What’s the difference between love and infatuation? We often hear these two terms used interchangeably, but they’re not quite the same. Love tends to be deeper and more lasting, while infatuation is often intense but fleeting. How does your own sense of self affect how and when you feel these feelings? Or whether you feel one over the other? Let’s dive into how these two experiences influence our mental and emotional well-being, and how they might shape the way we see our partners or our crushes.
Why do we sometimes put our partners or crushes on a pedestal or have unrealistic expectations of them? This can be a key element of infatuation, where we might idealize someone, expecting them to be perfect. But how does this affect our connections and our self-esteem? Join us as we explore the fine line between love and infatuation, and share experiences to better understand these complex emotions.
