Have you ever gone SO LONGG without affection or love...

You've been brought up to serve the needs of your narc parents.

you were told that what you wanted wasn't important.

And they made you someone who served THEIR needs. No wonder you don't feel deserving of attention.

Guess what? It's all bullshit. They had an illness which caused them to victimize you. But that's not what should have happened.

I can't live with the idea that they made you feel so small when in fact you bring positivity and joy to people. But that's narc abuse. I'll do whatever I can to help you break free.

Although I know my family loves me I have never really experienced romantic love from anyone that I was attracted to; however, I never think that it can’t be true because I see other romantic couples together all the time. But yeah, I can totally relate to the feeling that the thought of flirting or kissing or sexual things seems strange, silly, and unrealistic. Like that’s never going to happen for me.

When I masturbate I can’t even imagine myself doing something sexual with a woman because it seems so fake or unrealistic, so I always imagine an attractive woman having sex with some other guy instead.

I have seemed to hit a dead end, dates go well enough until the conversation turns serious. Not completely sure of what I’m looking for but there are things that cannot be compromised.

I’ve found it helps to first learn to love yourself and be happy with your own company. Then no matter what others think, you’re still okay with the person that matters most.

I call it your 2nd virginity i was talking to someone about this just last night.

you are not alone

Yes.

Yes.

Are you dating at all or trying to meet people?

Yes but I am also hopeful for finding one to shower all my affection and love.

I can relate

Ouch
