Why do I have the worst luck with guys?

Even my own dad shunned me emotionally until we repaired our relationship in my early teens/adulthood. The only gentle and caring men I knew growing up were my grandfathers on each side. Other wise, nothing.

When you’re often over looked, even by members of my own family, naturally you start to feel lonely.

I think that’s where the void comes from but I guess that’s something I’m just gonna have to live with.

Hm maybe you subconsciously seek approval and connection from guys so you feel like you're always seeking it even if you get it as there's that "void" you feel.

Or maybe you're shut off because you reached a point where you thought "If i'm not going to get it then I don't want it anyway" but really you'd like it so there's an empty, neutral feeling which almost feels like nothing.
