Most people often mistake love for different feelings. The worst thing to do in life is falling for someone without realising you confused your feelings with true love. Relationships that are not based on true love rarely last. Here are four feelings you might mistake for love that actually aren't.
1. Meta-lust
Meta-lust is a situation in which someone you felt attracted to ends up disappointing you by taking away your happiness. It is a situation where you feel you will become a better person if you connect with your partner. However, this rarely happens because you end up regretting what you did in the past.
2. Shadow side attachment
It is common to hear stories of ladies who have dumped their good men only to date players or bad boys. This kind of attraction pushes one to break the rules by exploring their dark side. It involves being attracted to something one does and not their real self.
3. IFD syndrome
Some people fear being alone. They go around looking for someone just to be with them. When a person who only wants someone to keep him or her company hits on you, then you are in this kind of attraction.
4. Fatal attraction
This is the kind of attraction where you feel out of control. It can be equated to obsession. People with this feeling rarely understand what made them fall in love. Most people who are in this kind of relationship never experience true happiness.
