Singleness and nursing school

i need to get this out. I desire to be in a healthy relationship. I recently started dating but havent had any luck due to incompatibility and people not treating me the way i feel i want to be treated . Im not sure what to do. I hate when people tell me that i should just focus on myself and love myself, because i have always and will continue to do those things. But that still doesnt take away my desire to be in a relationship, and what is so wrong about desiring a relationship or any type of human connection whether that be friendship or whatever. I cant control the type of people that come into my life, i can only control who i keep in my life. Its so discouraging however to not be successful in finding a partner. Also i am about to graduate nursing school soon and im feeling so discouraged. Nursing school has beat me down into the ground financially, mentally, and physically. Now that im towards the end, i have no motivation. I dont feel like myself. I havent been able to stick with my skin care routine or hobbies because i dont have the money to afford, which makes me feel unattractive and bored. Has anyone in nursing school ever felt like this before ? Does anyone that is single understand me?

There is nothing wrong with wanting a relationship.

Maybe once you get settled into your career that will happen.

Wishing you the best

That's great you are finishing up nursing school. I love and admire nurses. They, along with wonderful doctors, made the difference on how I recuperated after a long illness. I know you are burnt out now, but hang in there, you are almost done! I totally get that you want to be in a healthy relationship, maybe that's on it's way🥰
