What does love feel like?
15/f
I don't think I've ever felt love before.. of any kind. I mean I like my family but I feel towards them what I would feel towards a stranger or looking at a wall. Sure, I tell them I love them occasionally but I guess everyone just says that. I don't really have the best relationship with my family but not the absolute worst. That's probably because I don't like to spend a lot of time at home. I'm usually at a friends or when I am home I sit in my room away from the rest of them. And that's okay because it keeps me away from the bitching they do. Just is it normal to not really feel anything special? Is it like a mental thing? Or do you sincerely feel something? Maybe I'm jut thinking about it to much or expecting to much.. I dunno.
I don't think I've ever felt a lot of emotion before and I am just lately realizing it. I'm young, I know.
Also, just another little side question for fun.
Don't you think the worth of "love" kind of decreased like everyone literally tells everyone "I love you" whether they mean it or not. Makes it not as special, yanno?

Well if they do alot of arguing (that's what bitching means in my family)that's probablly why you don't spend much time with them and don't feel that love for them. It's normal my friend says she's never said i love you to her mom or hugged her. That's not really normal but I'm sure what you're feeling isn't totally uncommon. It may be a mental thing, if anything happened to you as a child or you're sensative talking about your family with other people. Expecting too much I don't think so, thinking about it too much....maybe, if you're letting it bother you. Never felt much emotion that's normal some people are just like that. It did not decrease people I know say I love you but there's different kinds of love like you may love someone like love who they are or what they do or you may love a friend like they're you're family or you can be in love with someone which is alot different. I've never really met anyone who says I love you without meaning it like as if to a stranger. You may just love someone for something they have done it's as simple as that. Some people have a lot of love in them (I for one happen to be one of those lucky little ducks!) :3

Honestly, I've been going through the same exact thing. I have a similar problem with my family, and I feel at times like love is just a word people throw around. There are, of course, different types of love. Obviously you won't love your family like you'll love your husband. At your age and all, it's understandable that you don't know what loving a husband is like yet. However, with your family, it's important you understand they do love you. A big part of why you feel the way you do is hormones and such, being a teen. You're just starting to figure everything out, and sometimes it's very easy to over or under look things. Family life in general, with the generations, just seems to get worse and worse. But, I don't think love is what is the problem. I think it's just so much confusion, hurt, pain, and hard feelings in the world. Love is there, but it's easily overshadowed by bad things. I would suggest spending more time with your family, or talking to a close friend about how you feel. Find ways you can enjoy your time, and the happier you get with your situation, the more you'll see the good, and the love people have for you.
Best wishes to you. -<3-

Love is a feeling. The problem is this answer has so many possible answers because there are so many different kinds of love. You can love your family, friends or be in love with someone. Actually being in love is the most intense. For me at least, I am in love with my husband. And for me, that means I would do anything. Anything for him. I can't imagine the world existing without him in it let alone my life. To be quite honest, I would die for my husband.
And yes. For a lot of people, 'I love you' doesn't seem to hold much value. I personally was never able to say it to anyone but my husband. I couldn't say it until I knew it was true but most people aren't like that.
Hope this sheds a little light.
