Feeling so lonely and unloved?

Not much of a question, just need to vent and get things off my chest. How can I be 22 years old and so alone? I have friends at work but when I go home and days off I have no one. I don't have parents or guidance or any source of love in my life and it's been this way for so long. I haven't dated or been in a relationship for over 3 years.

I feel like I must not deserve love because why else would this be the type of life I lead? I go weeks and months without even a hug. I crave affection and human touch. When I watch tv or movies I can't keep myself together because when I see families or displays of love it makes me emotional. I'm just so alone and don't know what to do or how this will get better.

  • OK, ole buddy, you have had many loses in your Life at 22. And, your carrying around a tremendous amount

    of emotional baggage. That is a real cross to bear. And, it is always going to get in the way of your future

    goals. Your experiencing that, right, now. The bright, handsome, smiling and wonderful You is suffocated

    in this emotional fog. You have Goals, Wants & Needs but, you have the Cart before the Horse. So, we have

    Choices. 1)We can continue to sit in this emotional soup. Hope & Cry. 2) We can say, DAM'IT,I'M SICK OF THIS! Things are going to Change for the better. 3) I'm going to get Help and get rid of the Baggage w/ a therapist. 4)Meanwhile, I'm making a list of short term Goals. And, through work w/ the therapist I'm going to obtain each one. Because the day coming when I'm going to say THANK YOU, I did it, I succeeded. I made a Life for Myself! I have Faith that you can do it. Greatest Respect.

    Hey, why don't you go out to places to try to meet someone or even make new friends? I feel you, I was like this for my whole life. But I learned that I have to get out there and try to meet new people because nobody will ever come to me. It may be hard and boring at first to go out to places alone, but trust me, it is so worth it. Get out there and push yourself to socialize with others, even ladies. Trust me, once you do this, you will gain self-confidence and you will finally find love. Self-confidence is all you need. If you make new friends, finding love will be much easier. Good luck.
