Have you ever wondered if you are genuinely lovable? Has anyone ever asked you if you know how to let love in? Has anyone ever really loved you?
If you are questioning any of these things, you might also wonder if you can be loved or not. From the time we are born, humans are innately lovable. But sometimes, the ways you received love and were shown love, or lack of love, from a very early age affects you for the rest of your life.
Suppose you are not consistently loved, and your needs are not consistently met by your parents/caregivers when you are a child. In that case, you may develop attachment issues that could, unfortunately, create feelings in yourself that you are not worthy of love, inadvertently making you unable to accept or trust authentic love.
Take this ‘Am I lovable quiz’ to find out how lovable you are.
