10 Differences Between Being In Love and Being Attached To Someone

7Love is supportive; attachment is constrictive

When we love someone, their wishes and dreams become our own and we help them in every way possible so that they reach their goals. In attachment, such feelings never come up because people don’t really open up and try to remain in a box where they just don’t like interference from any person.

8Love is complex; attachment is easy

Lovers face all the hardships of life together. Their love for each other only makes them stronger. In attachment, people try to run away when they face a problem. They don’t feel the need to stay with each other in difficult times.

9Love is ego-reducing; attachment is ego-boosting

Love makes us less self-centered. We become much more loving and positive in life and all these changes are fuelled by that special someone. You are also able to share all your weaknesses and vulnerabilities, which helps you grow as a person.

But, attachments are based on ego and that is why most people tend to keep falling in unsatisfying relationships over and over again. You are not able to look within, to solve your problems and this makes you dependent on the other person.

10Love simply makes you happy!

Everything that you feel when you are in love makes you happy from within. You are content with your life because with them you are what you are. They embrace you with a love so deep that nothing can compare to that feeling and all you think about is how you can spend the rest of your life with them.

Whereas in an attachment, you are always doubtful whether they like you or not, whether they will be loyal or not and many such thoughts. You are just not sure about them either and such a feeling can never make a person claiming to be in a relationship happy. Love is supposed to make you feel magical, and you should not settle for anything less than that!
