I always want to go from one person to the next when a relationship ends, because it's what I've done my whole life

Just try to find someone to fill the void and make me feel like I'm not alone. I can feel myself wanting it, even now.

But my self-esteem and issues make it really hard for me to form healthy interpersonal relationships.

I think I really need to truly stop looking and just focus on myself for a year or two.

I just really wanna fk 😩🤣

I just had to tell a coworker that. She had dated 3 different guys since moving here in January. They were literally cookie cutters. I couldn’t tell them apart. They all ended the same way too. With the guy threatening her. I told her to stop dating for a bit. Be comfortable alone. After I separated from my ex wife, I stayed alone for almost 6 years. I developed some of my best friendships during that time mainly because I was focusing on what I needed and not what a relationship needed.

@Josh1454 yeah! I've learned a lot. My last relationship really hurt, but I did learn how to keep a bit of a distance from him and not feel like I needed him. So while the breakup is still hurting me for fidelity reasons, I don't feel so shattered without him.

I've developed many good friendships in the past few years 😊 of being mostly single, and with one semi-serious relationship
