What does it actually mean to feel loved? In this episode of And Now Love, Cynthia Marks speaks with Dr. Harry Reis, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester and coauthor of How to Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most. Dr. Reis explores why love is not only about romance, but about feeling seen, understood, valued, and known. He explains why happiness is deeply connected to relationships, why loneliness can become dangerous when it turns chronic, and why presenting only the polished version of ourselves may win admiration but block real love. This conversation asks: What happens when we hide the parts of ourselves we most want accepted? Can vulnerability make us more lovable, not less? Why are adolescents among the loneliest people today? And what kind of love actually helps a person feel whole? A conversation on loneliness, vulnerability, emotional intimacy, social connection, and the human need to be seen.
