Intersection of A & B:
Never propose here
hmmm….I’m not sure why the low-love end of B would have so much anxiety. Is it meant to be saying that when there’s little love and a lot of anxiety, the anxiety will be reciprocated?
I’m not so sure about the right end of B. I think about where A & B intersect is where B takes an upward turn.
I think the “unrequited” and “reciprocated” refer to the love, not the anxiety. I think basically, if you’re loving and not getting loved back, you’re going to get anxiety. If you love and get loved back, anxiety goes down.
Maybe? If that’s what it means, I think a Venn diagram would have expressed this better.

The reason why B has so much anxiety at the low-love end, I think, is because people start getting anxious when someone loves them but they can’t love them back?
The more reciprocated love (the more you love and the more you are loved back) the less the anxiety.
The more unrequited love (the more you love without being loved back) the more the anxiety
There’s so much truth in this. I know cuz I’ve been there. If all you do is love someone and they don’t love you back, you run around doing all of these great things for them but never receive any sign that you are doing the right things. Hence, your anxiety levels go through the roof. But man, when you know your feelings are lining up with someone else’s there is a comfort that can’t be rivaled.
I just to be B, now I’m A :(
El tiempo lo cura todo, dicen
Now she tells me.
By the time B has reached the far right he/she is primed to leave the relationship.
I agree with Brian to a point. The comfort of NEW love is unparalleled, but most times that comfort goes away and all that anxiety comes screaming back.
But I’m not bitter.
Let x = loves(a,b)
Let y = loves(b,a)
Anxiety ~= (1-x)y + x(1-y)
