Nah not cliche I agree and I def love myself 😭 it’s just definitely a difference of external vs internal love. I’ve loved myself fr and leveled up in every field so much in the last 5 years that’s why I’m still here, it’s just tiring doing it all alone

You shouldn’t have to “earn” someone’s love though..

Because love doesn’t require someone to perform

But nobody is owed love from anyone else, especially not romantically. And not everybody deserves romantic love either if they’re a horrible person. So if love isn’t deserved or owed or earned, how would you put it?

I think you definitely earn love. The only people who may truly love u unconditionally is ur family and even still that’s not always true. Romantic love is definitely conditional and proven, or maybe to put it better there’s certain expectations u gotta uphold like a nonverbal contract. Loyalty, compassion, financial stability. The majority of divorces are from financial difficulties

No one is owed love but everyone is worthy of love because humans innately have value. I

I think you guys have a horrible perception of what love actually is… because that’s not love. Standards are one thing but to love someone solely based on how they perform is so fucked up . It could never be me.

Everyone is worthy of love, absolutely. But not romantic love, and not from a specific person. I don’t think I’m explaining myself very well, but you’re not entitled to love from anybody you want. You can’t love someone and just expect that they’ll love you back because you deserve it or you’re owed that love. That’s why the friend zone doesn’t exist, because being in love with someone isn’t the default, you have to earn that.

I agree with some of what you said.. but I do think everyone is worthy of romantic love. Not with specific people though and you’re right, no is entitled to anyones love.. because *love is something that you give freely*, which is what my main point is.

I somewhat disagree with that because love is more complicated than that. You can’t choose who you’re in love with so it’s not freely held. Sure, you can choose to give someone your love IF you have that love to begin with, which you might not, because again love isn’t a choice.

I don’t necessarily believe in “being in love” because it’s mostly blinding idealization. I see love as a choice. Everyone has the right to make that choice on who they give their love to. It’s not something a person has no control over. Otherwise that’s not love, it’s an illusion and unhealthy attachment. I have always viewed love as freedom, so to me it is freely held.
