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?

To answer your question, you need to love yourself as much as you'd want someone in your life to love you. If it takes therapy for you to get to that place, I think it would be money well spent. The type of person who is ultimately attracted to you depends significantly on how you feel about yourself.
