What does LOVE-R (Romantic) mean?

There is too much love in me for ordinary life.

LOVE-R (Romantic)
Type overview
There is too much love in me for ordinary life.
LOVE-R is what happens when a person keeps their emotional range in full color while everyone else downgrades to grayscale. A falling leaf is never just a leaf to you. It is a whole private opera about endings, devotion, and timing. You are not dramatic because you want attention. You are dramatic because your internal weather is genuinely that rich. You want a bond that feels larger than routine life.
