The Truth Behind Loving and Missing Someone

Missing someone is an inner confirmation that the person has truly had an impact on your life and that you feel their absence. When you’re missing someone, you’re generating a feeling of continuity. If you start missing someone only when you feel sad or alone, it might not be true love at all, but rather a coping mechanism through which you long to feel close to another person.

However, if you truly love someone, you’re going to miss them no matter what. Even when you’re having fun with other groups of people, you’ll still be longing for that special someone. Whenever we remember someone we love, our dopamine levels fluctuate and either bring us happiness or sadness. It all depends on the context. If you know you’re going to see that person soon, you’ll have high dopamine levels, thus experiencing happiness. But if that person has passed away, your dopamine levels will drop and you’ll experience immense sadness.

Even from a young age, connecting with someone is second nature. It’s instinct. At first, it is instinctive, as in the case of a baby with her mother and then, as rationality develops, we are aware of our actions, and we establish stronger bonds. But although these connections are somewhat based on rationality down the line, love is powerful and sometimes we might irrationally love someone even if they affect us negatively. However, we must not be discouraged to love and miss another person just because a previous one had done us wrong.

If you miss someone who deserves to be missed, don’t be afraid to tell them so. So, keeping a strong connection with someone even if they are miles away is important. And when you finally get to see each other again, that bond will be all that more powerful.
