I am a lovely person, deserving of love; you just can't see that!

As it happens you were not the target audience I had in mind when posting the thread title, much as i appreciate all the love you offer us all under the conditions you've listed.

I'm guessing everyone else is a bit shy at posting or revealing themselves, unlike your good self, who must be getting told how much you're loved all the time, so the situation I'm describing does not apply to you! (y).

Actually I have and do know deep love. It has not been a pipe dream for me. Most of those I love deeply have now passed on. But their love is still with me. If you have not known this kind of love, I am sorry. Wish I could help.

I've loved other people but never felt love myself. Nothing anyone can do at this point.
 
I have been very blessed in my life. Wonderful loving Dad, caring Mother, Married to a loving caring man. Blessed with loving children and grandchildren. I couldn't ask for anything more, except to win the lottery and spread the money to my loved ones.

I find that incredibly sad. Do you love yourself?

I feel like love is just some big cosmic joke.

It is real. But some of us have lived lives that for what ever reason did not allow it. That too is sad. Again, we can start by realizing we are people of great value, and begin by applying love to ourselves, as a salve. Pets can help with the process.

This is a fair argument for any of us to make isn't it, (and we'd all hope it is true!):

"You're/I'm a lovely person, deserving of love, you just can't see that. :)!

(wake up wouldya?! ;))

You got everything right, Grahamg, other than the part... "you just can't see that".

Everyone loves, love, and deserves love. :)

Hugs to you! šŸ¤—
 
Judycat somehow the quote thingy got messed up, with what you said being included in what I said. I don't cry. It doesn't help me. I'm glad you get by. All of us have been disappointed by love. When I needed it the most a lot of the people who claimed to love me turned away and left me to drown. They still deny they did anything wrong and turn their backs on me, if I point it out. So be it. But I have also known deep love, often from unexpected sources. These days most of that support only comes through the ethers. At this point I miss finding those of like mind to embrace emotionally and intellectually for mutual support. To be honest, that is why I'm here, hoping to find it.
 
Well, I guess (because I'm a pragmatic sort) that it depends on how you define love. There are as many definitions as there are dictionaries that define it......

A willingness to prioritize another's well-being or happiness above your own.
Extreme feelings of attachment, affection, and need.
Dramatic, sudden feelings of attraction and respect.
A fleeting emotion of care, affection, and like.
An intensity of happiness
an intense feeling of deep affection
a deep pleasure in someone

...........and so on.

I am privileged to be surrounded by a number of people who love me, by any of those definitions, and who I love in return.
 
And yet some say you only really find one true love in your life(?)

I suppose its worth being awfully careful to be sure when someone says they love you they really mean it, (whatever it means....btw I mean it in the sense most of us might say it when we believe we love someone, that simple, and complex at the same time, to use a contradiction my mother might have admired!).
