Love is a basic and universal need, despite the fact that not all people have the same ability to express feelings and share how they feel. On more than one occasion, those people who are apparently cold are the ones who most need affection and affection.
The truth is that emotional deficiencies they can come from childhood, a period of life that leaves a remarkable mark on adulthood. For example, those children who lost their mother or father at a very young age may have a kind of inner emptiness. It is not that this void is very great, it is simply about the imprint left on the soul of having lost such an important person as a parent.
Affective deficiencies should only give you information about yourself, But what you should not do is take these deficiencies as a form of protection to distance yourself from others for fear of suffering again. This is how those people behave who, after having suffered a significant heartbreak, deny themselves the possibility of trusting another person in the future.
Affection is more than necessary to be able to reach the emotional well-being. Therefore, you must not only receive affection but you must also give it since one of the keys to any type of relationship is based on reciprocity and equity. You must overcome barriers when it comes to learning to say I love you, thank you, or express feelings that will help you feel better about yourself.
The love ennobles the soul of people. But sometimes, depending on the education a person has received, it can be more or less difficult to share feelings.
