Love is an element of life that cannot be ignored, just as the sun warms every living thing and guides us to move forward.
However, the situation is not so rosy, especially for women who suffer from the deprivation of love in middle age, and there may be significant shifts in their psychological and behavioral aspects.
Here are six characteristics of psychological and behavioral changes that can occur from a long-term lack of love nourishment, go and see if you have any of these manifestations.
Frequent ups and downs of emotions.
Middle-aged women who do not receive gentle attention and support for a long time may make their emotions fluctuate.
They may have violent emotional reactions to trivial matters due to a lack of emotional comfort and confiding in them.
It may be the inner feelings of loneliness and neglect that contribute to this emotional instability.
Weakened ability to build trust in others.
For those middle-aged women who have been lacking love for a long time, it may develop a habit of distrusting others.
Stuck with past hurts, they may have reservations about new relationships, avoid in-depth communication, or even keep a certain distance in interpersonal interactions.
Reduced sense of self-worth.
If there is a long-term lack of affirmation and encouragement of love, people's self-esteem will gradually be weakened.
Such middle-aged women may begin to doubt their own worth and feel that they are not needed and valued.
May feel a lack of self-confidence and fear of criticism and ostracism in work or social settings.
Excessive independence.
To avoid experiencing disappointment again, some middle-aged women may force themselves to be too independent.
They may refuse help from others to the point of having to take on everything on their own in difficult moments.
Such behavior often masks a fear of dependence, as well as a denial of one's own weaknesses.
Excessive obsession with the past.
Middle-aged women who have been lacking love for a long time may get stuck in memories of the past and cannot let go of past relationships and good times.
They may be overly nostalgic for a relationship that has ended, or they may be deeply scarred by the past, which makes it difficult for them to embrace the present and look to the future.
It is possible to overestimate yourself in the unexpected world.
When there is no inner support for love, some middle-aged women may pay too much attention to the opinions and evaluations of others.
They may strive to gain recognition and approval, even at the expense of their own needs and desires.
This outward focus is often a reflection of their inner emptiness and restlessness.
Love is like a lighthouse on the road of life, however, when the light of the lighthouse dims, we need to learn how to let our hearts burn with a warm fire.
For women who feel a lack of love in middle age, knowing themselves, loving themselves, and having the courage to seek change is the first step in illuminating the way forward.
Let's turn the shadow of "lack of love" into the power to grow, so that we can live a life that is true, fulfilling, and worthy of love.
