- Characterized by the search for Present Love Feelings. For example, the man is nice to everyone but then gets home and doesn’t talk to wife. Can love anyone shallow but no one a lot. He’s still going out with the boys (bowling) but can’t home and relate deep to one person. Diffuse relationships mandate constant, ongoing interaction because the feelings are shallow, despite how jolting and electric they feel at the time.

“Diffuse also describes the emotional instability of bouncing among a mob of online “friendships,” each of which are necessarily shallow and transient. It means building an emotional life in a make-believe world which disappears…They truly end up feeling quite unloved because they can’t build the deeper love experiences which come from a more “Tribal Love” experience. These online diffuse relationships mandate constant, ongoing interaction because the feelings are shallow, despite how jolting and electric they feel at the time.”
