Well I tried

I met someone online after 4.5 yrs on my own and I can’t cope with the attention. I have gone from having nothing to someone that emails and texts 30 times a day it is making me ill. I did not realise there are worse things than loneliness.

It has proved to me I am not ready to give up a big slice of independence. I am not mentally or emotionally ready for it.

So confused right now. But I have been honest with them and explained how they have made me feel and told them i can not give them what they need. I feel selfish but it was the right thing to do for us both . 😔
