Have you ever told yourself, \u201cI want to feel loved by someone\u201d? The statement is much more common than you think since the desire to feel loved is a fundamental human need. Wanting to feel loved by your husband, partner, friends, or family is a natural desire and an essential part of your emotional well-being. It plays an important role in your feelings of self-esteem and self-confidence. Unless you are in an incompatible relationship, one of the reasons you feel you are not receiving love in your relationship stems from your inability to love yourself.<\/p>\n

In this article, we speak to Jui Pimple<\/a> (MA in Psychology), a trained Rational Emotive Behavior Therapist and a Bach Remedy practitioner who specializes in online counseling. According to Jui<\/a>, this inability to love ourselves stems from a lack of self-acceptance. Self-acceptance requires learning to accept ourselves the way we are, including our thoughts, feelings, and physical self. Let\u2019s go about this journey together.<\/p>\n

Why Do I Struggle To Feel Loved?<\/h2>\n

We all need to be loved, whether or not we admit it. Wanting to feel loved by your husband or partner and not getting that love can be painful, and life can be lonely and empty without it. A recent statistical study<\/a> shows that 43% of people between the ages of 18 to 25 report that they feel unloved; 80 % of people below the age of 18 responded that they feel lonely.<\/p>\n

Feeling unwanted<\/a> or unloved is an emotion that can also be caused and influenced by several other factors. Recognizing the validity of these feelings and how they can affect you is important. The causes of these feelings can be varied and unique to you as an individual but with several common underlying factors. The answer to the concern \u2013 how to feel loved in a relationship \u2013 can be more easily understood if one were to gain an understanding of those factors.<\/p>\n

1. Past experiences contribute to self-esteem issues<\/h3>\n

Our past experiences can powerfully impact our ability to feel loved. Romantic relationships that have gone sour, romantic partners that have cheated, childhood neglect, and other emotional trauma can cause wounds to our psyche. These wounds act as barriers to our ability to feel loved.<\/p>\n

2. In turn, low self-esteem doesn\u2019t make you feel appreciated<\/h3>\n

A negative self-image can make you feel that you are undeserving of love. \u201cHow can your partner love you if you do not love yourself?\u201d \u2013 People say this sometimes. It\u2019s unfair because having low self-esteem is not a \u2018fault\u2019 and it\u2019s no reason for someone to not love you.<\/p>\n

Low self-esteem<\/a> is merely one of the reasons that one FEELS unloved. Even when showered with love and affection, it can make you feel unworthy of it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. You may have an inability to be vulnerable\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Being vulnerable with your partner or loved ones is essential to giving and receiving love. But the fear of getting hurt can prevent you from becoming vulnerable and sharing openly with those closest to you. You may even find difficulty in expressing appreciation toward others, which in turn prevents you from engaging completely with your partner. All of this makes you feel isolated from them, and thus impacts the way you perceive yourself.<\/p>\n

4. Having unrealistic expectations can make you feel like you don\u2019t belong with others<\/h3>\n

Unrealistic expectations<\/a> of what love should be like and how a person in love should behave or feel, often colored by today\u2019s media, can lead you to be dissatisfied in a real-world relationship. This dissatisfaction may be a cause of your inability to feel loved.<\/p>\n
