working with the assumption that dominant culture doesn't teach most people how to love skillfully, i'm inviting you to maybe do a little microblog in the comments or repost considering what skill(s) you've had to learn and cultivate related to being a loving friend/partner/neighbor/family member
here's one of mine that i am still working on: if someone you love is experiencing a problem it doesn't mean they want you to solve it, it can be hard to watch people you love go through hard times or conflicts but unless someone asks specifically for your input on solutions i try to remind myself it's not my place to give advice or suggestions. me wanting to solve their problems can often be more about my discomfort and desire to fix than it is about being present with their needs and emotions. oftentimes the best way i know how to support someone else is to hold space for them to experience what they are presently experiencing, validate where they're at, remind them that they deserve peace, happiness, good things, and that they are capable of navigating what they're going through.
