I think there are fundamental differences between people who haven’t/couldn’t feel this way and those who have/can.
I don’t think this much emotion is unhealthy for everyone, or that it means you’re just projecting a damaging fantasy onto the other person. Most people are far, far more emotional than I, and some are 100x so. That doesn’t mean I’m better than them (being emotionally detached to the degree I am can have a negative impact on relationships for sure), and I don’t think I’m any worse. Natural human differences. I’m a textbook INTJ.
No. Mercifully, I am not wired that way. I’ve felt intense attraction to several women in my life including my now wife, but if it didn’t work out, I picked myself up and moved on without too much heartbreak or trouble.
Having been there, and knowing all of her faults to a tee well before it ever ended, I disagree.
Some people think every person is “the one.” Some people are unable to ever think anyone is “the one.” Some people are healthy, well-adjusted, perfectly normal people who just so happen to meet someone that throws their world for a loop in deeply meaningful ways, whether it was for a day or a year or a lifetime.
Some people just “click.” Doesn’t mean they don’t fight, don’t argue, don’t even grow to hate the other… but there’s always something there, moreso than with anyone else you’ve ever met, or ever will meet.
