I seem to be in the same situation you were in. I have an enormous need to be loved due to a traumatic child hood. Not only do I have an enormous need to be loved, but I also have an enormous need to have someone. At this point in my life, I am not able to be on my own. I dont like being alone with my thoughts. Its almost as if I need someone there to numb my pain. I depend on them for my happiness. So, to answer your question, I guess my fear is being alone. Im only 20 years old, and I realize I have my whole life ahead of me, I guess i just feel as though I should have my life together a little better. I’m worried that I’m going to continue to settle, as long as im not alone.

Thanks for your reply

Ashley.
