Do not confuse love with infatuation. It is a terribly big mistake made by a lot of people. How do you clarify whether it's love or infatuation? Infatuation is when this person is on your mind 24/7, you go to extremities to be around this person, to please this person, to make yourself noticed by this person. It is basically when your whole world revolves around this person, and you've become so deluded that you can't even see what's really there, all you see is this person. They say love is blind, but in all honesty, it is infatuation that has no eyes. You are so hypnotised by this person, that you can't even get in touch with reality. Even if your friends are screaming, you don't listen, not because you cant hear them, but because you don't want to hear them. Even if what they are saying is true, and are only trying to spare you the pain, you refuse to accept this as an effort to keep your pride and integrity free of rejection.
