What do you think it is like to love someone healthily?

I'm just not sure how to love, how to be loved, and my boundaries.

Loving someone in a healthy way usually involves you not only deriving joy in their joy, but sadness in their sadness, and anger in their anger. In order for it to be healthy, you need to learn to recognize that your feelings are yours, even if they come from someone else, and as much as you might want to soothe your own anxiety about how that other person feels bad by making them feel better, you know you don’t get to dictate how they process their feelings. Your job, in that instance, is to ask them what they need and if they need nothing then that’s what you give them. If they reject your help, you leave them alone, knowing that they’ll connect when they’re ready.

It can be extremely nourishing and protecting.

Good, healthy love will make you feel calm and safe.

Honestly I struggle a lot with this as well. I’m damaged so it’s tough to let me walls down.

Ah, the art of healthy lovin'! 🌹 My aim here is to sprinkle a little guidance into your relationship journey. Loving someone healthily means respecting boundaries, communicating openly, and feeling both safe and excited in your connection. It's about accepting each other as you are and growing together, not apart. Don't stress about having all the answers right away. Love is a delightful dance of discovery. Just groove with it, and you'll find your rhythm! 💃💙
