Do not allow the fear of hurting stop you from loving.

About This Quote

If you are afraid of hurting someone else’s feelings, you will never be able to love. Before you can fall in love, you must first learn to love yourself. You must first learn to accept yourself as you are. If you are afraid that you may break the heart of the person that you love, then it is best not to fall in love at all.

I am sure that some of our readers have suffered from the pain of being in a relationship where the other person was only with them for their material possessions or for their good looks. You have no right to ask them to give up these things so that they can be with you.
