My thoughts on loneliness
I've been feeling very lonely lately. I was fine for awhile but I've crashed recently. I am surrounded by people that love me & care for me, my roommates & friends but I don't feel as though I'm cared for. I am a very dependent person, which is something I'm trying to work on. After breaking up with my ex of 3 years I've been increasingly dependent on the people in my life to make me feel ok.
I've been trying to find a partner through online dating but even then nobody responds. It seems like the new people I meet want to hangout but not as often as I'd like, they don't want to be friends or cultivate something deeper. I'm not sure what about me makes people feel this way about me.
It's hard to feel guilty about being needy but REALLY needing connection all the same.
Thank you for reading, I feel a bit better shouting into the void about this.
