I believe in true love, but it's easy to mistake other things for it, and you have to know how to cultivate it. Some people learn how to do that at home, I guess, but I didn't.

I just got to the scene in Westworld where Felix meets Maeve and it's one of the most beautiful and intimate things I've ever seen, much more than stereotypical "love scenes". The way they immediately know each others' secrets so there is no point in lying, and the way he immediately confesses everything to her without trying to stall or dissuade or bullshit her. The nonsexual nudity and touching, the way he immediately accepts her as a person instead of an object.
I don't know what happens next but I think a lot of the humans will turn out to be simulants who don't know it. I'm only on episode 4 or 5.
Be your own soulmate. Seriously. It feels so much better. Make your life an orgy of gluttonous self-love, with no guilt.
Smoking pot helps. For me anyway.

I used to think that true love means unconditional one. At least I'm not capable of doing this to myself.
No matter what you do at the end if you want a real partner it take compromises and actions from both sides, all the time. The easy and romantic love in books and movies might be real for some short periods of time, if you let yourself fall into the illusion. At the end it's all a fiction, that most of us want to accept and believe in.

Westworld does have some... nonstandard views on interpersonal relationships (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here). I love how it manages to make the stereotypical seem authentic, especially later on.

Yes I believe there is true love between a guy and a girl. But I have not yet experienced this experience, I only fell in love a few times, in a fleeting way. I truly love my dog, she is everything to me. I think is similar between people.

I'm at a loss. One side of mine says all love is vanity, the other says there are people out there who truly care. I'm inclined to say I almost believe in love but I can't really remember what it means anymore... Maybe I'm just being blue and bitter.
I think true love can exist, though that's only a theory since I've never had it due (primarily) to disabling social phobia. Of course, that's the same reason that I've never had a job in the last quarter century though in theory I do indeed believe that careers are a real thing that actually exist in an objective reality.

Twin flame/soulmate? I can't think of anyone but myself really. I care about myself - me too. I experience the same thoughts and feelings I do.
We share the same values, bodies, friends and foes. I mean, who is better fit for you other than yourself? Who deserves more of your love other than yourself?

I can confirm that the twin soul concept exists. I've experienced it but only for a short period unfortunately. He's exactly like me it's unbelievable but he's scared of getting close so he left. I'm still hoping he comes back to me. I miss him so much. I felt so happy talking to him, I can still remember it.

No, there is no soul mate for anyone. I think it's quite possible to love people, yourself and others, in fact I consider ctb an act of love for myself. I think there's a lot of parents that love their kids, people that love their siblings, and sometimes husbands and wives love each other.
Unfortunately it's nigh impossible to know whether or not the people in your life love you or if it's simply a calculated set of behaviors to allow them to extract resources from you, either financially, emotionally, or otherwise.

So much this... I don't know how to describe self-love in this context... maybe as a deep, affectionate concern for personal well-being, contentment and alleviation of suffering... wanting peace... I've never seen this stated much often even here compared to how much sense it makes to me.
I think the most important is to love ourselves... because we directly benefit from our love. Its conditional but that condition is always met... It's not always met with interpersonal love.

I believe in true love. The problem is I always fall in love for the wrong person and nowadays I think everyone is this person in potencial, nobody loves me... nobody ever will... and its all my fault because I am a fucked person.
I do believe in love and fell in love once (and he was in love with me too), however when it ended the heartbreak almost ruined me.
I can't do the notion of love anymore.

I can't say I believe in any after life/god/religion.
But when I was a young girl, 7-8? I had a dream that I met a friend. I called out to my friend by name, but he said 'no, that's not my name, my name is x. I'm your husband, I'm ginger and 3 years older than you. I'll see you soon'
Never thought much of it. People have crazy dreams right? But i never forgot it.
I remember the first night I met my husband. We'd chatted online and were now meeting face to face for the first time.
There he was.
Just this great big shock of ginger hair in the darkness. He was 25. I was 22.
'person?!' he shouted out to me, 'it's me! X!'
And I felt like I'd heard his voice before. When I saw him, it was like my soul was screaming 'there you are!! Finally!'
He hugged me, in the middle of the street. I'd lied to my friends about where I was. If I'd told them I was going to meet a man in the middle of the night off the Internet they'd have freaked.
I'm a petite person, but my husband was huge. Built like a brick shit house and 6'2.
This giant man, with a big ginger beard.
But I didn't feel frightened. I felt so safe when he came up to me that night.
A few weeks later we were in my flat. He was sat on my sofa, I was humming and cooking in the kitchen. He came out to me and he said 'person, I remember this. I remember you. We've done this before'
After he died, I went to see a medium. She told me X and I had always been together, and in one life, he was a viking and I was his queen.
He always used to call me Queen.
You could call it coincidence, chance, luck. I'm not saying I believe the medium. I don't know what I think.
But I know I died when he did. But my body keeps moving. So yes. I do believe in true love and I do believe in soul mates because I had to cremate mine.

Yes. But most people get it wrong. It's a choice to respect and elevate someone, not some warm and fuzzy feeling within your own thoughts. Anyone can think things about another person/cat/whatever, acting on them to make that life better is true love.

I like to believe in the soul mate but people once keep telling me one needs to have a soul in order to mate so honestly I don't know. I like the idea of it though and the mentality and reality I once believed that I had a soul mate not sure anymore though.
No. I used to but not anymore. Being used, abused, cheated on and disgarded changes a person.

Yes, but I also believe that it is rare. As far as "The One" Hollywood trope, no that's total bullshit.
I did at one time...now that I am getting a divorce...I don't believe in love.
