  1. SOCIAL EXPERIMENT TIME, PREPARE TO BE ANALYZED!

    also, tag your friends I want a large sample size. 

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Put all answers to these questions in a spoiler. Do not look at other’s answers before posting. Answer the questions one at a time. Do not look at the next question before you answer the current one. Do not edit your answers after moving on. Use a #2 pencil. 

    Question Zero:

    Spoiler

    If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your answers publicly in a reply to this SU, shoot me a DM! I’m very interested to see what results this yields. 

    If you’re even uncomfortable shooting me a DM, use the anonymous “17th Shard Communal Account” I set up a while ago. You will have to DM me for the password (unless you were in the Meme Comp, in which case, you already know it), but unless you are literally the only person who wants to use the account, it’ll still provide a sufficient measure of anonymity.

    Either way, write down your answers as you go through these. Even if you decide partway through that you won’t send them, finish the experiment. Then, feel free to only send in certain answers. Or none. Up to you. (If you do complete the questionnaire and decide to not share any answers, I’d appreciate you at least telling me that you completed it.)

     

    Question One:

    Spoiler

    Define “Love” in 1-2 sentences. 

    Question Two:

    Spoiler

    When you read question one, did the question “do you mean romantic or platonic love?” (or a similar question) ever cross your mind? Please elaborate.

    Question Three:

    Spoiler

    Define “Heartbreak” in 1-2 sentences.

    Question Four:

    Spoiler

    Have you ever experienced Heartbreak, as defined by yourself in question three? Elaborate if you feel comfortable doing so.

    Question Five:

    Spoiler

    If you answered “No” to question four, Have you ever experienced anything someone else could possibly describe as Heartbreak? Elaborate if you feel comfortable doing so.

    If you answered “Yes” to question four, Hi! How are you? Enjoying the social experiment?

    Question Six:

    Spoiler

    Rate the following statements on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being “I believe this statement to be definitively false”, and 10 being “I believe this statement to be objectively true”. Feel free to elaborate on your given rating.

    (Please look at each statement one at a time, same as the questions.)

    Statement 1:

    Spoiler

    ”Each person on earth has a soulmate they are supposed to be with. They can only achieve true love with that one person.”

    Statement 2:

    Spoiler

    “There is a limited selection of possible candidates for whom you could fall in love with.”

    Statement 3:

    Spoiler

    “Some people are simply incompatible.”

    Statement 4:

    Spoiler

    Any two people could learn to fall in love, given sufficient time, and sufficient willingness on behalf of the subjects.”

    Statement 5:

    Spoiler

    “Given sufficient time, any two people will fall in love, whether they want to or not.”

    Statement 6:

    Spoiler

    “Love is arbitrated by one’s brain chemistry alone.”

    Statement 7:

    Spoiler

    “Love is always a positive force in the world.”

    Statement 8:

    Spoiler

    “A hotdog is a sandwich.”

    Statement 9:

    Spoiler

    “All people are deserving of love.”

    Statement 10:

    Spoiler

    “‘Romantic’ love is the superlative form of love.”

     

    Question Seven:

    Spoiler

    Did you consider any of the statements of question six to be poorly phrased, from a “social experiment” point of view? (i.e. too biased or ‘on-the-nose’) Why or why not?

    Question Eight:

    Spoiler

    How do you feel about the way we curently separate ‘love’ into different categories? (platonic, romantic, etc.)

    Question Nine:

    Spoiler

    Did you catch the typo in question eight when you first read it?

    Question Ten:

    Spoiler

    How are you doing, seriously? On a deeply psychological level, are you doing alright? This isn’t a social experiment question, I just like you guys a lot and want to see if I can help you in any way.

      Question 1

      Spoiler

      I'm not sure I know what love is. I think that love is something above enjoyment or affection. It is when you are willing to spend time with someone or something above spending time with other things or people. As an example, I will sometimes practice cello instead of doing homework.

      Question 2

      Spoiler

      Absolutely. I think there is a definite difference, but often they come hand in hand.

      Question 3

      Spoiler

      Heartbreak is the yearning of your soul when something you love is taken from you or otherwise made unavailable.

      Question 4

      Spoiler

      Probably. I can't think of any past examples at the moment, but I often nearly panic worrying about if I get arthritis or something and can't play cello anymore.

      Question 5

      Spoiler

      I love social experiments. How people think is absolutely fascinating to me, and how that changes when a person is in a group is also very interesting.

      Question 6

      Spoiler

      4/10. I think that true love is possible with more than one person, but I also think that some people are definitely meant to find others.

      7/10. It depends on your definition, but a person can only love so much, and experience so much heartbreak, before they simply cannot handle it anymore. I think that the limit is very high, but it exists. It also depends on how intense a person loves. I could say I love the human race generally, but that doesn't mean I can't love specific people in a more direct way

      5/10. I don't really know on this one. Again, it depends on how intense we are talking. I believe it is always possible to find common ground, but some people just can't get along. It could be true, and I just refuse to accept it.

      7/10. I think this is most likely possible, but sometimes it almost certainly wouldn't happen without extreme circumstances

      4/10. I don't really know, but I feel like if a person really does not want to fall in love, they will not.

      2/10. I disagree with this. My religion impacts the answer to this question especially. I'm also a romantic/dramatic/artistic person, so this impacts my decision as well. I think there is something more spiritual about love than simple brain chemistry.

      7/10. I think this is generally, true, but it depends on your definition of good.

      3/10. By strict definition yes, but in practice absolutely not.

      7/10. I think that we should try to love all people, but past a certain point it becomes basically impossible. Weather they are deserving or not is less of a question than weather I could give it.

      4/10. Yes, but there are definitely very sincere forms of love that do not involve that.

       

      Question 7

      Spoiler

      Some of the questions were not specific enough, and leave a bit too much room for personal interpretation for the results to be of much use. Unless, of course, that variety in interpretation was intentional. Then it's all good.

      Question 8

      Spoiler

      I think it makes sense, since the term love is used very broadly

      Question 9

      Spoiler

      Nope.

      Question 10

      Spoiler

      In a deeply phycological way? Probably not. I think I will be able to work it out on my own and with my friends though. If I need to vent at some point I guess I'll let you know.

      I'll be sharing my own answers along with a sort of "directors commentary" in just a minute, after I compile all the answers.

      Is this ever coming?
