I’m feeling so lonely right now. It’s causing me so much depression and anxiety. I have like no close friends right now, and I feel sad because I can’t find romance even though that’s all I want right now. I haven’t been in a relationship in almost 3 years and I feel so lame. I can’t figure out if there’s something wrong with me or if I’m just too picky. I like a lot of alternative things, like watching horror movies, or just “dark music” or things like goth music, black metal, spooky stuff etc. it’s my passion in life and I wish I could find someone to match that. I haven’t found that person yet. Except I have one guy I can’t seem to get over. He was everything I looked for but he’s in a relationship now and I can’t help but feel sad because they seem so in love and I don’t know what’s so wrong with me that he didn’t pick me. It feels like the few people that I want don’t pick me. I just want to find a match so badly. I sit alone in my room all day because I have no one to hang out with. I don’t know how to meet people or even make friends. I barely use social media and I just generally feel like such an outcast. I don’t know what to do because this loneliness is consuming me. I’m very introverted so I don’t mind spending a lot of time alone but when it’s for days on end and I’m not going out or doing anything I feel really pathetic. I want to experience love again. I want to feel loved. And I can’t help but feel worthless because I don’t have that. How long have you been single? How do you cope with this loneliness? How do you meet people? Any kind words or advice would be useful right now because I feel very vulnerable, thank you.
