any helpful suggestions?advice?

I am a good person with great qualitites, good character, high standards, good morals and values, but..., I am disabled, not my fault, not a physical disability either, and out of my control. Unfortunately, I am unable to work, because I can't hold a job to save my life. I am always running into the same problem every time I try to date, REJECTION, just for being totally honest and truthful about myself. Apparently, my worth is measured by my career, which i do not have one, my living arrangements, and my income and not by me, as an individual, no matter how good of a person I am. I have been hurt so much and so bad by this it's extremely hurtful, frustrating, upsetting, etc. At times, I feel like giving up and just accept that I will never find true love and be loved as much as i have been trying to give to others my entire life. I think its just so unfair, and wrong...I just don't know what to do anymore...

That's the thing about opening up. You can't just open up for love and acceptance without risking pain and disappointment. Sometimes you have to fail in order to learn. Sometimes you need to learn a lot before you finally succeed. It's far easier to say than do, but you can't advance if you give up.

I think the thing about your situation is that it indicates, among other things, a lack of dependability. If employers cannot depend on you to do a job or if a landlord cannot depend on you to support yourself, how will your dates feel about your dependability?

As always, there's perception and there's reality. I don't know what goes on in their heads or on your dates, but relationships require trust and commitment, and that may be hard to convince someone of without some solid examples or at least more time. I'm sorry you've had to be hurt that way, and that I can't be more help, but life doesn't come without its adversity. Maybe some answer can give you better guidance

I have tried to explain this, I am disabled, and can not work, so therefore I do not have a job, I have an income though, and I pay rent, I just live at home

so you think its your disability,or rather your financial situation and career that stands in the way more?

@Quietbeauty: yes i did...sorry. But as a man,honestly the last thing i look at is my partners income.. I can't speak for others of course but I really doubt that would be the issue

Well, for me, it has been for longest time, I just got rejected three times last night by three different guys, just by being open and honest, because that's how I am as a person.

Many people our age and above esp want someone who is independent, in work and so on. But it is not everything. I am also disabled, physically. It's a difficult one. Honestly, some people's jobs are boring. Ive come across people who aren't disabled without these problems who find it really hard to find someone too though.

There is none good but God, you are doing as Job did when falsely accused by his friends. I wish to speak to you, to help, possibly to get to know you also.

It is our nature to defend when attacked, but let us be careful that we do not turn to pride to deflect attacks on our worth.

I thought men didn't care about a woman's income. I don't think they do.

its not the income, its the fact that i don't work and my living arrangements
