The Difference Between Love and Control

Three behaviors that might look like

love but they are not. Number one,

control disguised as care. See, when

someone tries to control your time, uh

your time spending with friends or even

your space, it doesn't mean they love

you more. This is not love. It just

leaves you anxious, tense, and always on

the edge. Number two, losing yourself

for them. If they expect you to give

your hobbies, your plans, your dreams,

even your voice, that's not love. That's

you disappearing until one day you don't

even recognize yourself. Number three,

jealousy and possessiveness. When every

small thing makes them jealous. When

every conversation feels like you're

tiptoeing carefully or you keep

questioning if you did something wrong.

That's not love. That's control through

fear. The truth is real love feels safe.

It makes you feel free, seen, and alive.

It lifts you up instead of draining you
