Not necessarily romantic love, but love between friends or someone who is like a sibling. I'm a lesbian, they are a gay couple. I have strong platonic feelings for them that I've never had for a non-family member. I love them like brothers, but have different feelings about them than my own brother. I don't know what this is, or if it's healthy or not. I feel like I should keep my emotions in check, rather than just allowing the feelings to happen because I'm afraid that it will all come crashing down on me and I will be disappointed if it turns out to not be a healthy kind of love.
How do I know if a love is healthy or unhealthy?

To clarify: I'm afraid this is some kind of weird obsession, or I could just be socially maladjusted and not know that this is what friendships are like. I was not properly socialized growing up, so this is new territory for me. I don't know if I need to reign in my emotions, or enjoy the ride.
He is right, also you know when you have butterfiles and feel all warm and fuzzy? Thats your brain producing Dopamine; but vise versa angry and stress kill more people than drugs, cancer, car accidents, etc. It puts stress on your organs, and you brain, causing negative impulsies in the brain. And thats not negitive love, thats just hate; it sounds more like a "love" addiction, which we commonly see in our youth, tv, media, etc. Most likely from bad parenting or abuse, also the longing for human connection, in anyway they can; which can result in abuse, injury, addiction, substance abuse, and sex addiction. You know that song "Love Is My Drug" well even though that might be a bad example, the title is very spot on. They urge for human acceptance and lust, can make people do weird things, some good, some bad. Thanks for the question, hope I helped.
