How sad when people you love seem to get rid of you so easily!!!!

Unfortunately or luckly I can love people (friends, relatives, partners) very deeply. This is very unlucky because once i love someone I need a lot to stop loving him or her. And my strong affections are a misfortune because I suffer very much when they, the people i loved so much, seem to get rid of me so easily...Sometimes I was just there wishing they called me, or phoned, or visited me or sent me a letter or a mail...I was there wishing..but of course I could not just tell them that i needed them to show me a sign of love, only one so I could forgive them. Sometime you need to see if they care for you or not...and how sad when you see that they are not doing a thing..neither the one you needed the most, nor another one..has this ever happened to you???

My dearest friend - you and I are very alike in our feelings, as I enjoy showing my love for someone I do care about and unfortunately for me (just like you) I enjoy when someone I care about shows his or her love for me as well. But, I have learned in due course that, if someone does not show their love the way I want them to, does not mean he or she does not love me with the same intesity I love them; here is an example, my brother and sister love my dearly but there are weeks at times that they don't even drop an email even though I email/IM regularily but when something happens to me and/or I need them, they have never let me down. Also my best friend, may not call or write me as often as I do but he will do things his own way to show me that he cares as much as I do about him but, simply does not express it the same way. I hope all this makes some sense, as I cannot imagine anyone that you care or love and show them your affection not reciprocating. Hugs, Magdalena

i do agree with you, this is something we have to learn with life: that people can be different, very different from each others and that even people so close to us like brothers and sisters can be so different from us. I learnt this, too but sometimes i think even being different, you have to pay attention and do something if you know that your friend, or sister or lover would appreciate it very much. My brothers are very different from me, but I know wwhat make them happy and I try to do what they like the most, just to show them how much I care...I don't know if I am clear,.....wish only sometimes people did this for me, too...show their love for me, if any.

Oh Maribea sweetheart I know exactly what you mean, as many times, to show one's love and care one can do real small things, as you said- a call, email, a flower and so on. Don't you wish at times that those we love would be able to feel or read us as well as we read them?

I believe that once you love someone you never stop loving them, otherwise you never loved them at all. No matter how much they hurt you you'll always love them. I've been through situations similar to what you are describing with both friends and boyfriends and I still care deeply about them even though we don't talk anymore or aren't together anymore. That's just how it goes. Sometimes if they just threw you away it doesn't necessarily mean they never loved you since they "threw you away" but maybe getting away from you is the only way to deal with still loving you but being unable to be with you anymore. My ex-boyfriend and I work together so we still see each other. He cheated on me and broke up with me and he hurt me a lot but I still love him. He can't even look me in the eye though. I don't take that as him hating me, I take that as he still cares and by avoiding me it's the only way he can deal with it. you know?

if somebody hurts me very deeply, when I decide that everything is over and I realise what a bad person he or she is, oh...noo I don't love him or her anymore..this is the work I do on myself..forget him and her and try to see all what I was not able to see before..I mean all the wrong things you cannot see when loving..this is the road to healing.long and difficult. so I do not agree with you when you say that leaving me is the only way to love me when you cannot be with me..what do you mean? If you love me, you love staying with me no matter how many faults I have. Your ex-boyfriend doesn't dare looking you in your eyes..only because he knows how bad he was and how much he hurt you..so it is right he feels guilty and i hope that you will forget him and find the right person for you..I wish you all the best

I don't believe that you ever stop loving anyone that you ever truly loved. So basically went I mean by they love you but can't be with you is that either they never loved you in the first place or they loved you but it's just not meant to be with you two forever. I don't think you only have ONE true love...therefor you can have past Loves.... and not stay together forever. Does that make more sense? Oh I'm over my ex. He's the one whose not over it. Just because I love him doesn't mean I haven't moved on.

I can still love a friend who I have not seen for ages..I can still love the friend who broke our friendship without telling me the reason but they did not hurt me very much...but I don't love anymore the two men who broke my heart and were a great danger to my health and safeness..oh you'll bet I don't love them anymore and nobody could..I think you never found men like this and I am happy for you..but if someone nearly killed your mind and yourself..oh you cannot love them anymore or it will be a toxic feeling that makes you unable to move on with your life

hi sweetie, why do i feel that we are so one!! whatever you have written is just my thought, each word reflecting my thought process ditto!! in every relationship i give my 100% and may be more but its not reciprocated. why does this happens that when i get bit slog they also kind of forget me!! they hardly show their concern. in some cases, its understandable and some take me for granted. but, i feel, there is a need to show and say the feelings. i am human after all!

I think that we are kindred spirits!!!! love is love and you love because you feel it...but we are not GOD, we are not angels..we are human beings...and we need to love and to be loved, too!!!

Oh dear I'm very much like you - I love easily and deeply and have been hurt many many times over the years because the other person/people didn't have the same commitment. Even my family seems to 'let go' easily and that hurts most of all I think.

the worst of all is when the people you love the most seem not to care much about you or not as much as you do..this is the worst..and i hope your children at least will be deeply convinced that they have a marvellous mother.

Hi, maribea, This has happened to me in my case also. I used to feel that I do not know how to show my love to other people whom I love much. They used to call me a rough and tough man. I do not know why they portrayed me as tough and rough. May be they are right from their point of view. Since they have feeling that I am rough and touch man they are not understanding my real love to them. My own feeling is that I act very normally as others. What shall we do. We have to live and stomch the feeling of ours with a pinch of salt. That is what I have been doing all through my life.

We should never complain for such negative attitude of the people. Remember that every one could never be friend. Love is some thing more great. And here in this world every one is not great as the world love it self is great enough. If you are loving idol dont expect from others that they will also be like you. I found every one selfish here. such attitude of selfishness and greed is by birth. When a child could not get his or her feeder he start to cry and her or and his mom is available then she spare herself arrange to feed the child atonce. this is an example love of mother. Maternity love is pure and other's are artificial I think. And here on the earth is not every one like mom.

I do agree with you when saying that mother's love is one of the biggest love of all. But I like thinking that we can love each others ..of course it is difficult and it needs care and attention but we can...and I am still here hoping to find other people to love and by which I could be tenderly loved.

Yes. It is really hard especially the moving on part. I take every relationship very seriously. Because I am a real person. Eventhough I wish I could pretend to behave like this or that? I can't which I wish I can. But I am so real. I act the way I am. I show them the real me. But people were just created differently. Blessed with different personalities. I don't know. One thinking is enough anymore. Don't be bothered by a bunch of it. Just live life and go with the flow each day.

I appreciate our differences...world will be so boring, if we were all the same..but I wish people could be more careful when feelings are concerned and above all, I wish they didn't pretend to be something different from theirselves

Yes I feel very deeply about people and get hurt a lot. I am very sensitive and open my heart to people for them to hurt me. I am not so much a victim as I used to be. I have had to harden up for my own sake which is sad because people are like that. I've had friends who I wanted to be close friends and they didn't want that because they were older than me that upset me. I think you can be friends with people all age groups why does age matter?

oh you are right we learn how to protect ourselves and how to deal with our feelings but some things are very disappointing...of course friendship has no age, no colour and so on.

Yes, Maribea this has happened to me. Why is it that the people who need love and affection the most are rejected by other people? I am a lonely person. I am not the kind of person to do anything half way. Whem I love someone I love very deeply. It is too bad that there are not people other there in the world who will love me.

I am sorry to read your words..sorry to answer you so lately but I could not come here before because of my busy schedule at work..I am lonely, too this period of my life, but I am trying to investigate what happened in my life and if possible, I am trying to find a reason and to learn from what it happened. If you like I am here and i can offer you my friendship-

it's just perception. i dont know, maybe it's true that they kind of change from their warm self sometimes. it's because of familiarity, but it doesnt mean that the feeling that, that person has changed for you. i mean, there are times when i am just so tired that i turn cold towards my boyfriend, but it doesnt mean that i love him less. it's just that there are a lot of things that bothers us and are in the higher priority at the time. well, it's case to case basis though. i mean, it could be that the change in attitude and actions means something deeper. that the other person has gone cold. that there has been a change of heart. but whenever that happens i would be honest enough to tell my boyfriend about it. i cannot just let him expect. why? because i would want to be treated the same way, if he doesnt love me anymore he should tell me straight to my face! not that i will be waking up the nest morning thinking that he still loves me and the when the truth is, his world has been spinning around somebody else!:)

i do agree with you..of course we cannot be as perfect as we would..we don't always have as much time as we would for love and tenderness...but I was speking about the fact that sometimes people seem to love you and the very next day they are ready to do without you..this is something I cannot understand..maybe they have been thinking about leaving you a lot but this is even more painful..thinking they were thinking bad about you while they seemed to care for you..of course I prefer knowing the truth and I end up saying that I am lucky when I lose something who revealed to be different from the person i thought..but there is still pain in this thought and it is only something we need to carry on and learn from bad things

Yes, it did happen to me. We are very much alike in the feelings. As it is, i usually go home and meet my wife and daughter once a week. while at work, i always wonder how they are, wishing my wife give me a buzz, but no such luck. The fact is my cellphone rings at the time i am desperately in despair. As is my point, take life as it is that is always full of surprise.

Wow. This is so scary because I have the same exact thought. No, really I do. I agree with you totally. I'm a really loyal and devoted person. Sometimes people that I love treat my affections as if they're jokes. Are you an Aries? lol Just curious because I am. I wonder how can someone stops loving another person so easily though. I don't think those people know what "love" truly means. Teenagers, kids and even some adults use the word "love" so carelessly these days and it's not even sweet or funny anymore. Then again, I guess it depends on other people's definitions of love and relationship.

I do agree with you. Sometimes people don't know what love and affection really mean and they act in a very selfish and stupid way...
