No, it's not bad or wrong, but it can take time to find someone who loves you. It is also much more difficult if you did not feel loved and cared for as a child. Many many people on this site (including me) had very, very difficult childhoods. Many, while not physically abused, were neglected and emotionally abused. I don't know if this is your situation, but if it is, therapy can help. x

Of course not! I just posted about the challenges of wanting to date with anxiety. I think the advice I received about self love, making sure that you feel ready and have an honest conversation with yourself about how stable and in control you feel about your anxiety and/or depression is most important. Good Luck and Go slow

It is not bad or wrong in wanting to feel the emotions of someone loving you.

We all want and need that feeling of being wanted. However, it is so important

not to jump into this need. We must be cautious, The feeling of heartbreak is

not worth the temporary sensation. Love is an Endorphin high for sure but you

don't want to come crashing down. It will happen when the time is right :) xx

I do hope that you find someone to make you happy but I am here to talk to we all care on here and try to help
