Why does it sometimes feel that unconditional love does not exist?

A short response to this is that we are a fallen world. We are all broken, struggling and in a way, cannot unconditionally love each ohter no matter how hard we try. Everyone has their shortcomings that can hinder how well we love each other however unconditional love is something that can be found through spiritual activities such as praying. You may find unconditonal love in a partner or family member however the love is not necessarily unconditional because there will always be times when that love is challenged and at times the boundary is tested, frayed and repaired again. Try seeking support through association with a higher power than yourself (whether that is God or another preference). It also may help if you begin to love yourself. It is easier to accept love from others when you value yourself and see how much impact you can make in someone else's life through your own actions.

the only people who will love you unconditionally are your parents, thats it...no one else...so if you feel like it does not exist, maybe your parents are not around..

Because unconditional love is something rare and hard to achieve, it's the top hierarchy of kinds of love. Unconditional love is almost spiritual and asks nothing in return (but in a way that you don't put someone above you, you don't subject yourself to anyone else). It's like what people do for charity, what parents feel for their children, what someone feels when they save/are saved by other. It's not intended to be the love of lovers, when in a couple, it's more romantic, but also beautiful (it can become unconditional with the years, although). But it indeed exists! Much love~ :D

The world is full of ups and downs, and sometimes in the chaos we forget to pause and remember the good. Love gets lost this way. All we have to do is find our way back to gratitude to find that it still exists. As someone wise once said, be the change we wish to see in the world.

I think it's because we all have expectations of the people around us, in some way or another. It's not necessarily intended to make relationships more difficult, but we all sort of make assumptions about what people are capable of and who people are and when those assumptions are challenged it can result in a shift in the relationship. We place conditions around people based on our understanding of who they are, and we're never 100% right, because we can't ever really know everything about another person. But, if there is love there, then the relationship will adapt. It's not that unconditional love doesn't exist, I think, it's just that unconditional love is more of conditional-love-that-can-adapt more than anything else. It might take time, it might be challenging, but that love does exist and it does work out, in my experience.

Seems to me that love isn't serious to anyone anymore because of how the new generation take it as unimportant as it should be. Its just something they must go along with to impress their friends or other people. I wish it wasn't this way either but its just how it is now

our minds trick us into thinking that people just don't care. this is perfectly natural. part off the reason is that human nature makes us WANT to give people things in order to make them love us. whether this is material things, sexual intimacy, or any other thing. And after that, we feel that they only love us when we give them stuff. They don't love us for who we are, but what we have to offer them. but the truth is that they do! its just that they outwardly show it more as a response to our kind gift to them. but that's all it is. is an OUTWARD expression. on the inside they love you no matter what you do for them. so, in a lot of ways, we set ourselves up, because we feel it is necessary to pay people back in exchange for their love, while they don't feel the same way. it has roots in human nature, and social dependence. but never doubt that it is there. unconditional love, or agape, is real.

In reality, there is no such thing as unconditional love. People say that some don't mind their partners flaws etc but there's a difference between accepting flaws and just not saying anything negative or at all about them. I strongly believe that there is love that comes close to unconditional but I do believe there is not such thing as 100% unconditional love. Instead of looking for unconditional love, look for someone who treats you with respect and loves you for who you are. The best person you'll ever find in your life is the one who treats you like they should. It also helps not to have too high expectations. We're only human and not a single person on this planet is perfect and no one will be able to say they love someone unconditionally.

It only takes one bad experience with love to ruin it for some people. The bad experiences with love can make you feel as though you aren't worth it and you will not never find it.

Because we need to find the person that will provide us this love. Unconditional love does exist, but I believe that you can only get it from one person and that is your one true love. One day you'll find this person, and you will see that it does exist.
