Honestly I don't think so. If someone has a personality disordre such as Narsicism then perhaps, but not otherwise. They may feel as though they can't due to past hurts and such, but I don't believe that someone is simply unable to love. Unwilling to take the risk, maybe, but unable, no, I don't think so.
A complete answer would require a defintion of "love". I haven't heard a defintion that everyone can agree on. If you think you can't love (or feel what you think people mean by "love") then you will have to settle for caring, kindness, concern, consideration and trust. Or some combination of them. While they don't have the PR status of "love", they are fine emotions.
All RIGHT! That is one of the best things I've heard in a long while, and it makes my absolute day. It gives me back a lot of perspective ... Thank you.
assuming as in 'love' you mean a romantic relationship, i tihnk its very possible to not love. if you close yourself off from people and do not allow yourself to get close, then how could you possibly grow to know and love someone? however, i tihnk if your desire to love overrules your tendancy to close yourself off, and break down that wall youve built up, you can begin to love someone.
I think everyone has the capactiy to love. Some people just cut themselves off from it, some people just block ehtir emotions so thoroughly that they dont even realize theyre doing it.
I've known a few people (all of them men, all of them probably had aspergers) who were unable to show any emotions besides anger. Mostly they seemed to be just like Mr. Spock. Whether they had any emotion inside they were keeping bottled up, I don't know. again, yeah, that's entirely possible. If a person does not love themselves, they are incapable of loving others. But again, it really boils down to definition of the word "love" which is indefinable... and even those people probably believe that they do love others, even though I wouldn't call it "love"
