Modern Wisdom · Why Nobody Feels Loved Anymore - Sonja Lyubomirsky - #1115 · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

Because we learn not to be boastful.

And I remember I would come home and tell my family about some great thing that happened, maybe an award I got, and my kids would say, oh, mom, you're boasting.

And I'm like, if I can't share this with my family, who can I share it with?

And so we've sort of trained like not to boast.

And yet, of course, like we want to celebrate those things.

Right.

So and so, yeah.

And so we don't have as much practice both sharing and I guess reacting to those wins.

Great question.

And I get asked that question a lot where, let's say I'm doing all the right things.

So I'm sharing, I'm listening, I'm curious, I'm seeing you with a multiplicity lens, I'm listening with warmth and acceptance, and the other person just does not respond.

They don't return, they don't reciprocate, they're not curious about you, they're not listening, they're not sharing.

What do you do?

So...

I'm not a therapist.

I mean, therapists are very like, you know, they'll never sort of say exactly directly what they really think, I think, right?

Bluntly.

And I'll just say bluntly, maybe you need to walk away.

Maybe you've made a poor choice.

If it's a family member, yeah, probably you can't walk away, but just accept that you're not going to feel as loved as you want to feel by this person.
