> I want to understand my love for Bob. Is it a strange thing to love Dr. Bob?
maybe depends what you mean by 'strange'...
;-)
> Is there a precedent for it?yeah. if you go over to psychology and read about how some people think of their therapists...
you will find that it isn't so unusual to feel love for someone who you really don't know very much about...
though that is a little different because they see these people irl (i think there was some question as to whether transference could occur in online relationships - but then there was some question as to whether friendships could occur in online relaitonships too).
yeah so he isn't your therapist... but there is a sort of similarity... and with blocks and stuff... it brings stuff up i guess. not so unusual i don't think.
> It's strange, in real life I don't love people often, but here online I love just about everyone. :-)yeah. i'm reminded of something someone said. i think he was a writer... i can't remember who. he said he loved humanity but doesn't like very many people. i feel like that a lot too. in a way... online relationships are easier. you can come and babble online when you are in the mood. and simply not when you aren't in the mood. not so easy to do that irl. nope.
that being said... i wish people were awake.
> I just love feeling love. :-) It makes me so happy.:-)
