Romantic love again
As you know this blog doesn’t discuss romantic love (the irresistible attraction between persons), the love section here talks about something else, however, I found a “humorous” piece about romantic love saying that there is some “madness in love” in it.
People in love are notorious for their unusual beliefs and, indeed, research has shown that we tend to hold unlikely and overly positive beliefs about our lovers.
Romance doesn’t even need a willing partner in some cases, as people who are diagnosed with de Clerambault’s syndrome hold the delusional belief that another person is in love with them, even if they’ve never met.
