The most loving thing someone ever said to me was, “You don’t have to be perfect to be loved; just be yourself.” It hit me because sometimes, we forget that the people who truly care about us aren’t waiting for us to be flawless they just want us to be real.
“You’re going to an amazing mother and I honestly couldn’t see myself having children with anybody else. But I’ll chose you over having children if that’s what you want” – I was having a rough time with my anxiety and thought it would be better if I didn’t have kids. I told my fiancé that he could leave me if he wanted kids and he said this. I’ve never felt more loved.
I’m in a much better place now after getting the right help and we’re expecting. I still thank him for sticking by my side.
I shared a childhood trauma that had deeply affected me—just the basics, nothing too detailed. She sat with it, and then reflected it back to me with such depth and emotion that I was absolutely stunned. In that moment, I felt completely seen, understood, and accepted. We read each other like open books.
“I know your old friends just brush off your problems. I know that you’re all too familiar with not being heard and not being understood. That’s why I hope you feel that we, here, pay attention to you. We notice.”
This was when they called me out for being too sacrificial and people-pleasing.
‘The love that you give me is love in it’s purest form, the kind most people don’t experience in a lifetime. I’m not asking you to marry me as it’s not the time for that, but I do want to have vows written up. Here, you can have a rock for that memory.’
That rock literally beams in my hand. He put so much love into that.
I (M30) had a glow up recently. I am in decent shape now and basically everyone of my friends is giving me compliments.
My best female friend ofc said I did good at first. But then she pointed at someone whos in better shape than me and basically told me: This is your next step.
And I love her for that. I love the fact that she knows me well enough to just know thats what I wanted to hear. She knows that I dont see this as a negative comment and she wouldn’t say this, if she didnt believe that I can do it. I shook her hand and said: Give me one year.
My shape has improved more since that moment (4 weeks) than in the last 4 months. Stuff like this gives me the energy to never half ass my diet / workouts.
My guy best friend, “I’m happy that you’re happy, but I wish I was the one making you happy”. Said this the day before I got with an ex of mine and at the time I was pissed caused I loved this guy for years and he didn’t confessed that he loved me for years as well until I forced myself to move on. I think what made that statement so loving for me was the fact he thought I was asleep when he said it, he confessed to me on the phone when he thought it was just him talking to himself.
When I was struggling with infertility, my grandmother held my hand and said ‘Some women are meant to be mothers in different ways.’ A year later, I adopted my amazing daughter.
“I’ve got you”. After years of being single and having to do everything for myself, it made my heart melt. I am proud of my independence but it felt so good to be able to just turn that mode off for a few moments. But saying loving things doesn’t equate to actual loving.
the girl i have been crushing on and always admire since my year one in the university but i was too afraid to tell her because I’m broke, she finally told me ” I love you”
It’s hard to choose. I asked my 8 year old son what he wanted the most, in the whole world. He then asked me what I wanted. So I tired to tell him several generic things like I want daddy to be happy, I want you to be happy etc. then he said, what do YOU want mom? I told him I want to go on a big vacation this year and for everyone to be happy and have a good time. He said, then that’s what I want. I just want you to be happy mom.
He says stuff like that often. He’s a very sweet kid, huge heart, very empathetic. He gets it from his daddy, he also says very loving things as well.
Had a guy appear in my DMs randomly, we became good friends and he fell in love with me. I was tryna push him away and even ghosted for a bit, but eventually I opened up to hi. That I’m dealing with a lot of trauma since I’ve never had a good relationship in the past, and he said we’ll work through it together.

I always support you no matter what what

That when you accept that the world is not here to fulfill you, you learn how to give to the world without loss to yourself.
Meow.
Oh you touch my tralala. Mmm my ding ding dong
I do
‘I’m proud of you. Never change’
Let’s lie on the bottom together
Your smart asf

My partner of 42 years said “I love you” just before we went to bed. Then he died unexpectedly during the night.
That I’m the best mum ever. Hits differently when it’s from your little people 🥰

I’m only yours
“Just marry me so you can get on my health insurance” he said, while I was laying in a hospital bed with a chronic illness, uninsured.
I love you.
“Your eyes can make even death beautiful. I think you might be the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen.”
Lol that kind of got stuck with me
Really? I love pineapple on pizza as well!
“Sometimes I just know what you need.”
“I know your old friends just brush off your problems. I know that you’re all too familiar with not being heard and not being understood. That’s why I hope you feel that we, here, pay attention to you. We notice.”

“I forgive you”
“I love you to infinity and beyond” because my great aunt loves me that much
Reading this just makes me realise I’ve only ever dated unromantic schmucks
I don’t know tbh. The most I would get is a simple “I love you,” which doesn’t always feel genuine depending on the person who said it.

I won’t repeat it here but it was my Mom and she was the best.

You can put it in anywhere you like

I got told to take a bandaid off that was hiding a big self inflicted burn wound. Hit me in a weird way.
My friend told me ,they became a better person because of me and honestly that just made me want to become a better version of myself
“You’re so much bigger than Naeraee!”
„Being with you feels different“ then justified right after „good different!! Not bad different!“
“Everyone deserves kindness and compassion.” After I did something really really shitty to them.
No one said loving things to me
“You don’t have to be perfect, you’re perfect for me”. My wife, a few years ago, when I really, really needed to hear that.
the girl i have been crushing on and always admire since my year one in the university but i was too afraid to tell her because I’m broke, she finally told me ” I love you”
