Love is Mental Illness

Love is real. But it is not magic. It is not divine intervention or meaningful. Love means your body senses that someone is a compatible mate. That your genes and their genes would combine well.

Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in thinking, emotion or behavior caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Love does exactly that. Therefore, love is a mental illness.

I dont want love anymore. I want pleasure. I want power. Others may love me but I am stronger than some primitive trick to get me into spreading my genes.

Are you? Or are you a normie who is a slave to his amygdala?

Oh look, it;s this thread again.

no I replaced my amygdala with a gameboy color long ago

Love is a scam

i hate how people glorify love like its so good. love is just as bad for you as drugs or alcohol or porn or sex or and other vice. love makes people just as crazy as the rest. they are all poison that makes you feel good. ill stick with the lesser evils, booze and mindless sex

I hope you wasted a lot of time on that shitty image.
lol okay OP, deport me when you're POTUS

...

Love is a psychosis, not a mental illness. There's a difference. A mental illness is a life long and possibly not biologically intended condition.

Sounds like someone just got dumped.


It's fun, just remember that it doesn't last. It's a lot easier when you know that and just enjoy it for a bit before it dies.

I want a lovebot I can't love

No the trick is to raise them like a daughter, and try to make sure they actually grow up with good values that women are not normally encouraged to have, like empathy.

[citation needed]

you have described what mental illness involves but have not what makes something qualify as a mental illness and consequently have failed to describe how love fits this criteria

it is perfectly possible to be a functioning member of society and be in love and can even when used to form strong emotional bonds, contribute to good mental health as per maslows hierarchy of needs

a person who would be deficient at forming strong emotional bonds could be for example have some form of ASD or personality disorder.

i used to believe that love was an ego rationalisation of base sexual urges. whether it has anything to do with whether your genes will combine well seems dubious to myself from anecdotal experience.

whether love is an symptom of ego or an emotion in its own right is arbitrary to some extent

your emotions and ego are there to provide your consciousness with information. so whether it is an emotion or is (part of) ego it still providing you with information. what you do with that information is where your strength of character comes into play where you will be able to cultivate power. denying / repressing emotions is a mechanism for poor mental health

take for example your sight isnt the real world, your sight can lie to you, its your brains interpretation of electrical signals entering your brain. you wouldnt gouge your eyes out just because they only show you a hologram and not the real world instead you or maybe more accurately your psyche learns to use that information to aid you in your day to day life

incidentally OP i found this pic that i think could be of you

fuck meant to edit that out

i was going to go on to say that i couldnt have been genetically compatible with all the people i wanted to fuck or felt that i was in love with.

then i considered that most people who would fall into that category would be good looking

having good looks almost certainly has some correlation with good genetic makeup

so there is almost certainly some truth to OPs original assertion of love and genetic comparability

kek

I beat the system by organizing my life in such a way that I am stuck in the red and orange levels of Maslow's pyramid, and therefore mental/emotional bullshit can't bother me. Simple life is good.

I hacked Maslow.
Love is a minimal requirement.
Belonging is already done.

...

Fucking bait.

...

sorry to hear that you have so bleak and meaningless life

I genuinely feel sorry for you, OP.
