I feel like I'm asking too much of others

I'm just trying to find the right words to express a thought. Not exactly sure what I'm trying to say, but I feel a bit like asking others to help me meet my needs is asking too much of them. Needs like hugs, or intimacy, or affection - things which I do need others for. But I can't ask for these things as even the most basic thing seems too much, like it requires a closeness I do not share with anyone despite my best efforts. I'm pretty sure any closeness I feel is not reciprocated, and my friendships are heavily one-sided.

I think I need to figure out a way to live without having these needs fulfilled. I know it's something I've managed in the past.

You could try seeing a therapist.
It's not wrong to express needs, but knowing the right way, time, and who you can trust can be the difficult part.

That’s what I’ve done. I’ve accepted my lot of being alone in life. I wouldn’t be the first. I won’t be the last. Love just isn’t meant for some of us.
