Around middle of last year, I broke up with a girl and prioritized loving myself and learning to live without that kind of validation. I wasn't looking for another relationship because I was afraid of this but I ended up falling for one of my friends. We started dating in December but as I feared, I'm now feeling like I couldn't possibly live without her love, and I have to base my entire self around her loving me. Before, it was a little easier to break out of it because I was out of a relationship. How the hell do I fix this while still keeping my relationship?
