They’ve got the love bug — symptoms include intense emotions and uncontrollable shaking.
The cure? A big ol’ full body hug.
Los Angeles-based lovebirds Lilianna Wilde and Sean Kolar claim they are often so overflowing with adoration that they just can’t contain it, resulting in a “love surge,” a physical reaction to their intense emotions that results in full-body tremors while they embrace.
The married couple posted their “cringiest most couple-y thing ever” to TikTok, racking up 5.9 million viral views and a slew of mixed reviews in the polarizing process.
“We do this when one of us has, like, so much in our limbs that we can’t contain it and feel like we’re gonna explode,” Wilde, a content creator and musician, explained in the clip as a jittery Kolar stood behind her.
“So, Sean is having a love surge right now, and he’s gonna wrap around me and shake with the electricity of love until I catch it, too, and start shaking, and then you explode with a love surge,” Wilde continued as the pair embraced.
While some viewers thought the idea of a “love surge” was humorous or “cute,” others claimed it to be vomit-inducing, cringing in disgust — well, can’t say she didn’t warn them.
“I need a love surge protector,” wrote one hater.
“I want what’s the opposite of this,” commented another cruel viewer.
“Maybe i don’t need to date ever again actually,” someone else chimed in.
Meanwhile, others jumped to the smitten couple’s defense — and even started a trend by trying it themselves.
“I dunno why people are hating, this is cute,” one fan commented.
“Everyone here is the worst that was kind of cute,” someone else wrote. “i love cringy cute love.”
“Your love is beautiful, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, yall do you,” another person agreed.
But the overflow of support online wasn’t enough to drown out internet trolls.
Tears cascading down her cheeks, Wilde posted a heartbroken TikTok on Thursday describing how “sad” the hateful content made her.
“If the goal was to make me sad, you did it, you won,” she said to the camera in the clip, which amassed 5.7 million views.
Between a few sniffles, she described the types of comments she received — people wishing infidelity, violence and even death on her — calling them “really mean” and “hurtful.”
“I think a lot of times people type something online and then they don’t see the result of it and this is the result,” she said.
“And if you like doing this to people, then keep doing it, and if you don’t then maybe think about it and stop.”
