    Thanks to both of you for the helpful advice. Stephen, you’re so right about the longer you wait, the harder it becomes. Maybe I will text this guy not necessarily because it could lead to romance, but to do it to show myself that I can, and that whatever happens, rejected or not, it’s not the end of the world.
    Paula, I do journal which is good because it gives me a chance to self reflect and I have tried to do affirmations, but on my low, sad days, I completely find it hard to be positive. I have never heard of EFT but will look into it.
    Thanks again!

    Thanks for your response! I know that I have created this little box of comfort because I am terrified. I want to be loved. I know I have a lot of love to give. But I always feel like I am, I guess, not good enough? I feel like I have too many imperfections or because I don’t have a career going or that I don’t have any talents or that I am not pretty enough that I am unworthy or something. I can’t even explain how scared I am of both never meeting anyone and actually meeting someone who is interested. I know these feelings aren’t normal. At 23, I feel like I am already late in the game and inexperienced and the older I get the harder it will be for me to shake these fears. Maybe I am just someone who is meant to be unhappy and scared.

    Thank you both for responding to my post! Jerris, thank you for telling me that you feel similar. It makes me feel not as alone as I did. I just wish I knew what my passion was so I could just have that to focus on. I also hate that the friends that I do have are always busy, leaving me with no one to hang out with and in this ball of loneliness. And also thank you N Choudry for your input. I really am going to try working on being kinder to myself and being more grateful for what I do have going on. It is just sometimes so easy to forget that life could be worse. I am also learning how to be more patient. I have never had a significant other and I am just trying to have the mind set that if it happens, great! and if it doesn’t, that is totally great too. I have sort of talked my problems out with my mom, but once I am feeling a little better financially I want to seek professional help. Thanks again you guys!
