Inspired by the love thread earlier.

Do the friends, family and others make you feel loved? How do they make you feel loved?

The Mr & kids do yes, family wise....it's complicated, I guess they do in their own way but they have a strange way of showing it.

Not especially, but we’ve worked in a family business environment for the last 30 years so the loving side of the family thing has gone in favour of a familiarity that comes with spending pretty much all the time together.

My kids yes.

Colleagues yes

Kids I care for yes

My colleagues spoiled me for my 50th. And they have been incredible whilst I'm going through a tough time lately

My kids with their messages, hugs, their actions, silly things like a simple 'drive safe' if the weather is bad, or and every time they say 'love you' at the end of a conversation

As for the little ones I care for it's the smiles, the hugs, the excitement when I walk in and the little things they bring me in the mornings like a daisy or buttercup they've picked or a stone they found

Love can be actions. Doesn't always need to be words

Yes.

They make me feel loved by making an active choice and a deliberate commitment to care for and support me. Their actions that prioritise my well-being, demonstrate empathy, respect, and kindness feel, at times, palpable despite their geographical distance in some cases.

They’ve expressed love for me as small gestures, being fully present in conversations, actively listening without distractions, and offering their undivided attention and time. Standing by me during difficult times, whether I am going through a tough time or challenges, their love is a choice to be there for me.

Actively encouraging me to pursue dreams and cheering me on through endeavours makes me feel their love too.

Some make the effort to connect, understand, support, and uplift me every day throughout challenges, obstacles, nor just the happy moments in life. It’s not just uttering words, as that’s easy, but it’s their actions that come from the bonds we share that makes me feel loved.

I feel very loved by friends, siblings, and children. They show me whenever they fancy a chat, want to spend some time, when we take the piss out of each other, when they need someone to love them and they choose me. Sometimes they even tell me.

Parents.... Hmmmmm. They love me as much as they know how to.

That unconditional nurturing parental love that we're all supposed to grow up feeling? I've had to learn to give that to myself as an adult. It's been tricky, but I think I've nailed it 😎

For the first time in my life, yes. I've cut out anyone who didn't and will make better choices on who I let in, in the future. The love shines more brightly when toxicity is removed and it shines through genuinely good people.

No not really,

Family don’t really get on with me anymore as all they see me as is a liability and that’s about it.

Friends, not really. Especially now as I don’t subscribe to their world view.

Others, dunno. Steered clear away from dating, wanting a relationship etc because I see myself as someone who’s insanely hard to love or even be with in a relationship

Family, yes. Like a million percent. I don't think we need to do anything in particular to make that known, but it's based on a lifetime of knowing I'm loved unconditionally. I know that's very fortunate.

I have lots of good friends. Loyal, dependable, good friends. I don't know about love.

Absolutely. I know my wife loves me totally. My family it's different, I love dinner distance from the rest but I know they'd do anything to help of ever I needed it

We have a small friend group who are just lovely people and yes, definitely feel wanted among them.

I'm a lucky man.

I get the reasons for why I feel as I do and I'm sure it'll pass but the answer is no... Quite the opposite. Just now I'd say I feel pretty much alone and unlovable.

"Nope. "

I truly felt that my cat loved me. He would stare at my face and have this cute smouldering look of affection. Sadly he passed away. I'm not sure that my kid is capable of love. She doesn't show any emotions. I've removed myself from the rest of my family. I don't think I am capable of romantic love anymore. I have lustful infatuations that vanish almost as quick as they start.

I had what I describe as a "blip" with my mental health last year.

It was very unexpected and I still to this day soft fully understand it.

Everything is too much effort, until its the otherwise round and they want something from me or want my time to help them out. Then it's always an emergency. Otherwise get fuck all from them.

By family, yes.

My family have been a cocoon of happiness and comfort, although numbers have drastically dwindled over the years so that it’s just my mum and my kids left now.

Romantically? Probably not since my first LTR. I felt loved and adored. Other relationships since I’ve felt like they were just tolerating me rather than them being alone.

Yes I do and I know I’m very lucky. My husband loves me unconditionally and tells me so all the time. My kids are very loving show me affection and appreciation. I am close enough to my family. I have a great set of vanilla friends and also fab friends who support me and want to spend time for me.

However for some reason, it still doesn’t seem enough. I still feel like I have more love to give and want to receive more. I am always seeking out new connections with people and yet I know I am already privileged to have so many people who love and care for me in my life.

They do say we find our true friends when we hit a low point.
