I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death. I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse.

Did I seriously have to find this video after going through infatuation, compassionate love, and heartbreak? This would have been really helpful back in February when we first confessed feelings for each other. But even though the heartbreak hurt so much, I would do it all over again.

Why was I actually invested in their story

I had a whirlwind relationship with a girl. It was as passionate as humanly possible. We shunned the rest of the world as we loved and quarreled. Family included. We broke up after 2 years. it was excruciating to be without her, but a blanket of toxic selfishness coated our once loving relationship. 5 years later. I met her on a chance encounter and it was an absolute whirlwind like before.Because of the sins of the past, It was more challenging this time around, but we managed to pull through. Our time apart made me realize that I have always loved her. Even when we were apart, i still loved her. Selfishness just got in the way. I just Hope that everyone gets the same chance as we did.

stages of falling in love: 1. infatuation/passionate love (excessively daydreaming about someone and wanting to spend more time with them - and last for a few months) 2. attachment/ compassionate love (start to observe and know the downfalls of our partner and cope with them or against them)

The animation and story board were so cool! I loved his journal entries tho it made me sad when they broke up :'(

I really love how Ted Ed used a timeline in the video. Makes it more investing.

I can’t thank you guys enough for this beautiful animation. It’s helping me figure myself out and how I love the people around me by explaining things in a rational way. It’s a thousand times better than someone saying, “oh, you’ll know when you’re in love”, because I don’t know if it’s that or not.

When I watched this video, I saw hope and the brighter future for anybody who belongs to my community

Omg, I love the way you build up this video's characters. The animation is so cute!

i love this animation so much. And i love that at the end of rollercoaster ride, which represents his experience and journey of love, his partner wasn’t there anymore on the ride, instead of looking very depressed, he looks back and smile. As if he has learned and move on. Knowing he’ll be okay

I remember when my girlfriend and I first broke up, it was especially painful because it wasn't out of an argument but rather because she was afraid her parents would disapprove of it. At least now I'm glad it happened, like developing immunity to an illness.

@zarifmoonwar6949

Mine was also not out of an argument , We broke up happily , but afterwards it had hurt me so much

Worthy to mention, though, that falling in love is all that chemical activity right before the attachment level of a relationship, and that the attachment level, if successfully passed, is the indication of true love (not just falling in love). This has a lot to do with how the definition of love has been getting ambiguated, specially through the western culture.

@ohbruhwhat

i honestly agree. the infatuation stage is really just your brain in need of that dopamine(not saying that it is 100% of the time) However, once you get into that stage and you learn about their strengths, weaknesses, and what they truly are and STILL accepting them, you truly are in love.

I really agree with this. It's frustrating that culturally we aren't more specific about distinguishing falling in love VS true love/compassionate love. Especially for young kids who are just starting to experience these emotions, we aren't giving them a good framework to interpret how they are feeling. To them a swashbuckling romance is true love despite the fact it could be (and often is) toxic.

There are all kinds of love in this world but never the same love twice ~ F.Scott Fitzgerald

I realized a month ago that the reason why I couldn't establish any romantic relationship since I broke up with my first and last relationship in 2015 was because I have already fallen for a good friend back in 2014. However, due to a lot of personal reasons, I could not confess my feelings. Fast forward to 2023, after an unexpected incident, I finally realized and accepted that the reason I could not seem to find the one for me is because I have already found her, but the realization came too late. She has been in a healthy relationship for almost 4 years. I'm experiencing all 3 stages, but mainly the 1st and 3rd, at the same time. It's heartbreaking to live through regret.

Last year I went not through my first, but my worst heartbreak so far. Now this video was recommended as I am falling for someone new again. I hope that I have learned from my past experiences and that this time it won't devastate me as much, but whatever comes, I will be enjoying my infatuation for as long as it lasts.

I love how beautifully this is put, social and visual media really makes love a confusing thing where ur not sure whether what u have is love or not, in the end i feel, its the intensity of the heartbreak that tells.

The animation was absolutely calming. Loved everything about the video

This is not enough I need a whole series with these two OCs!!

I watched this video when everything just started and now I'm watching it again with tears in my eyes

A story telling masterpiece.

I dated a girl and obviously didn't go well. Soon after, she found a new boy, my friend, who was infinitely better than me I basically just listened to a band I liked (Keane) because most of their songs are breakup songs. Then one day, I woke up, heard a song titled 'Watch How You Go', and it made me open my eyes that at least I wish her well in her life with her new boyfriend, and I don't care anymore, I moved on. I sent the song to her, and said thank you. I don't think she understands what I meant though.

I feel like the main reason why people can only have relationships that last only a few months is that they crave that addictive feeling of being in love and when that feeling fades, they feel like they lost interest in their partner. This causes people to have problems maintaining long-term relationships because they need to feel "high off of love"

Great animation and story telling, as always

What a beautiful description

Thank you, this is just the video I needed. It's been 3 weeks since the most amazing love I've ever known came to an end because my partner wanted to break up. I don't think she doesn't love me anymore, I think adulthood is hard and past trauma is difficult to overcome. But understanding it doesn't make it painless. I think about her often, and passionately. I wish everyone in the same situation a lot of strength. I know you need it, friend.
