Fashionably Delusional Relationships

 
-Bella Swan
 
An Addictive love, though it can be fun, is probably the worst kind of love to feel, because it requires so much sacrifice. The symptoms are as follows:
  • The 'need' to unnecessarily be self-sacrificing 'to prove your love.'
  • Severely exaggerating your lover's qualities or not noticing your love's true qualities.
  • (Guys or Girls) Constantly proving your love by outrageous, sometimes dangerous stunts of courage
  • Constant fear of saying the wrong, unromantic things (So basically having a constant filter or looking on quietly with a faux worldly expression at your love)
  • Because you have a filter, you can't deeply confide with significant other
  • Constantly waxing poetically
  • Doesn't require much growth, development, or serious commitment
  • No capacity to deal with lover's bad habits because...they don't have bad habits (for all you know)
  • Projecting a picture perfect ideal onto your lover
  • An overdramatic view of how love should always be very intense and not fun.
  • not having a solid foundation of friendship
Everything then equates to the bullets below=
  • Very unrealistic expectations
  • Irresponsibility
  • Short-lived
  • Running on passion alone, and not firm understanding
  • Not rooted in reality
  • Requires perfect, neat little images of both lovers...
  • Blindness to faults
  • Unauthentic
  • Doesn't require fun
  • All about appearances
  • Devoid of natural, easy-going conversations or having other interests outside your significant other to share with them
 
Sugary/addictive love is more concentrated on the giddiness of seeing a particular person and feeling very important to them, but not much else of substance. This love, built on grandiose notions and intense 'passion', will cannibalize itself.
