Passion comes from within for someone you feel passionate for, it's not something you can learn you either have it or not.

Maybe if you keep at it passion will come to you at one point (by itself) but if you try to learn passion it will always stay a lesson not a feeling.

One can also become passionate about something - it's an powerful emotion, is it teachable, hell I'd say yes because of the topic of this thread :wink:

Forcing yourself? I don't think forcing yourself is ever a good idea. If it happens it happens but forcing yourself? If you ever do that it's more likely you feel pity than anything else in which case you're a horrible person.

I think you can learn to care for someone, possibly love them, but passion thrives with chemistry and spark. So, no i don't think so.

This loaded question has so many possible translations. It's like asking what is the color of the sky right now. Let me define it another way. You are a happy, positive, optimistic person, and they are always angry, always depressed, always negative. Can you turn them around? Sure, but not always guaranteed, and not always for the long term. If this person that is so bereft in the passion department wants to truly turn over a new leaf and make a change, then yes it is possible to learn to be passionate. If not, then they are wallowing in pity and selfishness.

When I first met my ex I didn't look twice at him. I didn't think he was attractive and didn't give him the time of day. Over time we became friends and in more time I fell in love with him because of the way he treated me and loved me..respected me and made me feel. The sparks started to fly and the passion grew from then on...

Passion can grow, but there has to be some underlying chemistry or spark. You can't just make that up out of nothing and have it be genuine.

:heart: Can you learn to be passionate about someone if there is no chemistry at first?:heart:


Only if there is a spark or some type of interest on your part.
