Will had never wanted to fall in love. When it had happened to friends, it had always struck him as a peculiarly unpleasant-seeming experience, what with all the loss of sleep and weight, and the unhappiness when it was reciprocated, and the suspect, dippy happiness when it was working out.
Will held a strong aversion to love, perceiving it as an undesirable state, especially based on the experiences of his friends. He associated love with insomnia, physical decline, and emotional turmoil, finding it unappealing in every way. To him, love seemed unpredictable, bringing joy only when it was successful and creating despair when it wasn't.
His observations led him to believe that the emotional rollercoaster of romance was not worth the risk. Will's perspective positions love as a precarious endeavor filled with discomfort, making him cautious and reluctant to engage in romantic relationships.
