When someone truly loves you, they tend to show it through their actions, words, and consistency. Love brings a sense of security and clarity; it doesn’t leave you guessing. You can feel the effort, the respect, and the commitment, which makes you *know* you’re loved.
On the other hand, when someone doesn’t love you or isn’t fully invested, there are often mixed signals, inconsistencies, and a lack of genuine effort. This creates confusion because the signs don’t align with true commitment, leaving you uncertain and questioning where you stand. 1 reply
