Is love hard to accept for you?

[PacificBlue]

Metophorically speaking of course. Why spit in the face of someone who cares/loves you? Why do some people have such a difficult time accepting that someone likes them, wants to spend time with them, wants to hear what they have to say. Why do everything you can to sabatoge it until the other person just gives up?

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

People are most vulnerable in love.

Makes them do crazy shit.

 

[Cerberus666]

No, actually I'm finding myself lacking in the love department. Lately it feels like my own wife wants nothing to do with me and I have no idea why. I readily accept most who show affection, as long as it's appropiately shown of course.

< Is love hard to accept for you?>


Not sure I even believe in it anymore.

 

[Shaq]

Hmm...can't say I've met anyone who rejected my love...I'm met some who've rejected my attempts at affection or friendship...but then it's a lot easier to walk away...

 

[PacificBlue]

Agreed. Even with friendships though...I've watched people push away what was healthy and strive after what was damaging. I'm not innocent in this at all myself although I'd like to think I'm getting better about it.

It is too bad that so many games are played that when the right thing really does come along, sometimes it isn't recognized for what it is.

 

[Pyper]

I'll fess up. I'm a love rejector. What can I say.

 

[scrymettet]

they are scared. Scared to be wounded. Scared of the unknown.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

I am just patiently waiting for it to find me....

 

[HorneeLadee]

I find it hard to accept love. I always doubt that the person means it when he says he loves me. I guess I am too afraid to open up and wear my heart on my sleeve.

I'm usually afraid that they don't mean it. I'm usually afraid that they are going to say that, get me hooked, then dump me for someone better.

Basically, I'm just afraid....

been shit on way too many times. It's hard to wade through.


I haven't totally given up, however. I actually feel like the stray dog that's been kicked too much. I wag my tail from a safe distance, really want to take the treat from your hand, but don't want to get so close I get hurt.

I still believe it Could Happen. Just don't have confidence it will some days.

I hear this often. "Don't wear your heart on your sleeve." Why hide it? What is it going to get me to not show someone that I care about them? Life is short. Granted, common sense should come into play here but I'm also not going to become jaded to something I believe in.

 

[fgarvb1]

No not really. I also accept that love is fleeting and there may not be that someone that i find or who finds me, who truly deeply loves me.

It sucks but i'm willing to be proven wrong.

That's true, too. You'll never know if you don't express yourself. I just don't set much hope in it coming to anything. But by getting it "out there" at least I won't beat myself up with "what ifs."

you have a good point there.

i don't think my heart works anymore

 

[nasty1]

I have a hard time believing someone loves me, because, I broke up with someone that said they didn't care whether I was disablied, or, could get an erection. Then, 2 weeks later, they just left, &, didn't come back.

After enough times of being shit on, abused and hurt, it tends to be hard to believe you're worthy.

 

[PacificBlue]

i don't think my heart works anymore

It does. Honest.

 

[Cheyenne]

Why? In most cases, I'd guess a combination of fear and low self-esteem.

At least those were my reasons. They still haunt me sometimes.

What she said

 

[Never]

Is love hard to accept for you?"
Nope.

"Why spit in the face of someone who cares/loves you?"
Just because someone loves you does not mean you'll like them all, or even some, of the time.

"Why do some people have such a difficult time accepting that someone likes them, wants to spend time with them, wants to hear what they have to say?"
Most people have been told that they're liked/loved by someone who didn't mean it.

"Why do everything you can to sabotage it until the other person just gives up?"
Typically because they feel irritated or smothered.

 

[slowfingers1]

Sometimes people see things in us that we dont (or wont) see in ourselves, and love us for it.. or at least I'd like to think that could happen
