I feel hopeless

I'm sorry to hear that. I can confirm personally that there are well intended men out there, but they are extremely hard to find. I also feel misunderstood and struggle to open up.

It's a shame that happened to you. I met a couple of horrible people on EP which left me reluctant to engage on social media. I was also lucky enough to meet some pretty cool people too.

I suspect we are all freaks in our own ways. I hope you cross paths with someone you learn to feel comfortable with. As another on here mentioned, you have lots of time. Who knows what time and experience will bring you. Maybe something and someone great. Best of luck.

Firstly, If a man is looking for Love on EP or any other online community, that's say something about the man. So don't do that ever my friend.

A lot of people understands you. But who all cares, is the question. Find such people. Preferably once around you. Your parents, siblings, friends or anyone close.

O' by the way. You are not a freak. You are young. People easily confuse one with the other.

It's when you stop looking and start living life that it happens

You are sooooo young , you have sooooo much time to find your mate.
I suggest exploring men 10 years older than you.
Dont blame yourself, if you feel you have a flaw, seek to improve it but dont beat yourself up, no person is "perfect".
No man derserves your best if they dont love you when you are at your worst.

I met my ex on EP. We were engaged four years but I haven't spoken to her in eight. None of my relationships have worked out either, but no women want to open up to me. I've only had four girlfriends in my life. Not that I have anything to say anymore, and relationships worked best for me when there was stuff to have a conversation about.

You just need to take it slow in meeting a guy and get to know him and make sure y’all are right for each other

What an absolute shit of a man! Sorry guys like that need some attitude adjustment (kick to his bollocks)

Hey, that's my line. Been alone most of my life. Not by my choice. Too bad you're too young.

I bet that when you are 30 you'll reread this post and be amazed that you felt this way.

It's hard for you to hear, but you're better off.

Hugs 🤗 🫂 👐 🤗 Hang in there. Love always finds a way. 💘

keep trying but don't put expectations into it.

Same. Hope things get better soon!

No. You're not. You're a person who was mistreated. Probably gaslit, I'm guessing.
