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

Everyone is human! Sometimes we can be pushed a little to far even by the ones we love so much and "unconditionally" but over time we can forgive the ones we love and that is unconditional love.. But its normally to instantly feel hurt or angry and have resentment for some time if we are pushed too far, after all .. We are all human! Hope this helps xxx

I think that "unconditional love" is an active choice in every moment. One may choose to love unconditionally by listening deeply, recognizing their own shortcomings and humanity, and celebrating all the parts of those around them (the ones that they are proud of and the ones that they are not). Often, I feel like people get lost inside of themselves and forget that this is possible when they do not realize how big, wonderful, and infinitely interesting they are as an individual. The best way to receive unconditional love is to spread it; when people feel listened to and respected, they will know it is possible to share that gift with others. Show love, and you will spread love, and you will live in love, too

Do you feel like you can't give unconditional love, or like you can't find it? In the first case, you should give the love you're prepared do give in that moment. In a nurturing and equal relationship, that should increase as the trust and friendship become more solid. In the second case, I would say that we get the love we think we deserve, so it takes at least some introspection to be "prepared" for unconditional love. In any case, I don't think love should be unconditional per se. It can become so, but it takes effort and trust from both parts, and it can be built :)

I'm going paraphrase what I heard from a speech. People do not know what unconditional love is. If you stop stimulating an individual or you change to be a character they do not like or know. They may forget about you and not love you anymore as you are no longer the person they loved/ fell in love with.

Well mostly because we dont tend to believe things we can't see or to be quite to the point, things we 'don't' see. There's unconditional love right there in your family, between you and your mum, between a lot of others. If you're talking about unconditional love between a man and a woman, well thats rare but it does exist. It's just is too silent too come under the spotlight.

You might feel that way because you don't personally love yourself, so you make your mind believe that as well. It's sad, but mostly true. I've experienced it first hand. Because I never used to like myself, I doubted the love of others. Now I realise that's wrong and want others to know this too.

Because it doesn't exist... At least, not to my knowledge. In fact, pouring your all and everything into other people can sometimes leave you with nothing left to give. It might just be impossible to consistently love someone without a few minor or major bumps in the road. And that's ok. Love may not be unconditional, but it is abundant and it can be durable if you work for it. The goal shouldn't be for unconditional love that takes too much of you or the other person in the relationship, whether platonic or romantic. A polite suggestion would be to instead invest your time and work into yourself and a relationship, so that you and a partner can withstand any obstacles that threaten the relationship. Unconditional is also unrealistic. And I think it would be a most wonderful and beneficial thing to have a real kind of love in life.

Sometimes it can feel like unconditional love does not exist because you haven't felt that feeling yet. Or maybe you have, and the feeling has left between you and the other person. Either way, it is completely okay to feel what you need to feel. If you feel that unconditional love doesn't exist. Feel it. Embrace it if you need to. But just know that if you want unconditional love, it will come to you. So don't loose hope. Because you are destined to meet someone and have those feelings for them. And you will keep them close forever, and just hold them close to your heart. Because it happens to everyone. Even you. Because YOU matter.
