I need to know something, do you think my gut is right when its telling that i love people more than they love me? I ask because some times i think about this because my gut is telling that either i think my love is deeper or its not as Deep as i thought. So my brother with or with out drugs have belittled me for many years but he has taken up for me to when were younger. But not to long ago he started acting very crazy to me on cocaine and i would never do that. My sisters show me love it seems but they dont do things for me like i do for them. I have always taken up for my sisters but they act like they dont want to do the same for me. When i graduated high school my siblings got me nothing just my mom did! Some times i feel like they just act like they love me but in reality what would they do if i really needed them?
my friends dad gave his brother his kidney when his was failing but would my siblings do the same ?
i am just saying do you think my gut is right and i should just worry about my own life ? My cousin said he love me and that i am doing him wrong by not talking to him but how does he love me. When i was around him all he did was complain and yell and he used a bullying tone for nothing. Some times when i was with him he tried telling me what to do yelling Very loud like i am not an adult but a child. I would never do things like that and if i did i would have stopped if they asked but now my my cousin wants to change since i left him. I feel like he should have been stopped that years ago!! Why is it that i feel better now that i am not around them as much?

so if any one can answer me thanks.

You think too much.

Some people are givers - generous with their feelings, with kindness and favors. It may be that the people you are surrounding yourself with simply are not capable of demonstrating that type of affection.

Don't forget, too, that we all express ourselves differently. Perhaps they didn't buy you gifts for graduation, for example, but they took time to spend the afternoon with you. However, if they did nothing, then perhaps they just don't think of others.

Be fair about what you expect from people. Help others because you like to and because it makes you feel good, not because you will ever get anything in return.

From what you wrote, it sounds like your family is not very giving toward you and perhaps you need to expand your circle and spend more time with others. Make sure you attract quality people and not moochers.

You need to find someone to love you other than your relatives. Then the way they treat you won't bother you as much.

People will go as far as you let them in how they treat you. Sound like you should have changed this a long time ago. Try being independent of your family and do your own thing. How old are you by the way, and do you live with your parents? This info can help in the advice you are seeking.

In the dog world, whoever lets their butt be sniffed first is the submissive one.

Take from that what you will.
