And I must say that I've been the person who someone directed the hard work to, but i wasn't worth it.
I read some regret between the lines here... it's always worth! Keep in mind it is all a learning process, feelings and emotions have to be listened to, not suffer from. We have much to learn on the V4V model to be applied to every aspect of life, including these. We should always give, without expecting anything in return, if not the teaching provided.
A really important lesson I learned is that when you give some change to a homeless in need, you don't do it for the homeless, you do it for yourself.
Yep, when I experienced heavy loneliness I always gravitated towards bitterness, which is usually associated with regret feelings. I'm running away from it every day of my life ever since...that's one of the worst feelings a human being can ever experience, in my opinion.
I'm gradually understanding that relationships are a possibly th e only game where you can improve the understanding of yourself no matter what the outcome is. I'm trying to work on it as of now, that's painful and I have to remind it to myself basically every 12 hours. But I know that's a better approach than the regret approach.
I've no expectations from any relationship, from anything for what matters. I feel that this approach is what drives me mental when I experience loneliness...no expectations make me feel like I've no route to follow. I prefer to expect stuff, even if it can lead to delusion.

That's the trap! Expectations. Unconditional love will bring you much better results in the long run ;) and much more peace of mind when you know you are doing everything following your values instead of your feelings.
