About This Quote
Many people believe that the more attention they show their loved ones, the more affection they will receive from them. In fact, this is a myth. The reason people give so much attention to their loved ones is that they want them to feel good about themselves. When you give extra attention to someone because you think this person needs it, then all you are doing is making your loved one feel guilty for not being good enough.
