I'm so thirsty for romantic love that I don't appreciate and ignore other types of love I receive from my family, friends, etc. I can see that they care about me and everything, but I just don't feel loved by them, even if they do love me. And even if I did, I wouldn't care about it, because all I want is to be romantically in love with someone and be loved by them.

    Romantic love is volitile. It is wonderful and intense at times but when it isn't, it crashes and burns. You need other types of love to balance you out and help you move on from the crazy. Dont deprive yourself of the other types of love or you will always be thirsty for the drama that romance brings and you will never truly be fulfilled.

    I have the same feeling. I know it's bad and I feel especially guilty when I think about not devoting as much love to my family/friends as I should. Deep down I find myself desperate to get guys' attention(especially the good-looking ones), whilst never being able to attract a proper date. I think it's because I've drfited away from many of my peers - they talk about trivial stuff that just ain't interest me, and I'm still a bit old-fashioned for liking to read/think/write/high art etc. Probably I'm really seeking the soul-mate sort of bonding, and romance love seems the closest kind to it.

    This is pathetic and I've tried to focus more on work and hobbies. I also find doing nice things for other people and genuinely caring about them makes me feel good, which is at least a "righteous" compensation for the lack of romance.

    It's a good way to mess up your life.

    I dont think this is particularly normal but its not not normal...i feel the same way though. I do care about my family and friends love and etc but its just not the same extreme impact as romantic love has. i think that its normal though because there are different kinds of love. so just because you feel you love your fam and its not as high tention as long for your SO doesnt mean that one love is less important than the other. sometimes we really dont know what we have till its gone.
