Love and falling in love often look similar, although there are significant differences between them. Love is a deep feeling, time-tested and based on good knowledge of a partner, and falling in love is a fast-moving, but strong emotion caused by the fascination with another person.
Instructions
Step 1
Falling in love, according to psychologists, is a natural, "natural" state of a person. Based on instincts and hot emotions, love flares up in the heart and actively attracts representatives of the human race to reproduction. A person in love does not notice reality, he distorts reality in his ideas, idealizing the object of his passions. Love is a mature feeling that arises and develops with the participation of not only emotions, but also the mind. You know your partner well, his shortcomings do not shock you, you like many of his qualities. In short, we can say that the basis for falling in love is idealized representations, and the basis for love is an understanding of reality.
Step 2
When a person experiences love, he has approximately the same symptoms as with mental obsession. The object of his passion becomes an obsession, without seeing it, a person cannot eat or sleep. Lovers walk without noticing anything around. Any trifle, any inattention on the part of a beloved person can plunge a lover into despair, and a kind word or gesture of attention, on the contrary, helps to fly up under the clouds. Love is much calmer. If your loved one doesn't answer SMS for half an hour or even a few hours, you won't go crazy. If your loved one is in a bad mood, you may not decide that they no longer have feelings for you. Love is understanding a partner.
Step 3
A good test of how you feel can be a breakup for a while. People in love, if they cannot communicate, usually either idealize a partner in such a way that when they meet, they are often disappointed, or they forget about the object of recent passion rather quickly. You can only wait for a person for whom there is a truly deep feeling of love. People who love each other meet years after the forced separation, realizing that the beloved person has not become less dear and “their own” during this time.
Step 4
Sometimes we can say that falling in love is a gift from heaven, and love is hard work, but falling in love is easy and fleeting, and love is strong and reliable. Feelings that suddenly flooded people and made them happy can be compared to a miracle or magic. But if they decide to build a relationship, then they will certainly face many problems. If feelings develop into love, then the couple will cope with difficulties, since true love is able to support people as much as nothing else.
