According to attachment theory, genuine love is reflected in how someone responds to your pain, not just your presence.
When someone truly values your wellbeing, their deepest fear isn't losing acces to you - it's causing you harm.
But when someone only loves what you provide for them, they fear losing the supply, not hurting your heart.
This subtle difference reveals everything about whether you're loved for who you are or what you give. Notice which one
keeps them awake at night.
