Struggling with Being Single and Alone

I totally relate to this. I give so much energy to my partner and then they just turn around and leave me like I'm not good enough

I've always been alone. I totally understand. Now that I'm older, I wish I had just been a whore in my young days. Seems like they're the ones that the guys loved to marry and be unhappy with.

I've been alone for longer than I care for. I used to spend months alone when I was really young. It helped me to tap into my creative side. I write music, stories, and do crafts. I won't lie, it's no substitute for the closeness shared in a relationship, but knowing how to enjoy time alone helps with enjoying time with others. Be careful not to mistake being with just anyone as a remedy for being alone. In my desperation, I married a woman who cheated on me on my wedding night when I was sent overseas. It messed me up for relationships that followed. Then I was with a woman who was incapable of giving what I needed. Still I stayed with her for 24 1/2 years, in spite of being mistreated, physical and mental abuse, cheating and the lies, all in an effort not to be alone. I've been alone for years now, no, friends, most of my family passed away. On days when I feel lonely, I try to remember that I have to enjoy the world around me and be at peace with that. Finding self worth is far more important and beneficial than any relationship will. No one can see your value until you do. You are young and time is on your side. Don't be in a hurry.

Honestly, I stayed single or emotionally absent until I was ok with my own company. Start giving yourself that love, you deserve it. Be the love to yourself you wish you could have, and then maybe it will come to you

For me my dream is basketball and I try to focus on that but everytime I see a single girl that's actually attractive I want to just start flirting

I struggled a lot with relationships, everytime I got broken up with I always jumped the gun into a new one because I couldn't be alone. My last relationship ended last year and him and I were together for two years, it was the hardest thing ever and ever since I haven't been able to get into a new relationship, I've focused myself on my career and life and have become a lot more successful, and I've learned that even if you feel your ready for a relationship, and you may not actually be, then it won't happen. If you focus on your success and life and learn to put that love you have for others, towards yourself, you will find that finding a healthy relationship comes naturally and the right person will come at the right time

I had someone I liked she dumped me after 4 month's of dating then I tried to move on and it feel like I still want her but now I just want anyone

I’ve never really related to the whole dating life thing like everyone else, but my family is slowly dying due to old age now and I’m finally starting to understand what everyone has been talking about so I am actually starting to relate to this stuff for once. It’s scary when you have no one and the world beats down on you. Everyone thinks I’m perfect and have it all and I tell them all the time that’s just not true. I’m in the same boat as them now and it’s kind of sad actually. I get where they’re coming from now. Work and bosses and dating and loneliness and all that. I get what they were talking about now. I’m sorry about what you’re going through. I guess just set boundaries and don’t settle and put yourself out there. Either online or in healthy places. Not bars. That’s not healthy. And don’t just get swept off your feet by just anyone being nice to you either.

Try focusing some of that love you have on yourself~ I know from personal experience that relationships, no matter how great they are, can’t last of your partner is the only one that loves you. You have to love yourself too, which means learning how to be alone with yourself and not hate it. I still want more than anything to be in a loving relationship, but I’m learning what I can do on my own that makes me happy. It’s not fair, and I wish for both of us that we could find love in someone else first, but the world is cruel that way. Still, it’s not hopeless. Recognize what makes you worthy of love and give it to yourself—that’s the first step.

I'd love to banter about why dating is terrible. I'd also like to find someone. Is your mom single?🙏

I relate to this so hard. I have my ex all my love and caring and he cheated on me and it has me questioning my worth when it’s really not me at all. We will have our time and person ❤️
