7 Differences Between Love and Being In Love

What’s the difference between love and being in love? Which would you rather hear someone say to you: “I love you” or “I’m in love with you”? While most people don’t realize it, loving someone and being in love with them can actually mean two very different things, especially in the world of psychology. Being in love is often associated with the early stages of a romantic relationship when things are still new and exciting. On the other hand, love is something that tends to naturally develop over time when there is friendship, 理解, and acceptance from another person. Do you want to know more on how to differentiate the two? Are you unsure if you’re in love with someone or you just love them or vice versa? 如果是這樣的話, 這個視頻是給你的!
