for fun! I'ts something you only ever say when you mean it. I find it especially annoying how girly friends say it to each other all the time, all over facebook; aww I love u sooo much hunay blah blah blah! non sense is what it is! you say it when ya mean it even with friendships.

        actually I take that back. I know cases where non-believers have found love and it has totally liberated them. disregard my previous comment.

            I think a good relationship is one where someone's qualities and individuality is supported so that it continues to blossom and grow. That is at the basis of love to me, the person will love the other for enhancing their sense of being and vice versa.
