Don’t take someone seriously who makes you feel like a joke. Don’t give your all to someone who gives you nothing at all. If love is not mutual, neutral and dual, then you are on the threshold of emotional abuse. Love should be a profitable labour not a one-sided endeavour.
Your duty to love them must be reciprocated by their duty to love you back. Love is given according to the value one places o…n another, don’t devalue yourself by loving another more than they love you. If they are struggling to love you… Don’t struggle trying to make them love you. When your personal worth is at stake, being alone is a wiser choice than being with another because if someone doesn’t understand your value, they will neither appreciate or understand the value of your love.
