why do we

[Willing and Unsure]

strive so much to be loved by someone else?

 

[MysteryJKR]

cuz when your truely in love. Its like no other feeling in the world.

to be loved so much and cared about and always have someone in your corner. its something ya cant really describe.

 

[Low-light]

Maybe because people can be incomplete on their own, or at least it can feel that way. For good or ill, the need to have that kind of attatchment/support is hard-wired into human beings.

There's also nothing that I've found that is quite same. Everyone deserves it.

*hugz for willing*

strive so much to be loved by someone else?

In some ways it affirms our self worth. Grants our fondest thoughts of having someone that will appreciate us for being ourselves and not basing that appreciation on our contribution to society or an existing family structure.

Most folks really crave that sense of love,,, and since they crave it they 'strive' to find someone that will willingly, unabashedly, and unconditionally give love.

What else is there?

 

[Bluenose]

well to have someone love you unconditionally is the best feeling there is

 

[Coggie]

Because.......

Willing and Unsure:

All of the above and, for most of us, it's what we need.

A strong, healthy, loving relationship binds us to the world, helps us to appreciate things outside of our individual perspective and provides us with another "raison d'etre" as well as another mind to explore.

For some it's the only reason to be here and for nearly all of us it's certainly the biggest reason.

I suspect you were reflective when you asked the question and perhaps having a little trouble with a relationship. If so, I hope you soon find what you need

Because we´re incomplete. We start to exist in our mother´s womb and with birth that contact is lost, so we spend the rest of our lives trying to compensate for that loss. IMO

 

[Morden]

Because nothing else matters as much to me as being with a person I love.

Because we are all basically insecure, and the knowledge that someone loves us, not because they are biologically tied to us , but because we have in some way inspired them, makes us feel less insecure and inspires us to do greater and better things.

To love and to be loved are both basic human needs. We strive to feel loved and to be able to share our love.

Human nature

i would guess.

it is nice to be wanted, needed and loved by someone else
