'Love Balance' In Your Life?

By 'love balance' I mean how much love you give to others compared with how much you receive from others. Do you give more than you receive, equal or the other way around? For me I'd like to think it's about equal with my friends and family, though people don't always show their love explicitly, and I suppose neither do I. But I do know there are people who care for me, and I care for them in my own way.

 

I love everyone, but I don't really know how to give love. I'm not an exuberant person. I'm just kind of low-key, but I do care. And I'm a pretty lucky person, so I guess it's balanced enough.

 

i have no idea how "love" is "given" or "received" other then metaphorically.
i have a serious concern for what everyone else has to live in, for the possibly selfish reason that i have to live in it too.

as for the giving and receiving of affection, i just really haven't had that much interaction, in my life, with anyone, for most of a decade.
i've always wanted to give affection, but i also have to question how much of that is actually a voracious hunger to consume it.

 

I'm a fluent giver of different kinds of love to many people.
The love I give is tailored to the persons character in order for them to feel one-of-a-kind and special because they all are.

The love I receive back from others is always at different levels with no one being the same, which makes the love I receive intriguing and exciting to experience.

Love is by far and without a doubt my favorite emotion.

I crave love in relationships, animals , making people laugh/smile, hobbies, free time, my job and anything else I can find.

I love the fun and time it takes to find a special woman who can give me her equal love I give her. I won't stop til I find her and it will be a love story (the best kind there is).

 

I love to love.
I may give more than I receive.
I have so much, I like to spread love.

 

I try and give lots. But I've found humans are basically selfish. And that means family aswell. I've skinned my love to the bare bones of my woman, my daughters and grandkids. It's sad but nobody cares anymore.

 

maybe the point is the problem with expectation?

also i wouldn't really want to punch anyone in the face,
rather there are some perspectives some people have,
that would really not break my heart if they simply did not exist.

 

I never give expecting to receive.

 

Why would you not expect love as a good person? Then give love. Like a love virus. People that don't expect love. Usually don't get it back.

 

Yeah I'm not meaning I expect love. I've got myself the other way around. I usually do that. I'd rather give out and chill out. I don't expect anything. I think I've read this thread wrong

 

there are no good or bad persons. only what we do more or less of.
expectation is the root of disappointment. diversity is the nature of the universe, which is why it is unwise to have expectations.
if you want to live in a better place, you don't give in the expectation of return, you give anyway without expecting it.
that is actually logical though it might not superfiscially appear so.

 

People that break into others houses and break pets legs are bad bad people. You're delusion if you think otherwise.

 

It's happened very frequently in my neibourhood.

 

Bad people should be locked away and taught a lesson. If they come near me or my family. They get a bad person lesson.

 

and precisely how is that attitude not being exactly one more of the same?
good and bad are not sides, they are forms of behavior.
and narcessism IS the "bad".

 

Where in your life have you come to this decision? I wouldn't be comfortable with you in my town. But youre probably a keyboard warrior.

 

I dunno. I'm with Spider on this. I think I'd love to break the legs of a plb (pet leg breaker)

 

Nothing wrong with expecting love in my experience. It's expecting sex that's a bit touch and go so to speak lol
