I understand how you feel. I am much the same I know and love who I am, but I’m quirky and different and it seems almost never truly accepted by people. I’ve only truly been in love twice and have spent most of the past 12 years in 2 long term relationships. One was a love, and one wasn’t. The love was the first time I ever felt someone completely accepted me. She kinda renewed my hope. My best advice would be moderation: Don’t try too hard at finding someone as this leads to the negative feelings about yourself/relationships, but also don’t give up or avoid social situations and dates, as that really lowers your chances of finding what you are looking for. Keep your head up and be who you are even if it’s not the easiest path. Best of luck to both of us! (excuse my horrible grammar I felt like putting things the way I feel supersedes proper diction) X)
