Do you know what it feels to be loved?

How can I be shown love if it wasn't shown to me as a child? My parents paid attention to me, paid the bills and everything but I feel the emotional side was lacking.

I know my parents love me because they show it in everyday things, but the only time I've ever "heard" my parents tell me they loved me was when I was a few years ago when I accidentally left my poems on queue to be printed on my dad's printer and he read them (he wasn't supposed to, they were pretty sad, and written when I was at my worst). I was sort of sleeping and he came in my room, and I could hear him sort of crying, and so he grabbed the first thing he could find to write on (a pizza box, interestingly enough), and wrote "your poems are beautiful, [my name]. I love you very much, son.", and left the room.

He doesn't know this, but I used a box cutter to cut out that part of the box and now it's glued to the side of my book cabinet.

However, I do believe that I lack certain skills in the love department (showing love without appearing to be over the top, or not enough). I don't resent them at all for it, it's just how they were raised too, and they show their love in different ways regardless.

I feel the same way. Especially with my father. But I wish to learn to sincerely love others too. I feel so schizoidic at times.:sad:

my problem is most people dont even seem to LIKE me. no matter what I do, most people act like its practically a chore to hang out with me. like im some kind of annoying burden or something. Thats why I generally prefer to be by myself. being around people that dont want you there is just depressing. iv become accustomed to the idea that most people would rather not talk to me anyway.

...anyway, LOVE is a whole nother ball park I guess...I still need to figure out how to be LIKED.
