Instead of saying love is a racket; perhaps we should consider substituting the ‘love’ with ‘life’, for it is a two ways relationship in almost everything we do, be it communicating, handling problems and many more. We expect people to be listening when we speak, to respond to our talking, to know when to remain quiet and when not to, to know our limits and theirs; dozens of expectations, based on one particular theory, which is to respond. We stay by one’s side, not making much noise while listening to the grumbles one has to say; we start laughing after being influenced by the laughter around, as it is rather contagious; we tend to be emotional when someone close is doing the same; we may even join forces with one particular person when it comes to raising our opinions among the crowd; all kinds of responses, all kinds of views, with all kinds of attitudes recorded down the slip of life. We tend to feel insecure when there is no response from the others, as if we are being left alone, where no one cares about us, willing to talk to us, communicate with us. Imagine the times where we get pissed off after dozens of times repeating the same old topic and nobody seems to be listening, where we walk out of the crowd when they look as if they are enjoying themselves without us, where we sometimes feel lonely after the people around stop comforting us like they used to be, where we no longer receive the response. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why certain people talk to themselves instead of the others, to get rid of the insecurity in them after not receiving any responses?
