Love is not something that they can touch or to other it's how they are affected mentally. The author of  Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become, Barbara Fredrickson gives us another way to view the word love and how it affects us as human beings. Instead of looking at love as a noun but start to look at it as a verb, due to love constantly changing. Fredrickson understanding of love takes a different approach than other by looking at the biochemical aspect of our body band and how it is “designed to love”. Her belief is to look at it from the body’s definition of

Attachment style is something that becomes a part of one’s personality but a lot of people do not know their own attachment style. Attachment style affects everything from selecting a partner, to the quality of the relationship, and how the relationship ends, which is why it is important to determine one’s attachment style so as to understand one’s strengths and weaknesses in a relationship. The attachment style which is carried from childhood continues to affect future adult romantic relationships, often it can be changed especially when one enters a romantic

Long after the relationship is over, events, people, places, songs, or other external cues associated with the abandoning partner can trigger memories. This often sparks a new round of craving, intrusive thinking, compulsive calling, writing, or showing up—all in hopes of rekindling the romance. Being in a relationship that is floundering can be like having a pain in the neck or an aggravating headache, which result in losing ourselves. The capacity for creative living gets sapped as we instead focus on our pain. We become driven to find relief from that pain, seeking quick fixes in the form of substances, people, and other extremities to where attachment is made like in Romeo and Juliet where there love was so strong, they could not bare to go without each other and killed themselves for

S. Lewis mentioned was: Storge the affection part of love. C.S. Lewis described that affection is the love that a parent has towards their children or children showing affection to their parents (pg.53). Affection was shown throughout the years as babies from our parents, and as our parents get older it’s the children’s turn to show the affection they gave us. My parents are not the type that show affection like with hugs or words, me and my sister get their affection by just having their presence there with us every day. Even though they do not tell us in person that they love us, we have heard it before from them and/or read that they do from like birthday letters. I guess every person shows different types of affection to their loved ones. Some parents tell you they love you every day and some do not, but do something else that you know that they love

Ishmael has accept the fact that the war has ruined his enjoyment of meeting new people. Because of him going into villages and being chased out because they believed he was a rebel, Or having to go through other villages because he knew nobody there and he knew what was coming to their village and he did not want to stay had ruined the experience for him until later on in his life. Ishmael's experiences force him to deny his emotional side in order to survive. His flight from RUF attacks on the various villages in Sierra Leone requires him to let go of attachments to family and friends. Although he holds out hope to see his family, he has no choice but to close off himself to the world. Emotional attachment can be weakness, and weakness can

Catron succeeded in engaging a large audience since her article has been viewed over eight million times. Her experience with the study and the following love story is by that well-known.

Romantic relationships are influenced by a majority of effects throughout life. Growing up your family history, communication and peer relationships form the skills on how you are gong to react as an adult.

Ainsworth’s descriptions of attachment were found to be related to relationship development. Specifically, adults with avoidant tendencies tend to be relatively uninterested in romantic relationships, have a higher breakup rate than secure adults (Shaver & Brennan, 1992), and grieve less after a breakup (Simpson, 1990). Anxious adults are obsessed with their romantic partners and form extreme jealousy (Collins, 1996; Hazan & Shaver, 1987). Relationships with a partner who has an anxious attachment have a higher rate for breakups as well. However, those with a secure attachment style are highly invested in their relationships and tend to have long, stable ones that involve friendship, trust, and positivity (Hazan & Shaver,

Learning about a person is like reading a book. Each page tells bit by bit about who they are and what they become. As the chapters roll by, deciding whether or not to continue reading becomes unfavorable, especially when remarkably much time has been wasted in getting to know them. Anthony Tes was the longest book I have ever read. I encountered him five years ago and if I had known that by simply accepting his friend request on Facebook would result to a toxic, abusive, 18 month relationship formerly I would have never gotten involved.

The attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth is an essential key that explains many child-parent relationships and the influence it has on development. Attachment is a process that begins during infancy in an individual’s life and can have long lasting effects. Bowlby’s theory concluded that the bonds formed between a caregiver and a child during the early years were the blueprints for future relationships. Ainsworth’s “strange situation” experiments and numerous studies tested Bowlby’s original theory and expanded on it. This paper will provide an overview on the research that has been conducted on the effects of attachment patterns on an individual’s early and later development.
