People who think you can only truly love one person are just plain dreaming. That's just not how people actually are and how emotions are formed. You could psychologically convince yourself that you will always care about one specific person more than everyone else, but that is a voluntary choice.
And I also don't think it is possible to love absolutely no one for an entire life. Not unless you were isolated from people for your entire life or were simply locked in a closet and beaten by people your entire life. Love is almost second nature for people. Though this kind of depends on where you draw the line between attraction and love, but I really don't think it is possible for an ordinary person to go through their entire life without loving anyone. Our biological drives are just too strong.
Now if your biological drives were somehow defective in some way through a chemical imbalance or something, then I would say it could be possible. |
In this statement, are you referring to what might be described as "romantic" love, or love as a general concept?

Romantic love. I sincerely believe that people are that strongly drawn to the opposite sex, or members of the same sex if they are gay. Our biological drives are really that strong. You might not even be in a relationship your entire life and you could still fall in love with people.

I don't know. I think that a person could be conditioned to inherently avoid feelings of love due to negative relevant stimuli, perhaps in the interest of perceived self-preservation.
