THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE

AGAPE is the love of humanity and of selfless giving, sometimes rooted in spirituality.

EROS is a  romantic love that includes some physical pleasure.

LUDUS is a flirty and playful love which may remain that way or move towards EROS.

MANIA is a Obsession or Possessive love that may be rooted in survival instinct but can overwhelm you or the person you feel it for.

PHILIA is affection you feel for friends or family members - sans romantic inclinations.

PHILAUTIA is a healthy self love in which you respect your own needs.

PRAGMA is the love you develop over time such as in some arranged marriages.

STORGE is the love you feel for your parents or, sentimentally, with old friends or lovers.


Thank You Ancient Greeks!
