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 desire to be understood. The less we think the people around us understand us the more alone we feel even when in a crowd of friends. The hardest part though is letting someone in deep enough that they get to know you. It's risky...because the more we let some one in, the more we fear. And fear can often make us do things to sabotage ourselves.

@djjohnson Well said! This is the same actions I've done.

Then don't give up hope. It will happen as long as you don't give up.
