A Person who Doesn’t feel Loved will Find it Hard to Open Up
You can’t force a person to share his heart with you. Building a connection is not that simple. It takes time and the willingness to serve and acknowledge others.

You need to show the person that you can be trusted, and you will not judge or condemn them for what they feel. Be kind and continue to do good things for them. One day, when they realize how much you care for them, they will…
