its goal is to help us understand ourselves better enabling us to recognize the origins of certain negative habits and increase our self-awareness with that said let's look at the different types of lust and we might just discover which one you have sexual lust all forms of lust are more than just a general want for something lusting for something means longing for something prioritizing it and pursuing it sexual lust is more than just wanting sex or being sexually attracted to sex someone it is the intense longing for sexual gratification instead of wanting sex as a form
of intimacy with one person sexual lust can make you seek sexual gratification with as many people or as often as you possibly can this can become hypersexuality which can be at least partially responsible for problematic sexual activity like cheating if your greatest lust is for sex you may struggle to maintain relationships despite always being involved with people emotional lust if you long for emot emotional connections and intimacy just for the sake of it you might have emotional lust you might like the idea of falling in love but not truly loving someone for who they are
you may want to fall in love without having a specific person in mind usually love comes to us after we meet someone but for people with emotional lust the feelings are the priority and they can be projected on to anyone some people often find it easy to get caught up in the idea of falling in love because it seems exciting and perfect it's like imagining a fairy tale where everything is RO rtic and magical if you find yourself falling in love with everyone you meet you might have emotional lust power lust nobody likes to feel
small or insignificant and groups of people we like to know that we have a purpose and a reason for being there for others that isn't enough if you have a lust for power you probably see people as a means to an end they're a resource if you don't see potential friendships in people but rather contacts and acquaintances that can get you ahead in life this doesn't mean you can't have friendship at all but letting go of toxic friendships may be more difficult if you think keeping them around could hold an advantage you always have a
goal in mind and take charge when you can you like your ideas to be heard and you do what you can to make sure that everyone follows through this on its own doesn't make you a bad person as control and Order are often helpful and necessary in group situations but being ignorant of the needs of others and pursuing your own goals might expose Your Lust for power remember wanting to lead isn't enough to make you a good leader m material lust we all have felt the stting of jealousy when someone is something that we want
that can inspire a burning lust for material possessions in you material lust can cover anything like wanting the nicest clothes the nicest car a large house or even just being extremely wealthy if you have material lust you're looking for the extremes you don't just want to live comfortably and not having to worry about rent for a month you want bigger better newer and shinier things a person with material lust isn't necessarily someone who already has the means to acquire nice things people from poor backgrounds who have an idea life in their minds that involve being
super wealthy are also capable of developing material lust no matter what your background is pursuing material possessions and wealth probably won't make life more satisfying according to a study by psychologist Dr Joan sang and colleagues increased materialism can predict lower life satisfaction there's nothing wrong with having nice things but keeping your life varied and drawing happiness from more than just material things can make life feel more fulfilling intellectual lust nobody knows everything there's no Grand wizard in a Mountaintop surrounded by books that can tell you everything about everything some people want to be that wizard
if you love to show off your knowledge and prove how intelligent you are at any chance you get you probably have an intellectual lust you like to debate you like to overcome intellectual obstacles and you enjoy taking on intellectual challenges this can be great if used with respect and empathy knowing that there's always someone who knows more about something than you and that's okay this means there is always something to learn from each other intellectual arrogance is what happens when intelligence is treated like material possessions or they're something to be flaunted and not shared if
a narcissistic person finds themselves with an intellectual lust they'll be sure to make that clear to you encouraging careful thought and learning is fantastic but trying to make someone else feel stupid is cold and largely pointless aside from the ego boost it gives you spiritual lust enlightment is a noble Pursuit spirituality is vital for a lot of people helping them find fulfillment and meaning in their lives a spiritual lust can be a wholesome guide for your life but as we've learned over the course of this video everything is better in moderation spiritual lust refers to
