Is it love?

I've liked/loved someone for 6 years and am confused as to whether it is love/lust/infatuation......
she's always on my mind, i go into depression when we've had an arguement or she doesn't call me, i get butterfiles when i'm around her especially when i look into her eyes, i want to spend my whole life with her, i get madly jealous when she talks to anyone else, she totally controls my emotions - when she's angry i'm angry etc, she's the only person i want to be with, i feel empty when i'm not around her, all i wanna do is hug her, when she goes away i feel like a part of me is missing...
am i in love? and how do i get out of it??!! (the feeling is not returned)

The teenage version, which isn't the real thing, but much worse.

It's an infatuation. The anser is to go out and meet lots of new girls.

Infatuation/lust. But if it wasnt unrequited then there wouldnt be a problem. infatuation can develop into love but in your case I'm not sure that's possible. Sorry.
Call it infatuation if you want - if the feeling was returned you (and everyone else here) would call it love.

If there's no chance of it ever being returned, your best bet is to get as far away from her as possible. On a day-to-day basis, you'll start to forget about her.

Unfortunately, if you ever happen to run into her again, it might not feel unlike being hit by a truck. :wink:

Maybe you should tell her how you feel because from your post it appears she isnt your girlfriend. Start at that and then your be able to answer your question.

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

btw, u got infatuation, a love of your feelings, not of that person . . how can you love someone who doesn't even know what u r goin through & seek to stop it?
It's not love cos if it is, you wouldn't wanna get out of it, even if the feeling's not returned. I'm in love with two friends of mine, one doesn't love me like that back, but I still love her anyways. The other does love me back, and even if things change, I'll keep on loving her.

It is infatuation you are feeling in my opinion.

Wait, because it's unrequited everyone thinks it's infatuation?

Infatuation doesn't last six years. Neither does 'teenage love'/crush.

Yeah, it's love. Unlucky. Since it's not returned I say stay away from her. Far away from her. Out of sight out of mind, and all that. Don't acknowledge her that much either.

She's not my gf and i can't tell her i like/love her cos we're close friends and i told her ages ago and we stopped talking for a month cos she was so freaked out and wouldn't come near me...
i just want it to go away it's killing me...

Perhapse play the long game then. When she is older and wants someone steady after getting bounced around you can be there to make it all better : )
