Love is passion; dependence is indifference.

Some people say that the closest feeling of love is "hate", so why he after the breakup, all good overnight into a dirty word, those sacrifices become a raging, passionate, inexplicable hatred.

If you feel love, you will feel anger, paranoia, and anxiety at the same time. Always sad, ugly qualities that slap a hot face on some calm night, please do not worry those too strong emotions, do not confuse with pain impurities in love or not love, love is never only beautiful, but also with you Pentium, the cry of the wound, so it is different.

Psychologist Elaine Hatfield defines two complete types of love, namely love of compassion and love of passion. Compassionate love includes mutual respect, trust and affection, and passionate love involves strong feelings and sexual attraction. "The passionate state of love is a complex carrier that realizes ecstasy, unrequited affection (separation) and emptiness, anxiety or despair. 」

Psychologist Alexandra Katehakis studies the love of over-reliance: "Such people are likely to suffer from love addiction, just like alcoholism kills." The other half of love is like "cash machine", soon spent soon to pick up the collar, the person is more and more impatient, will consider the material he can not meet you. In addition, it is easy to lose patience in love and even want to isolate him from family and friends.

Love is selfless, dependence is self-centered

When you are drowning in love, you will want to bring all the beautiful things that smile to him. When you are just dependent, just think about how to satisfy your desires in this relationship. Ego Center is a kind of narcissistic gaze, even as a partner of love, both of them may be competitive, selfish and aggressive, only the love of dependence will appear in like "comparison": I pay more, I shed more tears for this relationship, the last meal is I invited. These are to "own" the center of departure, not all really care about love, but is everywhere not suffer.

True love is not willing to split, not easily divided between you and me, the study of Yale University found that selfless love stems from deep compassion and longing for others ' happiness. So we are willing not to receive any return, because this pay in the hearts of those who love is also reward themselves.

Love is release, dependence is possessive

When you are in a complete love, you do not need to use security to kidnap him, do not have to be tired of all the time, without suspicion and jealousy to witness your care. The love of dependence at first is full of freshness, you always want to know what he is doing now, ate, did not think of you? Once you're apart, you're distracted by the tension, like an empty piece of meat on your heart.

The complete love lets you know to let go, does not worry about the outcome, understands forgives, does not have the emotion to kidnap the other party's freedom. We often misunderstand possessive desire is the product of love, love means responsibility, when caring for each other, protect each other's actions bring "power relationship", possessive desire to become power, we want to have each other, control each other, don't let other forces touch each other. (Hey Dear: Three kinds of attachment patterns that affect love!) To use psychology to find the feeling of security )

"Some people think that love is sex, marriage, a six o'clock in the morning kiss, a bunch of kids, maybe that's it, Miss Lester," wrote the author of the wheat patch. But you know what I think? I think love is to touch and take back the hand. 」

Responsibility for love is not duty, not to be penny-pinching, love, not only possession, but also accept each other have their own freedom.

Love is empowerment; dependence is arbitrary.

Love is not a competition, it is not a fight to win. In love relations often have the role of "obedience" appears, when one side appears to cooperate with each other's life map walking mentality appears, it is easy to feel wronged and sacrifice.

Well-known psychoanalytic biologist Fromm defines mature love as a combination of maintaining one's dignity and individuality. Love is a kind of active ability of man, a kind of ability to break through the barrier that separates people from others, and the ability to unite him and others. Love makes one overcome loneliness and separation, but Love acknowledges one's own worth and keeps its own dignity.

Therefore the complete love must maintain the absolute autonomy, the love characteristic is gives more than the request, according to Fromm's theory understanding love, we can treat as the ego the fulfillment, and sublimate for the devotion, but not loses, the sacrifice. To learn the authorization of love is to achieve both sides in the mind or body to achieve the balance of satisfaction, is not in love, the commander is not the pursuit of permanent sitting in the relationship of "Upper throne."

Love is looking back and there is a taste of dependence is short

If love can not care a lot of resentment, pain, more miss sweet time and not regret, life can have such a love is lucky. To rely on love is like a parasitic relationship, attachment of the spirit of one side of the flesh until no longer can supply, the love of the most ferocious face. Because you are not greedy that 1:30 engraved good, Zooey happy, so you are willing to wait in the crowd, waiting for a pair of eyes gently skillfully to expose, waiting for the not hot temperature. More than the light of the contact, only a bright night sky. (You'll like it: a psychological exercise to find love back )

Love is never easy, love is sometimes a safe let go is not occupation, sometimes is stupid rather than understanding, sometimes listening is better than sharing. If there is that person, complete the whole land like you for your existence to adapt to all of you, this love is more worthy of thinking: "I can make him feel happy?" 」
