How Do You Express Love When You Never Experienced Love?
You will end up expressing in it in the most dysfunctional way if you aren’t aware.
A large majority of the world doesn’t know what love is.
That’s the problem.
Everyone has had a fucked-up childhood in one way or another. Most are in denial, and that’s the issue.
People confuse infatuation, the honeymoon phase, and dependence as love; it’s not.
Look around on social media, then take a look at people’s real lives.
You know the people I am speaking about; I’m sure we can all name a few friends or acquaintances that fall in this category of a “glamorized fake life.”
Love isn’t words or even a feeling for that matter, in my opinion.
It’s actions. Love is a verb.
I believe that we are attracted to who we are due to unhealed trauma or something we lacked in childhood.
And when you find the person who gives you the “familiar or what wasn’t given in childhood,” it will feel like love, but it’s not. It is more of a dependence on the person, more than likely something you are trying to avoid in yourself.
