Hi Felix

It’s good to hear that you have been in therapy and it helped in some areas of your life.

I would suggest scheduling regular massages so you have physical contact. While you are searching for your life partner you may wish to pursue more casual experiences on plenty of fish.

Lots of people end up without relationships for extended periods of time. I’ve been through that myself. It doesn’t have to be a negative experience. The people that are upset by this experience tend to not be comfortable with themselves. This is why self-compassion can be important. You may need to develop a more positive relationship with yourself.
