Complaints of being unloved are common with EIPs. It’s their central wound and greatest fear. Perhaps something went wrong early in their life, making them feel unsafe and insecure. Perhaps fears around goodness and lovability make them worry that they won’t be valued or taken care of. As a result, they’re hyperalert to signs of untrustworthiness, infidelity of all types, or insufficient concern about them. Thanks to these suspicions, they often create the relationship problems they fear.
