I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved . . . the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave.
--George Eliot

We've all heard many times that we must love ourselves if we're ever to love another. Too often we mistakenly think that means we shouldn't need to hear someone's affirmation of love. That assumption is wrong. Praise from others builds our self-confidence, keeps us on track, aware of how we're presenting ourselves moment by moment.

But many of us didn't develop healthy egos in our youth because we didn't get feedback that affirmed us. We didn't hear we were loved. As adults, we're scrambling to feel confident, to feel sure of our direction and our value to society. And we're hoping to hear we're loved. We can be certain someone close will be helped by hearing our words of love.

There's no time like the present for sharing love.

Wish more people would share their love on the forums instead of the venom that spews forth occasionally.

Pat, I love these posts, and this one is awesome. I grew up only hearing I was loved from my father since my mother didn't know how to express it...and in fact, often expressed many negative things instead. I make sure I tell my sons often that I love them, as well as showing them, and because of that, they've grown up to be pretty secure teenagers to date. I also make sure that I tell my friends occasionally that I love them, because I know it's important to say it once in a while so that you never regret that you didn't say it at all.

To my friends here on CS, I love you. hug
