As much as you desire love, you have a difficult time accepting affection and nurturing from others.

In other words, you don't expect to receive support and love. The roots of this attitude have to do with the relationship with your mother.

You are very sensitive to judgments and rejections and would do anything to avoid a direct confrontation that triggers those feelings. Also, you don't open up easily to show your feelings to others, fearing rejection.

Looking for approval can transform into needy behavior and you might cede easily to others to feel loved, or you might use your charm and understanding of people's emotions to manipulate them.

Also, you might use your seductiveness and sensuality to satisfy your needs for emotional closeness and acceptance, but if you have sex without emotional engagement, often you regret it.

Reverting to overeating or overspending to compensate for emotional issues is another way to feel a sort of inner security.

The suggestion here is to expand your awareness about your issues and your beliefs that you aren't loved. Begin with self-love by respecting yourself and not giving your power to others for the sake of being accepted.

You need to be loved as you are, not bending to others' needs. This starts by accepting yourself as you are, including your human vulnerabilities.

Then your natural compassionate, supportive, sensitive and kind nature will manifest in its best.
