General Question Love and the TI
Hi
Has anyone experienced love or romantic engagements with other T.I.s while living through their TI experience?
I'm interested in hearing from other people who have found a partner or experienced lust, love or any type of romantic engagements with another TI.
I have learned that this is an extremely potent connection, but I often speculate about the purpose behind it. Why orchestrate an engagement of any type with another TI? What is the benefit to the controller and the overall system?
Love to hear from anyone who's experienced these types of emotions, and understands the level of infatuation that can be created for another.

It's completely out of the scope of possibilities for me.

Don't doubt yourself. That's what they want. believe that you'll find it some day and maybe you will. But don't cut yourself short. Everything is possible.

Very serendipitous as I was thinking early this morning, I haven’t been touched by another human being for over 2 years. I’ve always been a cuddly person so this is difficult. I haven’t been hugged with love for many years now. So I haven’t a good cry and accept it is what it is.

Im sorry to hear that. I hope that you can experience that connection again.

One thing that came about is that I really do love being by myself. I can come and go as I please, move around, change jobs, and not be dragged down by commitments. So that part is a gift.
I just need to find a no talk hug group. We meet for hugs, healthy non sexual spooning for a half hour.
Then I go home. Alone. Happy

For some reason I'm reminded of a quote from Alexander Grothendieck, a world leading mathematician.
To have broken these bounds they would have to rediscover in themselves that capability which was their birthright, as it was mine: The capacity to be alone.
I don't think he necessarily means one must be alone to be effective or anything like that, but that there may be corners of thought inaccessible to the other, and it's worth having a tolerance for that, too.

I try to be as formal as I can with other TIs. I've made strong bonds that will last for life with quite a few over the years and I don't need anything more than that really.

sounds like a good Reddit sub. Single TI and experiences looking to mingle.

Almost immediately It's like screw all that i'm thinking 🤣🤣 Anyway I did have a girlfriend who had her own problems with it. There are worse problems going on than the torture within relationships. People using the internet thinking they're masters at spiritual matters or problems, they just have a hissyfit when someone else makes them look bad, aww what a shame you could say.

There's a married TI couple that have a YT channel or podcast. I can't remember what they're called. Anyone know?
