How do you allow people to love you without feeling like you owe them?

[Justneedtokno]

Like accepting gifts and accepting the compliment accepting the help

[IslaTheWitch]

I can't see how those things relate to each other... and an unrequited love is a very painful experience...

if they couldn't help themselves, I would suggest a total contact cut...

By paying back the favor, buying them gifts, complimenting them, helping them out etc.
At least that is how I am.

[ProbablyClueless]

I have always taken the approach of paying stuff like that forward.

[Grond21]

You don't have to earn love. It's not transactional

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Rectify that your relationship with your family was extremely transactional rather than unconditional

[NathanDavis]

love has nothing to do with gifts...

[Wiredone]

I don't expect anything from my family. They are the only ones that truly love me

[moneymagnet24]

Gifts and compliments are bribe to get girl. on bed...

[Agape93]

Just how I am. I don't care

[Jennz6]

If they make love with me they owe me
