The term hyperreality characterizes the inability of conciousness to distinguish reality from fantasy, easpecially in technologically advanced postmodern cultures. hyperreality affects the perception of relationships and love in many ways. According to famous hyperreality theorist Jean Baudrillard "hyperreality tricks the counsiousness into detaching from any real emotional engagement, instead opting for artificial stimuation". This is a serious issue. With this thought alone, many people carry on with their lives with the notion that aritifical is simply better then having the real thing. fulfillment and happiness is found through stimulation and imitation of reality, rather than having interaction with any sort of "real" reality. many people live their whole lives this way, so long that they easily lose sight of what is really real in their lifes and what is simply a facade. Baudrillard suggests that "the world we live in has been replaced by a copy world where we seek stimulus and nothing else". this would also effect relationships and love. as soon as a relationship becomes slightly less stimulating, it is considered bad and is ended so one can search for that feeling of stimulus once again.
