I am feeling so lonely and would really like to talk to someone who understands the feeling. Specifically about being single and being scared of not finding love.
I absolutely hate sleeping alone, not having someone to share good and bad parts of my day with, someone to just watch tv with and cuddle. I so badly want to find my person, and everyone in my life makes me feel like I’m so wrong for feeling the way I do.
I always get the “u have to love urself before someone else can love u”, “keep putting yourself out there but don’t go into it with the intention of finding your person as it’s too high of expectations”, “u need to be ok to be alone so ur partner is adding to ur life not becoming it”.
I understand all these sentiments and it’s not like I think they’re all insanely wrong, but I feel like I’ll never fully be happy alone I’m very much a person who values family and love and I don’t want to casually date. I’m almost 30 I know what I want and I don’t understand why I can’t be honest that that’s what I want. And I don’t know how to stop worrying about being alone now that I’ve been alone for almost a year.
