"Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable."
-Joyce Brothers
Relation
This means that love occurs in a relationship when you can finally be yourself and not be manipulated. You don't have to care what the other person thinks about you, because you are comfortable around them and you can just be yourself. As mentioned in the quote, when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you, you are no longer being manipulated by them. You can stop being something that you are not. This is a kind of manipulation, that is personal and isn't intentional manipulation. You can solve this manipulation and move on.
Joyce Brothers was born October 20th, 1927, in New York City, New York. In 1955, she became psychologist. She is an active advice columnist and writer and she is still alive today, at age 84.
This is an important concept because almost everybody goes through love and relationships in their live, so this can relate to everyone. Being able to not pretend to be something your not, and be yourself around someone is part of loving someone. When you are being something you are not, it is a form of manipulation, as you are being manipulated into being someone else to impress another person...
