Everybody has a different criteria to say if someone loves someone else, or how to know.
Most people say it is a feeling. And truth be told, when you actually love someone, it does feel gentle, and expansive, and warm.
But that is not my question, or not really.
How do you know if someone loves YOU?
You definitely can’t feel it. Love is not an energy, even if some guru said that it is. So how do you know?
And here is where your definition, cultural and personal, comes to play.
Landmark Education’s definition is “love is a commitment to love… regardless of behavior, regardless of circumstances”
they also have another one, saying “love is accepting another exactly the way they are and exactly the way they aren’t”
And I have been experimenting with both definitions, and neither one gives me access to know if someone loves me or not.
Remember, the question isn’t whether I love you, or whether I know I love you… No. The question I am asking: how do YOU KNOW that someone loves you… very different question.
