I guess I should wait to put myself out there?

I keep remembering how life is right now.
My finances are not where they need to be right now, my dog and I are still working on getting healthy at the moment, and I have a lot of responsibility to do to keep my car at good maintenance.

But yet I still feel lonely sometimes, like I could use an extra body to fall asleep wih, or to hang out with even.

I haven't been around friends for a while because I was broke for a few months, and I haven't been able to connect with family well.

I just think I need to see a psychologist and rebuild who I am, but WHY DO I FEEL SO LONELY AND NEED SOMEONE?

We all do - humans aren't generally built to be isolated*, we're mostly gregarious and like people around, to make us feel like someone cares, like we're important to someone.

@firefall yes and I always act like I can handle being alone. I say it so many times to myself to try and make it sound normal for me. But then it hurts.

@SaraxKay Yes, I've been known to do the same. We can fool others, but it's harder to fool ourselves when it comes to basic needs like that.
