Q&A for How to Be Loved

If the people in your life are hating you and letting you down, you have the wrong kind of people in your life. Make new friends, cut yourself off from toxic family members if you must, and only associate with people who are kind and supportive.

Then that someone doesn't really want to be in a relationship with you, the person wants to be in a relationship with a fantasy image of you. Your lifestyle is a big part of who you are, and if the person in question can't accept that, then it's not the right relationship for you. While compromise is a part of any good relationship, people shouldn't change who they are, what they enjoy or how they live to suit a potential partner.

It doesn't matter whether you're wearing glasses or not. If you have feelings for someone, be direct and tell them that. Ask them if they feel the same way.

Yes. Anybody can be loved, and for who they are.

Some of us are born to two caring, loving and supportive parents, some of us have one, and some of us have the misfortune of being born to two parents who are self-obsessed and uncaring. Unfortunately, there's no test for emotional and psychological stability that parents must take before having a child. The most important thing to realize is that this isn't your fault, and the second most important thing is that no matter how hard you try to make your parent love you, if your parent is psychologically damaged, there's nothing you can do to make it happen; your love can't fix the parent, only therapy can. So stop trying; as much as the situation sucks, your efforts are in vain--instead, redirect those efforts toward making yourself happy. Try the methods in Deal with a Narcissistic Parent and realize that there will be many others in your life who will love you, just for being you.
