Limerence and Loneliness

Limerence, experienced by both the narcissist and their partner, is not love and may not even be prerequisite for love. It is more of a middle school crush kind of thing only involving the neuro-chemicals of the brain and even peptide addiction. Loneliness is something many of us who are codependent or have problematic  attachment styles or abandonment issues fear worse than death. It is a "howling wilderness" that screams to be comforted.It helps to understand both iso you can move toward healthy emotional connections with yourself and others.
