It looks like people seem to like these, so I'll do some more in a few days. Thanks!

I feel like we need a collection of these that are about loving yourself and not someone else loving you. It's all some of us have.
PEEEEAAAAACCCHHHHH
That was one of my favorite collections of quotes. Just very mature and sweet. Made me smile. +1

That one hit home

Make sure you're with someone who loves the same things about you that you love about yourself. Anything else is asking for trouble.

That is very good advice

These are nice, but I wonder how creepy this would come across if you said it to someone.

I just went though a really rough break-up and this made me inconceivably sad.
kenenfuego
I'm sorry to hear that. But know that it WILL get better!
Bigdaddyxdizzle
You are not alone. If there is anything i can do let me know.
Bruuuuuuuuuh
Nah it's fine, thanks for the support though, both of you!

Much appreciated! Reading "word porn" under these is like being served a beautiful meal only to get a blob of mayo squeezed over it.

I still remember the hurt look in the man's face..who loved me. I didn't want him to love me, but he still did and instead of appreciating1

the fact that he loved me, i treated him horribly because i was foolish and "irritated" by his love, affection and kindness. his fault was2

that is pretty sad... hope that doesn´t happen to me

I went through a rough breakup about six months ago. This stuff finally made me smile to remember instead of sad that it's gone.

Thanks for this. It helps to hear others going through similar things and seeing that it gets better for them.

Hang in there man

Thank you. I'm doing my best but sometimes life does a good job of overwhelming you.

Part of the deal. Just gotta learn to take it and never let them see you sweat, and give some back
Assortedmeats
Fuck. My boyfriend just told me he needs to figure out if he still has romantic feelings for me today. These hit me hard :'(
rainaaide
Same. After he told me that, he's ignored me for 3 months w/out even telling me what we are. It's killing me:'( I'm here if you wanna talk.
kenenfuego
Yeah, if it's been 3 months, it's time to move on unfortunately. It's not fair to you for him to drag it out like that.
LBRlolzbbq
3 months ??? I think that's the answer , sorry :(
rainaaide
After dating for a year, I deserve to be talked w/ face to face. This is so fucked up. Started seeing a psych, I hope it helps:(
kenenfuego
If he has to think about it, then that's enough of an answer right there. Sorry!
saxon2060
My brother was open and honest with his ex and said something similar. She freaked the fuck out and cut him off instantly. Not saying it 1/2
saxon2060
is easy to hear but it seemed extreme. We all have wobbles. They could have worked out. If he knew he didn't love her he would have said. 2

The Bob Marley one got to me, I am in an abusive relationship and I wish I could tattoo this onto his soul!

That bob Marley one was great.

Pity that the font ruined it...
Painteagle
The Bob Marley one was my favorite.
HesAManiac
As someone in the awkward early stages of dating someone new that one has really made me see her in a new light, so thank you.
Surefif
That one actually made me stop reading and think/reflect for legit a few minutes. Easily my favorite.
IFellOnMyKeys
I did the same... Thinking of a few relationships, wishing I had heeded those words then, and wondering what could possibly be now if I had.
igerfoo
Too bad he was a complete dick to all the women in his life.

Ever heard the expression do what I say not what I do? Take what he said and apply it to your own life. Doesnt matter what kind of guy hewas

Talkers make me thirsty.

I always enjoy reading these but I never quite know what to do with the information.

Well put.

save it, use as inspiration for self-love, share with a partner if one comes across one

Try imagining the whole picture, then try living in that dream instead of reality.

Print those shits out and plaster your surroundings with it. Positive thinking is like taking showers, ...you need to do it daily or stink

Internalize it, have a vague sense that you're not living life to the fullest right now and you're not really changing anything.

As dumb as it is, because I am not a weak or easily swayed person, some of these make me want to try harder to be a better me.

That's crap, if there's room for improvement you're not the 'best you'. You might be a good you, a you you can stand to look at

in the mirror in the morning without wanting to vomit, you might even be a decent person. But if you can improve you're not the 'best you'.

I went ahead and cropped out the 'Word Porn' that nobody likes. Hope everyone enjoys!

I'm in love with you for that act.

Write some word porn about that love and OP will crop it out for you.
Leinad199
Like the quote word porn or like Erotica?

kenenfuego
Words does not equal word. And "word porn" is not on every single picture like it was before I cropped it out, that's the difference.
AneArashi
Which is awesome! Thanks for removing it.
ISuperBelieveInYouTadCooper

TheSaucyCrumpet
As an aside, I don't know why people are so reluctant to call "word porn" what it really is: poetry.

Makes such a huge difference! Very much enjoyed this!

So much better:) this makes me happy

What's wrong with poindexter

I like them all. Inspiring, healing, helps you see things better. Bob Marley quote rocks.

I'm SO glad you did! That term is very annoying

Loneliness can be a powerful motivator, it's why people who are abused keep going back to their abusive ex's. There's a reason you left

Stop showing me quotes that men will never say to or about me!! Jesus!

Oh. This made me sad, after all these quotes filled me with hope. Because I feel exactly the same way

4/? listens to what you're saying, and asks you to repeat something if they misheard or drifted off for a second, because they want to KNOW
nacanowhere
Someone asked me a long time ago to repeat myself, and when I said, Nothing, nevermind, they said Damn, I missed it. We are dear friends now

Yea, these are beautiful, but they seem more like the adult version of the Disney princess movies we all grew up with-unrealisyic

What nonsense. No one talks this way. No one SAYS these things, to anyone. These are written words, written and re-written and polished. 1/2
Dawnstempest
I do both... Am I no one?

You *say* other people's written words to people? In all sincerity?

Simple. Stop sitting on a shit website full of lonely, desparate people. Go and TALK to people. Show people you like that you like them

Umm, not sure. I guess just keep trying. I think most guys would say these things, but are afraid to look like less of a man if they do.
AbsentaneousMind
Define a "man". If so, how does expressing feelings make someone less of it?
ThisTimeItIsForKeeps
I wish society said it was okay for guys to say these things. But thank you for an amazing post that hit closer to home than I'd admit.
kenenfuego
You're welcome! And I agree. I'm older, so if I feel something, I'm not afraid to show it. Maybe its just a matter of maturity.
AbsentaneousMind
4/4 actual real life people. In REAL LIFE, not the fucking internet. That is how you meet people. And find someone you want to be with.

Eh i was just seeing someone i liked. Till I learned he wasnt serious. Wanted booty. Back to the drawing board!

I wish I had something profound to say to that, but I don't. All I can say is don't give up just cuz of him.

Arguably nothing can be said that would help her. She's wants something special and she's actively trying to find it. That's noble in itself
