Will I Ever Be Truly Loved?

Perhaps it's the lack of stability during childhood that makes you yearn even more for a happy family. The attachments you developed with your parents deeply influence how you relate to others in the future. If you were constantly ignored, blamed, or told to be "sensible," obedient, and quiet, you may have long been accustomed to suppressing your emotions. This is because you fear that if you express your true feelings, you'll be disliked, rejected, or even abandoned.

You constantly crave reassurance and struggle with self-doubt in relationships. This isn't because you don't love your partner enough, but rather because you're too afraid of being abandoned again. These reactions are never your fault; they are simply your best efforts to repair a childhood where you weren't loved well. It's not that you're bad at loving; it's that you were never loved well, yet you still strive to love.

Healing doesn't happen overnight. But when you begin to see the vulnerability and longing behind these reactions, you'll gain more understanding and be gentler with yourself. Slowly learn that you are worthy of being loved and accepted. You don't need to please or flatter someone to earn a little attention.

From today, let's practice together: Rediscover your sense of self-worth and gently say to yourself: "I am worthy of love. I can be myself with peace of mind." A happy relationship is never achieved through self-sacrifice, but rather through each person’s ability to feel safe and secure being themselves.
