yeah I do, I was joking around, playing with words, and yet, stating a realization, about myself, thought maybe you'd enjoy, it's Friday....and I'm happy....sorry.

In my belief system we are created to have a relationship with our creator, who is love incarnate. If we choose to accept that love then we will never live without love.

Even in relationships we often feel lonely and unloved. I chose to not pursue a relationship for 15 years to raise my kids. Yeah, right, they loved me. (frickin' teenage boys ) j/k but they were a challenge.

I never felt alone or unloved because I strengthened that eternal relationship. That's what I focused on. Helped me a lot.

Even if they didn't love you, you loved them; I'm talking about a state of neither receiving nor giving love. Can't seem to convey this.

a state of neither giving or receiving love, is a state of consciousness...maybe?
Is that what your looking for? I don't need a love in my life anymore....to feel complete, to feel loved, to feel safe, or feel successful....I am all that....

I'm soooo curious what you are talking about?

A spiritual love for oneself?

I'm really getting the "this post doesn't even apply to me; I'm just here to gloat about my wonderful life" vibe from you. I hope I'm mistaken about that.

Surely people with an interest in the field of PSYCHOLOGY know what I mean by the term "love object" as used by Freud. All others can Google.

Instead of asking us to google, why not give us short synopsis of the Love Object by Freud

Our happiness is completed on us except for those suffering from psychological or clinical depression. You come across people who seem complete loner but full of life and excitement. At same time you see folks surrounded by large family and friends network but still feeling lonely and sad. Abusive relationships, financial responsibilities, toxic partners, sexless marriages, spoiled kids, major sickness in family or terrible separations can cause more stress and sadness than being alone sometimes.
