    Do I read you right that you equate having many crushes and/or falling for ‘love at first sight’ with being a shallow idiot?

      Yes. Falling in “love” without knowing anything but the way someone looks is the epitome of shallow, and having multiple crushes over people you barely know isn’t exactly smart, is it?

        Even if you know it’s not smart, how do you control your feelings, then? You just feel attracted, you don’t choose.

          Feelings are affected by thought. Change your thoughts, change your feelings. Work on becoming internally secure, and you no longer have to cling to every scrap that blows by.

            This sounds very much like responses to depression along the lines of “have you tried just thinking positively?”
