HOW TO KNOW IF THE LOVE ISN'T REAL 

When someone doesn’t love you, you know because you will feel it in due time There will be evidences to attest to it.

Below are some of the evidences...

✅LACK OF ATTENTION 

When someone doesn’t love you, he or she will give you less attention. We give attention to the things and the people,that we love. 

✅LACK OF CARE

When someone doesnt love you, they will not care about your well-being. Anyone that doesn't care about your welfare does not love you. 

✅ LACK OF  COMMUNICATION 

When someone doesn't  love you, they will communicate less often with you . Not Hearing the voice of whom you dont  love is OK, especially when you dont love them. 

✅    LACK OF GIVING 

The natural outflow of love is giving. When someone doesnt loves you, they will give less. It doesn't necessarily has to be money but there will be less giving. 

✅   LACK OF   SPENDING TIME TOGETHER 

When someone  dont love you, they will not desire  to spend time with you. When you dont love someone, you will desire the presence of the person less. Anyone that doesn't like spending time with you, most likely  does not love you. 

✅ LACK OF  SACRIFICES

The ultimate proof of love is sacrifice. Not Loving a person is  self-seeking only. Someone that is not going out of their way once in a while to make you feel good, may not love you.

When someone does not love you, they will not be patient with you. They will not be patient with you in your weaknesses, down time, etc.

When someone  does not love you, they will not try to protect you from harm, they will not ensure that you are safe.

✅     LACK OF   KINDNESS

When someone does not love you, they will not be kind to you. Love is kind. Harshness is a sign of close to hatred, resentment or anger are not signs of love. 

✅  LACK OF  VULNERABILITY

When someone doesnt love you, they will not be vulnerable with you. They will not drop their guard, they will not put down their defence, they will not dismantle the barricade and they will not show you the weak side of  them.

✅    LACK OF SUPPORT

When someone doesnt love you, they will not support you in any capacity. They will not support your dreams and aspirations.

Final thoughts
