why do I need so much help?

I feel like I'm asking for something that can't be done. What I really need is someone to be here with me to hold my hand through this pain. The people around me keep telling me I have to hold my own hand and then someone will magically appear to live with me. It feels so counterintuitive. I want to feel that genuine human connection. I'm so tired of being alone.

I understand exactly how you feel. I have basically been really alone for 2 years, and not had a significant other for 12 years. I never expected my life to end up like this. It's hard because I am a very compassionate, physical type of person . When someone needs a hug, I am there for them, but when I need a hug, I have to ask for one. I cry in front of a close family member, and I STILL have to ask for a hug, even though they know I need the physical support. It's hard for people like you and me. We crave physical affection (hugs, hand holding). I miss having someone to share things with and put my head on their shoulder when just sitting there watching tv. I know how horrible the loneliness feels. I just want someone to hold me .

:( The people telling you that you need to hold your own hand, have obviously never been without physical contact. If you need to talk, I am here.
