\u201cThe problem with infatuation, of course, is that it\u2019s a mirage, a trick of the eye \u2013 indeed, a trick of the endocrine system. Infatuation is not quite the same thing as love; it\u2019s more like love\u2019s shady second cousin who\u2019s always borrowing money and can\u2019t hold down a job.<\/span> When you become infatuated with somebody, you\u2019re not really looking at that person; you\u2019re just captivated by your own reflection, intoxicated by a dream of completion that you have projected on a virtual stranger.\u201d (p. 101)<\/p>\n

\u201cI think perfectionism is just fear in fancy shoes and a mink coat,<\/span> pretending to be elegant when actually it\u2019s just terrified.
