An example was given in class about how you already feel comfortable with a family member, but when you are put in an environment with others who don't we know there is a sense of embarrassment. Because we are not able to act the same way with someone we have known, say for a few days, compared to someone we have known for much longer. This is what makes me believe that love is a mental thing and not really existent. I can easily tell someone I just met that I love them and think nothing of it. I may not feel that way about that person, but maybe there was something that was done at that given moment that made me want to say it. Just like there are times when I can tell someone I hate them but I don't actually mean it
