That sucks then and why it hurts so much when they don't feel the same way..

[@Vopraan]

Love is not a person, nor a thing. Love is not a feeling, it is a choice. Love is chosen through emotion, but emotion is not all that love is; love is also wondering if you can love someone or something for what they are. Love is seeing people for their flaws and corrections, and continuing to be their partner through all of it. Being there for them theough all of it. Love is not a feeling, but a choice.

How I developed self confidence even after a bad year- losing my job and getting a health diagnosis 1. Self care - massages , skincare , exercise , eat healthy 2. Found my passion . Having a year off from work I finally figured it out . 3. Have a strong circle of friends 4. Make time for family 5. Love your job or keep quitting untill you do . 6. Practice the law of attraction and manifestation . 7. Watch a lot of positive videos on how to reverse your mind set . 8. Be unapologetic about who you are and people will flock to you 9have a brutal self reflection and strive to be the best version of yourself 19. Take advice only from those you admire and are at successful 10. Know that everyone plays a role in your life , people come and go 11. Pray . Spirituality and meditation

[@lanalou2749]

All this serious talk sounds great...especially about loving oneself. But grown people who have faced real life, actually made it to marriage and commitment and remained in that post with discipline, know better! The information seems very good for young, single people who are still wondering about life and looking for a companion. At the end of the day it all boils down to one thing... Making the decision to accept one person for the journey. Everything else is beating around the bushes! Choose one person and build your empire. Learn, grow, make your children together and BUILD YOUR EMPIRE!!

00:04 Love is not the solution to all our problems. 02:29 Living in the present is the key to finding authentic love 04:52 Self-reflection is fundamental for authentic love 07:14 Self-acceptance is crucial for inner tranquility and should be prioritized over pursuing love. 09:36 Maintaining emotional independence is key in the pursuit of love. 11:57 Meditation and mindfulness are fundamental for maintaining emotional independence and not pursuing love that will cause more pain. 14:15 Stoicism teaches us to practice patience in the pursuit of authentic love. 16:36 Authenticity is the key to meaningful relationships. 18:44 Self-knowledge is the key to authentic actions and relationships.

[@p-ziniewicz2085]

It all maybe good getting through life single, but I still miss loving a woman and sex bro. It's not easy when you old and alone becoming sick or lonely. There is a relationship and marriage crisis going on right now in America. Lots of single men and woman unable to date each other. If we keep going at this rate then, there will be no future generations. Mankind will be doomed.

[@gabrieletrinczek3394]

Learning to love yourself happens through interaction with others by examining your words and thoughts and reflect on them. And then practise being kind and respectful to yourself rather than full if self reproach. A failed relationship (list love) is a teacher, avoiding them is missing an opportunity to learn.

[@anassaccente1322]

I am adopting stoicism to improve my life. Embrace true manliness, and become an authentic man. These thoughts are a solid foundation for any man with value and dignity. I hate that my wife and are separating after 8 years of true love and honest care. Our relationship became irritating and stressful as we walk through real challenges such as finances, maintaining attraction to each other, lack of romance and intimacy, and distancing each other in general. I admit that I am responsible for a big portion of the misery we're going through currently. This message helped understand the true meaning of seeking love. Not chasing but seeking. Marriage is not a negative action in any society that has existed. But the understanding of love varies and differ. Thanks for the great speech and wonderful message.

[@Spiritualwarrior956]

Love this it's just what I needed even though I know I have to love myself first but who doesn't want to be loved we all do ...but living in the present is something that I need to embrace this comes up for me time and time again and yet I ignored this But for some reason this video really speaks to me ....thank you ❤

[@lucianogiudice8569]

To love our self is not easy, often we have to start with been able to forgive our self. To forgive our self is a journey that takes time and actions towards a change of our old self. But so long as we look inwards in search for love, we are in the right direction.

I would say tolerance, how much you are ready to tolerate. As in the other not treating you as you want or another might not be able to make us happy but they sure can bring peace of chaos to you. And I think many people confused with the word love. I was married for 20years 3 kids later I walked since I didn't felt respected and there was a feeling of loneliness, so in a way I was loving my self since I didn't want to put up with this feeling anymore.

I stopped having relationships and went on a journey to cleanse my life and grow. I did that, for 2 years I was happy alone and found love in all forms, in nature, family, friends, hobbies and now I’m completely miserable. I miss being loved and loving someone. Only now I’m so evolved and grown I can’t find anyone who vibrates on my level, I haven’t looked, I’ve been waiting for the universe to bring someone. I miss sex, I miss laughing with someone. I think depriving myself of relationships has now ruined me because even if someone came along I couldn’t have them in my space.

It’s not love that we’re chasing, it’s infatuation that you’re chasing, How can you say it love when you don’t the person from the inside personality There’s a difference between love and infatuation, love takes time to know a person’s inner Beauty, infatuation only looks at the physical exterior beauty Another word, she may be beautiful from the outside But suck from the inside of her Personality
