I don’t care all that much. I’ve already accepted that most aspects of me mean I will never be in a long-term relationship and I’ve gotten over it.
Cry yourself to sleep and Imagine that so one is listening
It’s not that deep : people need to learn how to be alone and love themselves rather than waste all their energy on somebody who may not even be there 12 months later.
I was single for a time of about 3 years a while ago.
I generally am someone who’s okay with being alone/without a romantic partner, but definitely broke down some days. You just work on yourself, like meditate or work out, find out your interests and engage with those more. If you can find some communities where you can find friends, that’s really helpful too.
Sex and intimacy are not the same thing. Porn and toys take care of the one, and one or two good platonic friends, the kind you can call at 4: 00 in the morning, take care of the other.
