hehehe. this post i wanted to share an article about "LOVE". This topic was what i learned when i took positive psychology, the best subject evaaa~~ Title: Love and well being; chapter five.
i'll just explain in brief, copy paste notes lolol~ for the girls n boys out there, when u think u've fall in love, especially the one who's madly in love....make sure u made the right choice. :) don't end up regretting later on.
Two factor theory: passionate love & companiate love
Passionate love: Also known as romantic love
- intense feeling of attraction to another within an erotic context and with future expectations
- inspired poems, novels, movies and songs across the globe
Problems
- short lived (fades after 6-30 months)
- high intensity equates to interference in career, school and family
- based on mystery/fantasy
- clouded by illusions of perception
& it's true :)
Companiate love: Strong and lasting attraction characterized by trust, caring, tolerance and friendship
- admiration and respect
- deep feelings of caring
- commitment to the relationship
- value of companionship (intimate confidante)
Maintenance:
- overlook each other’s faults
- form idealized or unrealistically positive perception of each other
Of cos ppl would want a companiate love, not a passionate love. Lust and love is totally different. U can say "i love u" anytime u want. ur heart n lust played ur mind. the eagerness tainted ur life!
curiosity kills the cat, next time don't take life n love easily. regrets are something irreplaceable.
