Have you ever asked yourself this question "what must I do to hear I love you from someone else?" Sounds like a strange question but a relevant one.
I believe all people want to feel and know love in their lifetime. From our parents to friends to spouses to children it is nice to hear that people care about you and love you.
What I want to do in this article is focus on being the type of person that is easy to love. It is possible to be a person very hard for others to accept and love.
Look at some characteristics of a loving person;
1) Be fair - It is really hard to love someone who is judgmental and bias. People tend to gravitate more towards the person who can look at life and others with fairness. When they see that you constantly take only the sides you support, you are viewed as being unjust.
2) Be there - Nothing will prove to others that you are lovable than being there. My mother had this bad habit of always being there when we were sick or under the weather. You could look up from your bed of pain and see her face smiling down at you asking if you needed anything and reminding you that you would recover. I remember contracting pneumonia while in high school and every day in the hospital I would awaken to her face. I remember her telling my father (while they thought I was sleeping) "I am not leaving here until he knows that he is better." I believe these behaviors helped me to try to always be there for her as well.
3) Show you care - No one cares what you know until they know that you care. How do we do that? By showing concern for others. I believe that when you care for strangers and people who cannot give back to you that it shows a heart filled with compassion.
4) Beware of being too critical - Try not to show how much you hate things. We all have opinions about a variety of subject. Let your opinions be just that. Don't focus too much on trying to get the people around you to always see things your way.
5) Ask yourself if you are easy to love - Finally, consider what it is like living with you, being around you, just being your friend. Ask someone who will tell you the truth about what you see.
