Do the empathetic properties of MDMA create "fake" but lasting feelings?

Bullshit MDMA creates fake feelings, I have witnessed this first hand with my ex girlfriend of a couple of years. I use to love her, and bit by bit our relationship went down hill, everytime I rolled with her, there was no empathy even though I showed it to other people, and I started hating my rolls with her. We broke up and now my rolls are unbelievable, MDMA does not create feelings, only amplifies them, so I say your feelings are true, but were not discovered.

I don't follow kroniic. First you say mdma says creates fake feelings, then you say it doesn't create feelings it just uncovers them.

I never said MDMA creates fake feelings. What I meant that I believe it's bullshit that MDMA creates fake feelings, I use to love my GF and eventually we went down hill, even when we rolled together I started resenting her, and MDMA would never make me love her, my theory is that MDMA uncovers and amplifies feelings. If there is no feelings from the start, then MDMA won't make you love someone just because of its effects.

I believe it can go both ways. My personal experience with having feelings for someone while on MDMA has been positive. I have plenty of friends which I've met on MDMA and three four years later we are still great friends. The first day I met my girlfriend we were both sober (and we hit it off right away), although the next weekend we took MDMA together and that experience really bonded us. Now we've been together for four years. At the same time I've seen MDMA create "fake" feelings. While your high and in an euphoric state you can really bond with a person. It's when you come down and are feeling anxious and paranoid is when that bond and feelings dwindle. It's parallel to relationships based on high adrenaline/intense experiences. After awhile they usually falter. My advice would be to always tread lightly on relationships that begin in these types of situations, but don't be afraid of them or your new found feelings for someone. To answer your question, if MDMA created a feeling within you which is long lasting... It's definitely not "fake" ; ) Good luck.

You just experienced what I call "chemical love".

I don't think it creates a fake feeling, but it enhanced a feeling that's already in you, whether you're aware of it or not.

I've had it myself where I've taken MDMA with an ex partner, and suddenly you feel all in love again and ready to forgive anything. Until the next day when you realise it was the chemicals talking, and there is a reason why you broke up.

It can definitely help you bond though, as long as you both remember what was said and done the night before!

If you're really interested in this person, why not go out on a few dates where there are no drugs involved.

you are getting into the phillisophical part of mdma use here my brother.... Real is just electrical signals interprated by your brain. Whether or not the feelings are there because you took the mdma together doesn't really matter...you got them now. And now you have to deside what to do with them.
