Short Summary​

Key Quotes​

Here are five direct quotes from the YouTube transcript that I consider to be particularly insightful:

  1. "Limrance is this handy word for this thing that most people have experienced a little bit of and some people unfortunately have completely like lost their lost their happiness over."
  2. "I think infatuation is the right word. It's just that infatuation ends before it turns sick. And so you know limrance when it just gallops forward it's really like up on a level of heroin addiction."
  3. "And when you feel good and happy and you notice that, you know what, I'm I'm like getting better as a person. That's love. That's a good partnership. when you're starting to check out, when you're starting to go down, I've sort of defined this whole this downward ladder of stuff that happens to you, when it's taking over your brain and your life, you start avoiding people. You're not emotionally available. You can't love. So, it's really a different thing. And it feels like it's about the other person, but it's clearly not."
  4. "...that natural instinct to fall in love and have a mate is is just sitting there going along like an engine without the right person in front of it."
  5. "You've assured your failure privately by avoiding your failure publicly."
