How many of you get so lonely you can barely take it?

I always thought what I needed was to turn away from relationships. I never had one so maybe I should take time to myself and not focus on anyone else. Though I can’t help but feel that the missing piece in my life right now is just that. A relationship. A connection with someone. I’m currently where I wanna be in my life right now: awesome job, awesome home environment, etc. things have really been falling into place lately but I still get lonely. I still cry at night sometimes. There’s still one missing piece, one small empty space. I’m human. We need human contact and crave connection, which I’ve never had with anyone else. Can you imagine what that feels like? Well don’t. It’s not fun. Maybe instead of turning away from it, I can turn toward it and embrace it. Maybe I had the wrong idea this whole time. Maybe it’s time to let someone in? Maybe it’s time to go get me some good lovin’. Lord knows I need it.

I can relate to a lot of that. I found something that works for me though! I think your plan is a good one, let someone in and get some lovin! No matter what happens you'll grow from it. cx

@Reject Yeah. Even if it fails in the end, I think the experience would definitely help me out in a couple different ways too. I have zero experience forming and keeping relationships in that way. I do have faith in myself though. You gotta learn some time right?

@Sb356 Exactly! Look at you! I think you have the right idea. 👍🏽 You're not only ready for the worst, but you know how to benefit and grow from it. That's very wise. I think you'll be great. ❤

Relationships are Hell. I wish I could go back in time to the old me, when I was your age, and tell him to stay far away from them.

@GeistInTheMachine That’s unfortunate, sorry to hear. It’s different for everyone :) I’m gonna try my hand at it and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Ya live and ya learn, right? (Hopefully)

Now go pull up your big girl panty and quietly ask father God to take all that hurt away, then we gotta love ourselves before anybody else can. Next trust me go to you tube off Google and start listening to your favorite oldest tunes
