Something is wrong.

I think I might be deeply lonely but not in a way that allows bad people to stay in my life. I have boundaries and standards. I have people who come and go from my life. I don’t know exactly what is wrong. I feel hopeless sometimes but not suicidal or anything like harming myself. I just feel like nothing will ever change. Despite all this I continue to work and seek out social connections. I know I need to change my patterns but it gets lost in my procrastination and exhaustion.

Humans are social creatures and feeling the way that you feel is normal. I think everyone has had that fear at some time or another. You need someone in your life whose going to motivate you. That's the only way that you are going to feel complete. And it doesn't necessarily mean a spouse or mate, it could also be a friend. Being alone and feeling lonely isn't working.
