I Am Depressed Because I'm Lonely

I'm tired of being alone. The reminder from social media posts of my friends with their significant other really hurts me.
I'm a good person. So, why can't I be rewarded too?
What really hurts me the most is when I go out w friends and my mom says, "Why are you going with friends again? Why not focus on finding a nice guy and settling?"
I can't win ever. I hate this feeling and every time she says that I just wanna cry and call my friends to tell them I'm not going.
All I want is for a guy to care about me regardless of how I look. Instead I get burned and come back home, crawl into my bed, cry and be reminded that once again I'm alone.

If the profile picture is you, then looks are not a problem. You are quite beautiful.
Based on your profile name, i’m assuming you’re quite intelligent. That could be intimidating to some men. But that’s not your issue.

Do you find yourself having issues meeting new people, introducing yourself, etc? You could put off a vibe that you are shy, etc.

Speak to your friends and ask their opinion about how they see you in these situations. Do you seem shy? Do you seem stand-off-ish? Do you seem too forward? Etc. Happy hunting! 😊
