KINDS OF LOVE

I. Agape — Unconditional Love


First, we have agape love.
This is an altruistic, selfless, unconditional love.
II. Eros — Romanic Love
Eros is named after the Greek god of love and fertility.
Therefore, it is usually associated with romantic, passionate,
and physical love. It is an expression of sexual passion and
desire.
III. Philautia — Self-love
Philautia is self-love. most people associate self-love with being
narcissistic, selfish, or stuck on themselves. Another way to look
at self-love is by thinking about it as self-compassion. Just as
you might show affection and love to another person, you must
also show that same affection and love to yourself.
IV. Storge — Familiar Love
Storge can be defined as “familiar love.” This type of love looks
and feels a lot like philia – affectionate love felt between
friends. However, this love is more like a parent-child love.
V. Pragma — Enduring Love
This type of love doesn’t require a lot of effort in a relationship.
Both people are good at making compromises, and each of
them puts in equal efforts to make the other person happy.
VI. Philia — Affectionate Love
The Greeks defined this kind of love as “affectionate love.” In
other words, it is the kind of love that you feel for your friends
VII. Ludus — Playful Love
Ludus is known as the “playful love.” However, a better way to
describe it is the feeling of infatuation in the early days of
romance. If you’ve been in love before, you know what I’m
talking about.
VIII. Mania — Obsessive Love
Mania is not necessarily a good type of love, because it is
obsessive. It’s the type of love that can lead someone into
madness, jealousy, or even anger.
