Aaaanywho, going back through the thread. I think that the painful kind of love mentioned in the op is real, ofc - but I probably wouldn't call it healthy or productive. I guess a person could be more or less quick to love that way, if at all. I think we probably wonder more whether such emotion or ideation is well founded in reality, rather than whether they do or don't exist. As an expression of compelling desire, it writes itself. That it would hurt to be without this, and that it can even hurt to be in it's presence. On the one hand a person may be apprehending the value of a thing, and on the other, their relative inadequacy for the same.
