Is It Love Or Infatuation?

Selfishness and jealousy are the foundation stones of infatuation. Infatuation is more concerned about satisfying you and your feelings than satisfying the other person and his feelings. You turn out to be anxious when your desires are not fulfilled. You also feel jealous when a person with whom you’re infatuated spends more time with someone else than spending time with you. This becomes the root cause for distrust and disrespect in the other person, which eventually causes mental disturbance and a crack in the relationship. The feeling of jealousy may also result in the downfall of your career and life.

On the other hand, true love is selfless and its basic element is trust. When you are in love, you value the desires of the person whom you love more than yours. This eventually becomes a source of support and motivation, which helps your lover to be successful in achieving his goals. It also builds up a sense of respect for each other and mutual trust. When there is complete trust and selflessness, the relationship becomes stronger.

Infatuation fades day by day while love is strengthened by time. Love makes you interested in the other person. It seeks to offer than to obtain. Love always looks out for the betterment of the other person. Infatuation is weakened by separation, while love becomes more powerful upon separation. But this doesn’t mean that you are not hurt when you are separated from the person whom you love. When in love, the feelings for your love are intensified when separated and this is how it becomes more powerful.

It is not that infatuation is a totally bad phase of life. It can serve as the first step towards love and may even bless you with a relationship of a lifetime. Who knows, the guy you were infatuated by may turn out to be your better half later?
