Have you ever wondered about the different ways we express and perceive love? Or what the secret is to a long and happy romantic relationship? In this video, we'd like to talk about a little theory known as the Color Wheel Theory of Love. Also sometimes known as Lees (1977) love styles or love attitudes, this theory proposes that people love in different ways, which can be categorized into six broad styles of love. These love styles not only characterize our relationship with others but also how we feel and act towards our romantic partners. Here are the six different love styles and how you can better understand yours. We also made a video on how your childhood affects your love style

I totally relate to Eros, but as soon as Mania came up i started having an internal struggle to sway off the thoughts that i am sometimes quite emotionally attached, and i can get easily hurt sometimes, even by the smallest of things, and that's of course something i want to slowly overcome.
But as far as Eros goes, Agape was the one that really rang a bell to my soul, i tend to prioritize my partner way more than i do myself, and when i feel like it isn't reciprocal, the Mania part grabs my feet and makes me trip on my own feelings, and i tend to stay down until i can reassure myself that it was just an isolate incident, and that my partner still loves me, its kind of a pain! hahah.
But yeah, i hope i can better myself bit by bit everyday, and make sure that both me and my partner are as happy as possible!

my love style is a mix of storge and agape, however i now identify as aroace and do not care for romantic relationships. my ex's love style was mania and it just kinda made me feel horrible since i couldn't hang out with any of my friends even though i talked to him all day everyday, ruining my sleep schedule for him and getting terrible habits. i made things for him, spent time with him and did everything i could to help him, but i never really got anything from it. there were times where he wouldn't let me talk to certain people because he was scared i'd cheat on him with them. but now that i'm no longer in that relationship i've been doing a lot better! my sleep is getting back on track (on the days where it's important) and i feel a lot more freedom then i used to.
sorry for the emotional dump

Thank you again for this insightful video. Personally, I recognized myself in the last three categories of love. First, I'm more into platonic love (Storge, followed by practical love (Pragma) and, finally, selfless love (Agape. Probably, the first three ones are too much for me! (lol) I've always have a quiet, intellectual, shy and introverted personality. So, that could explain, at least partially, my three dominant styles of love. In my conception of love, love is a version of friendship carried to a higher degree. I know very well that it could easily sound boring and that doesnt make strong children, as they say. But, that's the way I am!

But what if Your love is towards a friend who can't be ever lovers but you okay with that and in the same time the other person is being gone through a lot and you as well and at the beginning she was the most caring person ever and now she do care but she gives you the feeling that she not and you trying so hard not to let her go and you always trying to convince your self that you are not tired of trying and she also trying so hard but she have way to many on her shoulder and also me and I can't stand the idea that if I get tired she won't come for me it terrifying me

. I can be all at different times. like every partner I have I can be Eros the first week, Agape the second, Mania the third, Storge the fourth, Pragma the fifth, and if they aren't in my standards, Ludus at the end.
Sometimes is more than a week, sometimes are two weeks, sometimes Ludus is at the same time as Eros, and because of Mania and Pragma I don't have a healthy relationship for more than at least one month. dammit
(Plus: I have personality issues that make it worse)

I think i honestly used to be eros and agape, but now i think it's more so shifting to pragma and agape. I currently have a crush, and it feels way different than crushes I've had before that hit like a freight train. This one feels soft and more practical. Thinking on it, my last two previous crushes could've been leaning more into mania than eros. I have been confused on why my current crush feels so different, but this may explain it.
reply

personally i think my style of love is a combination of 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6; i fully respect the decision of my lovers, but i also expect them to reciprocate my feelings all the way, while i am not too pushy or controlling i am very needy, protective, clingy and attached to the persons i romantically love, with me expecting full trust and honesty on both sides and putting my lovers beyond both pretty much everyone else and beyond myself
reply

I find myself a mixture of pretty much all these love styles but I most relate to Agape because me and my significant other are both making sure the other is comfortable or okay. I tend to over look my own feelings and focus more on my partner's but they also understand that and try to make me feel better in turn. We also decided to get to know eachother first before starting anything serious so we were friends before hand.
reply

I am a mix of Eros and Mania when it comes to relationships, I loove to love and show all that love to the other person, but I can be quite needy, always worrying it the other person really loves me or not, I can get really euphoric and really sad, I don't get jealous tho, just sad. But in a day to day bases, I am Agape loving, I like to see the smile on other for those gestures of kindness I do, make the world a happier place
reply

I think platonic lovers are the ones that suffer the most, being one myself we take our time growing a relationship being friends and most of the time when love comes to said friend we cannot confess our feelings because of the fear of losing a important friend and thats even worse when the friend grows closer to your family making you judge even more the act of confessing
reply

I'm a mix of Eros (physical, mental) Ludus (Gameplay) and Agape (Caring for others that's not my partner, but I focus on my partner just a little more than to the public)
I'm a jack-of-all-trades type of guy.

I am kinda mixed up with storge and Agape Also our relationship started In 1st grade and my girlfriend was in kindergarten and when I when into 2nd grade and my girlfriend when into 1st grade we were a little separated but I still get to see her! I hope even in 3rd grade Ill still get to see her!
reply

I definitely seem to fit Storge the most. I feel like I'm an extreme version though because I never want to risk loosing a friend even with the slightest possibility of a love interest. At this point I don't even feel like I'm emotionally there for having a love interest.
reply

Hey the book openly straight talks about this, yall should go read it, its about a gay kid from a liberal city that decides to go to a boarding school in Massachusetts to be a normal popular straight guy for a chance, its really well executed, 10/10 would recommend
reply

I learned about these in communications class and we took a quiz. When the teacher asked about our types I raised my hand over-enthusiastically and looked my crush in class and no one else raised their hand and I felt very awkward lol!
reply

I say I'm more of an ''Eros'' with a mix of ''Agape'' and a small bit of ''Mania'' (just the codependency and constant reassurance issues) I'd say I could possibly even be just the mix of the two if I continue to improve myself.
reply

Never actually been in love, but with the closest people to me now (friends, I'm Agape, and I feel like the closest I could get is a mix of that and Storge with a bit of Mania sprinkled in from Anxiety-related past experiences
reply

I like making things for my crush, and getting them dark chocolate (its their favourite) I just love seeing them smile, and I like how happy they get if I give them something
reply

I feel like everyone may have a unique mix of multiple of these. At least about me I am pretty sure I only fall into one of these categories. Everyone is unique and special.
reply

I think you misunderstood the Greek loves. They're supposed to be forms of love that one can experience. They're not love styles. Those would be the love languages.
reply

I seem like a mania lover. I get extreme lows without my partner constantly worried Ill be left out or forgotten. constantly worrying if Im bothering my partner
reply

Definitely the platonic love with gradually and slowly getting together with someone and wanting a deep understanding is me lol described me to a tee
reply

I have a mix of eros, storge and agape with a fine touch of mania. I would like to recieve agape type love. Thank you, this clarified a lot.
reply

I am a mix of Mani, agape and Eros, which is actually what I was expecting and I even learned something more about how I am towards people
reply

i watched all 5 types and was like: uh why can't i really relate to any of these? do i not have a type? THEN AGAPE SHOWED UP YESSS!
