I Would Rather Be Alone Than Be With the Wrong Person

I grew up not knowing what love is. I lived in a dysfunctional family. Never felt like I was good enough and the people I was supposed to depend on and lift me up broke me. Growing up I clinged to people because I desperately wanted to feel loved and craved the attention. Though now I'm older and have been through so much pain I believed it changed my perspective on love and relationships. I don't believe in love. Especially in this generation. The idea of love that I used to believe in does not exist. I would rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't see my worth as a person. I'm sick and tired of unrequited love. I'm tired of being in relationships where the effort is not reciprocated. I know my worth as a person and I'm not going to fight anymore to prove my worth to someone who doesn't see it. Good riddance..

You are handling this the right way.

My mum never loved my dad and cos the 'old school' idea of sticking it out for the kids mum grew bitter and twisted.

I always said when I was your age and still do say that I don't think I could live with anybody ever unless I was 100% sure I really wanted to.

But I am happy living alone.
