Looking for love in all the wrong places

We humans go crazy when we feel unloved, especially if we lack self-love, which most of us do. Lacking self-love, we look to others for the love that we need to validate ourselves.

In other words, Who We Are is dependent on getting love from others, so if the perceived love from others decreases, that means the loss of our identity, which turns us into fearful monsters who lash out or retreat in destructive ways.

Until we learn how to produce our own self-love, we are dependent on others for our sense of identity. That is why it is so important for us to love ourselves, and to give love to others.

Who is acting badly right now because you are not feeding them the love they crave? Whose love are you addicted to in order to maintain your sense of self?
