However, there are people who appear confident, but in actuality lack the authentic confidence it takes to be devoid of ego. An ego gets in the way of unconditional love. <\/p>\n<p>2. They are good communicators &#8211; They can communicate with respect and without ego. They have the ability to resolve conflict rather than attach it to the relationship with the possibility of making the other person feel badly about themselves.<\/p>\n<p>3. They are not judgmental &#8211; They are tolerant and accepting. This is also a nod to a confident individual who is also grown up enough to accept that not only is every person different, but the world necessitates it. It should be celebrated rather than criticized. <\/p>\n<p>4. They were unconditionally loved themselves. They come from families who have loved well and avoided the pitfalls of controlling, disrespectful, ego filled relationships. Or they came from families who that did love well, but did not communicate well and they learned how to go on to take that love and learn the type of communication that makes it truly unconditional.<\/p>\n<p>5. They are not controlling &#8211; They have the ability to love their partner without controlling them. <\/p>\n<p>6. They are mature &#8211; There are individuals that grow up and then there are individuals who still behave much the same way they did when they were young. It is difficult for an immature person to love unconditionally because they still have the spoiled tendencies of a child. They still put themselves and their own needs first. They are so tied up in their own need to get their way that they don&#8217;t have the maturity and selflessness necessary to love unconditionally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Please note that this column is the second in a 3 Part Series:<br \/>\nThe 1st Column is titled:  The 6 Essential Ingredients of a Disrespectful Communicator<br \/>\nThe 2nd Column is titled: 6 Signs a Person Is Capable of Loving You Unconditionally<br \/>\nThe 3rd Column in this series is titled: Is the Person You Love Sending You Mixed Messages?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/files\/2016\/03\/i-beg-your-pardon-marriage-proposal-excuse-me-frog-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/374\/2016\/03\/i-beg-your-pardon-marriage-proposal-excuse-me-frog-2-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"i-beg-your-pardon-marriage-proposal-excuse-me-frog-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1772\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n(Picture Courtesy of Pexels)<br \/>\nFollow me on Facebook @Colleen Orme National Columnist<br \/>\non Twitter @colleenorme<br \/>\non Pinterest @colleensheehyorme<br \/>\nE-mail: Colleen.Sheehy.Orme@gmail.com<br \/>\nwww.colleensheehyorme.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love should be so easy, yet it is so complicated.

Born to my native Brooklyn parents, I have a love of all things city and all things country. I found myself in the town of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which prior to The Office, nary a soul could envision less you found yourself on the hills of Interstate 81. I was held up there while I pursued my B.S. in Business. I have two passions: Business marketing and writing. The two are not so terribly different. Why? Cultivating a brand is in essence the story and the connecting of the dots of a corporate entity. I write features for various magazines and newspapers and I am a national divorce columnist (what can I say things didn\u2019t turn out quite the way I thought they would). I am also a former business columnist. For more than fifteen years, I spent my summers on the Jersey Shore in what I call my \u2018out of state\u2019 clothes once again magnetized to the northerners I find so familiar. If I were to brand my writing, I would say I write of LOVE. That is the core from which I begin most stories. I find myself drawn to dig for the moments in the story that are the passion that drive the message. It may be the love of what originally started a business or an authentically motivated personal profile, or simply the love of a subject being investigated which compels me to write. My forever favorite form of writing is the human interest essay or what I call, \u201cAn Interview With Life.\u201d The average day that is explored and somehow once again instills in us a joie de vivre\u2026..a joy of life. These human moments are the Hope Virus that spreads amongst us and can\u2019t help but propel us into better human beings with a larger sense of the world.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/author\/corme"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/575"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1512"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1803,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions\/1803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
