I don ' t know about anyone else but I didn ' t enter my current relationship expecting that the other person was going to be responsible for my own happiness . I ' m pretty observant and I started seeing a trend with some of the happiness people I have ever met in my life . They attracted a lot of other people towards them because they themselves were extremely pleasant to be around . Nobody wants to be friends with a person that is bitter and unhappy , so with that in mind we can ' t expect that this sort of person to be in healthy , significant , and lifelong relationship with someone else . If other people are telling you that you deserve love , and you are actually upset about it , then you are an unpleasant person to be around and I wouldn ' t want to be friends with you or even consider being in a relationship with someone like you . Think about it . Work on your selfesteem and learn how to love yourself . You deserve it . If you keep it up you will find someone great . I guarantee it . I don ' t love people that don ' t love themselves . It just doesn ' t work that way . Practice selfcare , gain confidence , and love yourself so someone else will too .
