Yeah, I relate to feeling this way...

But honestly? Everyone is worthy of love, just sometimes our definition of "love" is kinda murky.

And then, yeah, everyone is worthy of love... but not from everyone else, you know what I mean?

If someone says they love you but you don't feel loved, that's another thing too. For example some people say "I love you" to a lot of different people so when they say "I love you" they kinda mean "I love people [in general]"

Love the word does not always equal love the emotion. Also there are many different kinds of emotional love.

So really, it's subjective.

It's hard to define your worth by a feeling.

I prefer to focus on whether or not people will support me in accomplishing my goals rather than thinking about whether or not they love me. The latter is just too nebulous to pin it down. IMO enjoy it when you feel it, try not to sweat it when you don't.

But then it's another thing when you have a chronic feeling of being unloved. That's not the same as just not feeling loved.

A chronic feeling of being unloved is actually loneliness. But loneliness is mostly a product of either not knowing what you want or not knowing how to/not thinking you can accomplish it. So being loved won't really make that feeling go away.
