There are 7.4 billion definitions of love on this planet, and to really make the most of this life, you really just need to understand one.Īnd to do this, let's look at the 9 types of people that seduce us with these feelings. Your feelings and byproducts and symptoms and associations and images of love. To combat this, I want you to really understand your definition of love. Is this something you're willing to live with or can even handle?
There are negatives to every positive trait, and some in this example could include: overbearing control, micromanagement behaviours, patronizing comments, a grandiose self-image, arrogance and ego. As we age, as we grow in responsibility and capability, we mustn't cling to our child-like tendencies for affection.Īnd to continue the above example, as we continue to look for partners who care for "us to the best of their ability, shielding us from as many pains and struggles that life has to give", we may continually look for people who take over our lives. We can't let ourselves plateau and stagnate our maturity levels with those of elementary or highschool students. How we act as children is just that - childish. Shouldn't I keep that definition of love? What that means is that we have a tendency to find an adult relationship with the same dynamics.īut isn't that a good thing? I made it through childhood with that kind of affection. Whatever we felt as children set the bar for how we want to be treated as adult.įor example, our mother/caregivers took care of us to the best of their ability, shielding us from as many pains and struggles that life has to give. It's when we added meaning to the words "love" and "affection".
Our adolescent days were when we forged our model for love and affection. "They treated me well enough and affectionately" is your probable response. Who were you with? Who was taking care of you? What were they all doing?įriends and family. I want you to think back to your childhood. Robert Greene’s book, The Art of Seduction
