What’s it like to have someone who genuinely loves you?

No one has ever genuinely loved me. Not friends, family, or romantic relationships. I feel misplaced. Like I don’t belong anywhere. Like no matter how hard I try I will always end up alone. What’s it like to not feel this way?

What makes you feel that nobody has genuinely loved you? Not everyone is good at expressing such things. And some people are inherently bad at caring for the things they do genuinely love.

It's near impossible to know the heart of another. I believe a lot of people do not recognize they love they receive because it is not in the form they would expect.
