Strange when one come to think of it. How important are your loved ones to you? Are you really important to them? Do you really get the love and attention you need? Do you really give the love and attention they need? Not likely it seems. I know the world and all cannot evolve around one person, but really a bit of attention never killed anyone. Or so i thought. Do you feel loved or at least important enough to care for or about.? How many can really say that your loved one's are important to you and visa verca, without the occasional little fights and arguing of course. That won't count today. TATA.

I am so loved!! By both my boyfriend and children, so personally I do not care if anyone else does not as they are the most important people in my life. In fact they are my life so outside of them, there really is not more of me to go around.

Actually - all blonds are naturally lovable... like dolphins.. you know. I think dolphins would find that insulting because they are not dumb... but I couldn't come up with better comparison right away...

Hello saphrina, They are as much as important as my life and so i am to them. I knew from the bottom of my heart and I cant question my value to them. I have a place in the family that no one can take. With all the love that i received and about to receive i always take note in reciprocating everything to the best that i could give. Lil commotion in the family is but normal and a test to strengthen each relationship. You are such a vital mylotter saphrina and so as everyone here! Happy Mylotting!!

Hi Saphrina, I think and believe "I am the World". They say that when you love anyone, never expect back a favor or a return love. Be Contended with the fact that you love. I agree. When I expect something in return for my love... I am being selfish (maybe but that is human nature and I think I am a human).. But I realized the moment you start expecting (in any relation and because of anything) the relation tends to get sour as you do feel bad when your expectations are not met. So for me, My Love towards you is essential. I dont care whether you reciprocate or do not care about it.... You are an Individual and so am I. I can respect your decisions and so can you(my decision). This approach keeps me happy and contended. - I know I am an unfit for today's world. As for the fights and quarrels... They help me bond more with you. Cheers, theSids.

Hi saphrina, I feel i am most important to my family members, because they need who cares them, love them, attend them, help them and also listen to them. Because of this i am not going for the job also, i feel my family members are more important than going out leaving my family members and earning. This is the reason i am doing some computer works (of course this mylot become a hobby to me). Have a good day dear.

wow many questions. my loved ones are very important to me, i don't know though how important i am to them and you can never truly know. only the person who actually has those feelings can tell for sure how many he/she cares about someone. no, i don't get the love i need.. but need is a.. big word here. let's say i don't get the love i'd like to receive. nor the attention. and by attention i don't mean that i need it from people when i'm outside or things like that, i mean attention from my parents and my so called 'true friends'. and arguing, even though the 2 love eachother, is completely natural. you simply can't agree with just everything!

I would hope that I am very important to my kids. I feel loved by my kids, and I love them as well. Of course, they can be annoying sometimes, but I'm sure they don't want to be with me all the time either!! :)

Hello Saphie, I've always been the other guy took me that long to hard to realize this.When i was in college, i thought being the best in the class you can have friendships. I was wrong after i stop being the best. So, I just stop giving a damn what they think about things. It's not good though but that's life. i do care but not as one thing they care about. fights are part of getting to know each other thing

I have a loved one who cares deeply about me. Goodness knows why as I have too many failings. As for the rest of the world I think that we are pretty much alone. Show a bank executive a starving child and a bonus cheque, he/she will take the cheque. I hope one day the world will repay their kindness.........

Hi sweetie. No one is perfect. We are loved for what we are. That makes each one of us so special. Bank executives: Yip, i know their kindness will be repaid. Fully actually. We just have to wait patiently. Thanx. TATA.

I believe I'm very important to my bf because his attention is always on me, noticing every little details about me. He treats me very well and I appreciate it. I feel sorry to him because there's only so much I can do for him, pay very little attention to him due to my workload. He understands it and I'm making it up to him whenever possible. He's someone who doesn't like being in the limelight. There are times he might appear that he doesn't care, but deep down he cares and his actions often touches my heart.

It is necessary to understand humanity in order to help others or care about any person. we should love with humanity not cast or any community. As far as the love is concerned we must understand, love is mother of all relations, If you love some one, it is great for you and the person you love.

if that certain person give importance to me then i'll give importance to him or him in return. if that certain person is important to then i'll take care of him or her. but if he/ she did not care even a little bit then let them as long as they will not hurt me.

Hello my friend! I believed that I am important enough to my husband and vice versa,he makes me feel it through his many ways of loving me and I do the same with him. We quarrel,yes,we need those to make our relationship stronger. But we do not sleep at night not resolving our fight,we see to it that we sleep embracing each other and feel no worries. One thing I like from our relationship is my hubby is the water,I am the fire so whenever I'm on fire(it is I'm mad)my hubby would be the water to calm the heat in me. See you around!

My family is the most important thing in the world to me. I just so love my children and they love me too. We tell each other frequently how much we love each other. I am always there for them and they are there for me. have said before that my biggest achievement in life is to bring up four children who genuinely get on together and love each other. I am so lucky to have 2 wonderful DIL's who actually love me too. I think it was because I had horrible MIL and I made a promise to be the best MIL for my DIL's. any little disagreement is easily sorted out.

Hi, dear.:) My loved ones (kids, parents, siblings and close relatives ) are all important to me. They are just so important that whenever they get hurt, I feel their pain and weep with them. My kids, I'll do everything for them to make them happy, safe and feel loved every minute of their lives. In my children's eyes and presence, I am loved, I know. :) But with regards to others? Here's what I thought about it: When I'm gone, will there be someone, except for my kids, who will cry because i'm gone? Hubby, despite of what we are right now, is still important to me and his happiness still matters to me.:) Have a great day ,my dear.

Some days I don't really feel as if I matter. Well, I do, in the sense that I cook and do laundry. When I was gone last year for a couple weeks, they all managed without me. My daughter mentioned that she didn't realize how much I actually did. A lot of times, I feel like a maid without the pay.
