I think really any combination of what you mentioned plus the "ego" PopClick mentioned. That feeling of acceptance and love from someone, and not caring who it comes from.
I think a lot of people still subscribe to the old "If I can't have you, then no one can" attitude. Sad, really.

I agree, Bridget. I don't get that. If you really care about someone, you should want them to be happy.

The "if I can't have you, no one can" isn't about the person who is being pursued. It's about the pursuer. They feel rejected and angry that someone would actually not want them. It's an ego thing. How dare YOU not want ME? etc.

I think you'll find that many things that are destructive in nature are in some way rooted in selfishness and ego.

I agree. And that does not even come close to the selfless definition of love Paul gave us, does it?
