I don‘t really think I‘ve truly felt loved, but for me to feel that way, I would need to be seen and heard.
I feel loved when I’m truly seen. I feel loved when someone is present through their gaze, through conversation, through the little routines of everyday life that still remind me I matter in their world. I feel loved when I’m listened to, when there’s room for calm conversations — whether silent or difficult ones that require courage — but where there’s still the comfort of knowing that, in the end, we’ll still be there and able to speak with respect.
I like being remembered and wanted, not through grand gestures, but simply through knowing that the people in my circle genuinely want me around as much as I show that I want them around too. Being cared for and caring for the people we love is something beautiful, and I feel loved when there’s reciprocity from both sides, each in their own way, but with enough affection shown for me to know I’m not just being a burden, so I can understand when I should stay close or step away, because I would never want to cause discomfort or make someone feel overwhelmed either.
When I’m surrounded by the people I love, for sure. When something hurts me and I have someone to turn to, just as those people are also by my side to celebrate my achievements. 🩷
I think that I have to be listened, since my wishes can change depending of how it goes my relationship with the same person or the different times at my life. Also, being taken care of, but not obsessively. I'm not really a clingy person, and I don't want to be disrespected because of how people feel about that.
