Do you feel overwhelmed by the presence of several near and dear ones who you feel truly love and care for you?What kind of a feeling is it?Do you thank God for it or do you sometimes feel stifled if someone is over-affectionate and over-possesive about you? Please share your thoughts.

In all honesty, I don't feel loved by anybody. Then again, most of the people I know have made it very clear that they hate me, so the few I know that might love me, well I'm constantly afraid they'll join the list of people who hate me, so I never really feel loved by them. I used to know somebody that I felt loved and cared about me, then she just walked out of my life all together, and now I know better than to think anybody gives a care about me or my feelings.

My mother has been always there for me and my brothers. We love each other, even though short fights are normal for boys, no stranger could touch my any of my brothers without us retaliating. Actually, we have a loving family and I feel so loved. When it comes to the community,then it becomes opposite of what I get my family- having too many don't that can make someone's life miserable. They expect a lot from us as we gain hardly anything from them. Its just hard dealing with elders of the community

Hi waflay, Nice to know that you feel or have felt loved by brothers and other family members. Yes bickering among brothers and sisters is not unnatural. There again, when you know that this or that person loves you and you too reciprocate, life is nice. But if they have a tilt towards rewards for their concern for you, better not be loved by them.

Yes, I certainly do feel loved by my family and closed friends. It's not something that I feel I don't have. It's not something that I ever felt that I was missing. I'm definitely lucky.

Yes. Sometimes, excessive attention made ??us feel not free, and disturbing. I am a person who is less attention, I really want to be considered. I want to feel, there is a concern to me. It's alive, very strange ....... There are people who feel disturbed, because of excessive attention .. There are people who feel like getting attention, by the people around him.

Yes! One feels like being leashed and that is not good. There is a family I know that express such like affection to their children, there is no freedom and talking to people is also forbidden I think. Its really sad that those children can not even play with other kids. ....Such life is just like a canary...loved but no freedom...

Hi oindy, This is my true confession that I have never felt loved by my relatives. This is true that when people get together on certain occasions I participate but the feeling of love percolating into my heart has never happened. No doubt my parents loved me but the antithesis is that they never showed their love neither with physical gesture or though any means. I, however, felt loved by a girl, some 18 years back and as the relation got broke up and she went off with somebody else the love feeling is not there. At present my son and my wife love me and that I can feel.

For me its not good that you gave to much love because some people abused what love you are given to them.Yes we really thank God when lots people gave love to you. It says its better love others than expecting love from other ,that could make too much pain for you.Every relationship could help you grow and strong enough.

I know my mother loves me - more than others. I like this feeling, she gives me all who can... And whe I was small she always do everything and give everyting. Now I have family, boyfriend and baby and now I can love my baby like my mother loves me.... I feel loved, but often I feel alone too...

Mother's love is so strong for most people, and such kind of love can not fade away in one's heart, that is why you often feel alone. But nope! You have a baby to love, and the baby loves you too. Cheers! sexyice

When I was young I was so shy that I just sat and listened. when I got older I felt invisible , now that was fun! I could do what I want and I felt I wasn't seen.Then later on I got to less shy and then it didn't matter. I have a small family and it is causal. When I'm with my guy I feel like I'm the only person in the world. His love is not over possessive.

I do feel loved by my family and it is a very pleasant feeling. Everyone in our family loves each other like many other families. With this love from the family, I work and live happily and feel that my life is meaningful and full of sense. Everyone in the family is so dear to me like I am dear to them.

I do feel loved at the moment, and I know that I am very lucky to have so many people in my life who are there for me now, and who I know will always be there for me in the future. You have to remember that nobody is forcing your family to be there for you, and the fact that they choose to do so is amazing because it means that they truly care for you and want you to have what's best for you. Some people in this world aren't lucky enough to have amazing people surrounding them, so we should be very thankful that we are lucky enough to have that.

I am not sure. I feel loved a few times, but mostly I don't feel that way. I feel like it's better if I did not exist. I guess it's also because of how our loved ones treat us. Or how we interact with them. I was trying to change my attitude before. But I heard my dad saying to my mom, "your daughter got her attitude from your family's side". And then my mom said, "why if it's something bad, you always say it's from my family's side". They did not care that I was there with them when they were talking about it. I bet they don't even remember about it, even though I have not forget about it. It's still fresh for me. Since then, I just could not care less about it. I don't give a darn about anything anymore. We are okay now, we are very close, but I still can't forget about it, and they still treat me like I'm an irritating child sometimes.

Everyday when i woke up in the morning i think that im glad to be awake and alive for another day and i think I have a lot of luck because i'll have the chance to be with the ones I love and that i know they care for me as well. What I feel when I'm with the ones i love is happiness and something like I'm being hugged and I feel worm and fulfilled.

I really dont understand about love. it means something you can imagine and forecast it. I used to fell love very much a person. She is always the best in my mind. But now, she often makes me feel sad and angry. Because I used to give her anything she likes. day by day, she would likes a lotof things and requests me to do all that. If I delay them, she becomes angry. Don't say to me anything. Why? It's not my fault. I love her very much but I can't do anything she needs. She have to do it by herself. it's too simple. Anyway, I still love her and intend to get married with her. Hope She understand it.
