1. Define love in your own words.
Love is the feeling that you get when you are willing to give up everything for that person. You want to completely help them. If only if they let you...
2. What does love feel like for you?
I usually have several types of love. Love for that one special SO, and love for other friends/humankind. Love makes you feel happy, it makes you want to be around them, and tell your deepest fears to them. I myself want it so bad, and I have in a sense, so I shouldn't complain.
3. How do you prefer to recieve love?
Eeeee... I don't know. I guess I would love to have somebody talk to me, instead of me having to talk to them. (I'm male) I want to feel a closeness with someone whether its from them or from myself, it feels the same.
4. How do you show your love? Is expressing it easy or difficult? Are you effusive or reserved?
It's hard to explain how I show love. Sometimes, during big emotional problems, I love to express my love to "her". But during times of happiness, I actually find it harder and find that I am more susceptible to teasing others, etc. So it's hard to express love in these circumstances. I never say it straight out loud, I always write it down, and my INFJ friend (female) seems to accept it
5. How many people do you TRULY love?
I feel love for several, but I can only TRULY love one person at a time. Right now, it's my INFJ friend, so yeah.
6. How long does it take for you to truly love someone?
This is what seems to happen. First, I have to get to know them over a LONG period of time, though not necessarily a lot of time "together", and then I need to have extreme disconnection with my former "true love". Because of the disconnection, I am able to move on and look forward. If I try to look for a new love, but I still often see my former, than it is nearly impossible to develop that true love.
7. What causes you to love someone?
I have to spend a reasonable amount of seeing them, even if we rarely talk. Other than that it doesn't matter. If they have interests and passions, I believe that is a big deal-maker. Usually after seeing how passionate about a hobby, etc. and how nice they are, I will fall in love with them.
8. Have you experienced unrequited love? If so, describe your feelings about it.
My entire life, meaning I was the one unrequiting loving. None of my people I like like me back, so I feel it is very good, and with my current INFJ friend, it seems that even though she does not like me back, I still receive some friendship love with her, and I think that is enough. I don't know... what I would like is at the start some unrequited love from my side, followed by her eventually developing feelings for me... thats what i think.
9. Are your feelings towards people consistant, or do you fluctate between love and hate?
They are NOT always consistent. I always in the back of my mind, have the knowledge, "Yes, I love her", but when something happens, and I am weak and impatient, I find myself starting to hate (mostly, just the situation) and then I go through an emotional turmoil thing, (which I actually LOVE) so much better than the "normality" of some relationships I see.
10. Is it difficult for you to love people? Do you guard yourself, or are you open?
I find it easy to love people. If they will accept it, I would give my love to everyone. But it needs to be deep, if it's going to go anywhere. I won't share my love extravertedly or anything, but if she is being open as well, I will eventually tell her how much she means to me.
