7 Ways to prove your love without saying those 3 little words
The editor's opinion

How can you reassure your partner of your feelings without saying 'I love you'?

It is important to express one's love, spontaneously, through words (not only "I love you", but for example "I feel good with you"), gestures, daily attention, gifts... The more you express your emotions, the more it enriches the relationship, encourages the other person to also express what he or she feels, and facilitates communication within the couple. To encourage the other person to express his or her emotions, express them sincerely and spontaneously as often as possible.

1. Give them adoringly cute looks

Look at your partner with affection, especially when you first wake up. This will reassure them of your feelings and make it clear that despite their flaws, you still accept them. It will also encourage them to act natural with you. After all, the eyes are known as the windows to the soul.

2. Be unconditionally supportive of them

Whether you dream of starting your own company, have to move miles away to do so, know that I’m behind you every step of the way. I am ready to do anything in order to help you achieve your goals, and I’ll do everything in my power to turn your dreams into reality. I want to be a springboard to your success and will act like a teammate you can count on.

3. Listen actively to them

In a relationship, communication is paramount, and listening is just as important as talking. You don't have to say "I love you" when you know I'm supportive and considerate, I am. Whether you want to tell me how awful your day was, or about the last book you read, I’ll be there for you.

4. Show them meaningful attentions

If I made a declaration of love to you every time I wanted to take care of you, believe me, you would probably soon have enough of it. Every time, I say, "Be careful when you go home alone. "Aren't you cold?" "I'll help you carry this! "I disguise these as "I love you". Count them, and you'll see!

5. Share your space

There's a difference between making someone feel cared for and invading their living space. Good balance is indeed one of the secrets of lasting relationship, and I'm always happy to share my time with you and offer you some.

6. Being spontaneous and fun

Be it through post-it notes left all over your apartment, or a last-minute invitation to dinner, I am in fact showing you that I care about you and what we have. After all, who doesn't feel treasured when they find a "Have a nice day!” left on the fridge? Personally, I find that actions speak louder than words.

7. Show them tender gestures

Some people prefer to hold their partner's hand in the street, or even caress their shoulder or the back of their head when they are close by... By being tactile, cuddly and demonstrative, I am showing you my affection for you.

The editor’s advice - Overcoming the fear of those three words

Some people are dying to say these words, but they get stuck in their throat. Psychologist Claude Allais explains that this blockage is due to an inner conflict, he explains: "The desire to express love is inhibited by fear. Fear of being judged, despised, enslaved or experiencing a sense of abandonment is what drives many people to implement avoidance strategies."

While waiting to be fully reassured about the sincerity of a partner, people often resort to gestures or attentions to express their feelings. However, the problem persists, especially when we are convinced that for love to be true, we need to constantly fall over each other and shout about our feelings from the rooftops.

Alain Delourme, offers this solution: "Say what you feel. Your beating heart, the desire to embrace your partner, to make plans for the future... Welcome what comes and goes, without feeling forced to say anything." Your partner will in turn be reassured, and you will be able to move forward together.

🤗 Understand yourself, accept yourself, be happy... Let’s do it here and now!

What Makes A Narcissist Panic?

Dealing with a narcissist is never an easy feat, but understanding what makes these toxic personalities tick is key to avoiding their poisonous grip. Now, although these folks like to make people believe they have everything together and are untouchable, the truth couldn't be any further from this false reality.

Although they want people to believe that they are strong and resilient, there are certain things that make them sweat and definitely keep them up at night. Discover the 5 things that send them into panic mode.

8 Reasons Why All Narcissists Are Hypocrites

If you know anything about narcissists, you'll surely be aware that they are extremely overly judgmental and critical, especially towards other people. Their faultfinding stems from their perception of ultimate superiority, and therefore legitimizes them in holding people to intimidatingly high standards 👑. However, although they may believe they are pretty much perfect, the reality couldn't be any more different, yet they are slightly more forgiving with themselves. That's right, they are huge hypocrites and go from one extreme to another in a split second. Here we discuss the reasons behind their hypocritical behavior.

Do Narcissists Fear Intimacy?

This will probably come as no surprise to most of us, but in case any of you have a few remaining doubts, know that a relationship with a narcissist is nigh on impossible for a number of reasons. Now, we know that people with this personality disorder lack empathy, and aren’t exactly faithful in relationships, but what if all of their romantic shortfalls were down to them being afraid of intimacy and looking weak? 😨 Let’s explore this theory together and jump into the psyche of these dangerously toxic personas.

What Is The Tinkerbell Effect In Psychology?

Brilliant, ambitious, perfectionist... These words correspond to some people, especially women, who suffer from “Tinkerbell” syndrome. But as in all fairy tales, there’s a dark side... Just like Peter Pan’s fairy, they try to impress and are perpetually unfulfilled, compulsively seductive, and even manipulative 🧚. Psychotherapist Sylvie Tenenbaum coined this term after noticing that some people were obsessed with appearances and success. Let’s explain.

Who Do Narcissists Target?

If reading up on narcissists terrifies you, you probably already realize how dangerous their toxic personalities can be. Although, that being said, I’m probably going to add to the list of reasons as to why you should be ultra wary of these abusers, by revealing who they prey on. One thing that can be said about narcissists is that they certainly aren’t predictable people! 😱 Plus, spoiler alert, they don’t necessarily always choose to emotionally abuse seemingly weak people, no, in fact, they often choose bigger fish to fry because they love a challenge. Discover the types of personalities they hone in on and why.

Are Covert Narcissists Dangerous?

The concept of covert narcissism, or as it’s also known, ‘vulnerable narcissism’ is a fairly recent one. Now, these terms may seem pretty harmless, but the reality couldn’t be any more serious. The truth is covert narcissists present themselves to the world as anxious, socially uncertain, sullen, and withdrawn, yet, in actual fact, they share the same grandiose and unemphatic traits as their exhibitionist counterparts 😱. That’s right, these folks are just as equally skilled in the dark arts of manipulation as overt narcissists, although, they tend to hide their true intentions with more finesse, making them even more dangerous. Learn here why they are so dangerous, what they do, and what they say.

Are Narcissists Lonely?

Loneliness is one of society’s biggest enemies, and none of us are exempt from it, not even the most devilish of narcissists out there.

Now, lots of us would no doubt immediately assume that narcissists are too independent and strong-willed to feel alone, however, the truth is they are often the biggest victims of loneliness, yet simply have trouble expressing their inner malaise.

Are Narcissists Insecure?

There is no denying that narcissistic personalities display some deeply worrying and disturbing traits, but what if these devious traits were just a means of protection? What if they were in fact a complete facade, fabricated to keep people away, in the hope of hiding their deepest darkest insecurities? 😱 After all, everyone has weak spots, even the most confident and put together of people, so why wouldn’t a narcissist deal with the same niggling doubts as everyone else? It's time we got to the bottom of this and discovered why these folks are so insecure.
