I hate being single? I don't know how to cope?

Every friend of mine is in a relationship. And I'm just. There. They always post pictures of their dates and stuff and their partners and whatever and I have nothing to contribute but pictures of my cat and pictures of a drink I got from dunkin donuts. This feeling is horrible. It feels like no one cares for me on a deep personal level. Like I know that obviously there are people who care about me, but there's no one that wants to invest in me. No one that's determined to get to know me. Learn how to love me on a personal level. There's none of that and it's just so unsatisfying and it makes me wonder what could be wrong? Everything came so natural to my best friend. She gained a crush, had it for months, then her crush actually messaged her and told her his feelings, then she finally came out and told him hers, and they instantly clicked. Me, however? I gain a crush, I tell them, they shrug it off, or I barely get a Reaction, and that's it. I don't overreact, or start treating the person bad when they reject me. I just swallow it, then make a dumb little joke afterwards, and then that's it. Even though I'm absolutely crushed and they don't really care. Not that I blame them. I just want to feel cared for. I want to know that I'm a person worth loving. Because I just feel miserable and unwanted.

    Well damn man there's your problem. In your own words, "I just feel miserable and unwanted." My advice is that you're mismanaging the order of your priorities. A relationship will not solve that feeling. Trust me, it won't. If you're able to pivot your focus away from this towards friends, family, etc, people who you already have surrounding and supporting you, then you'll be more fulfilled for yourself, which will ultimately make you a better and more desirable partner long-term anyway. Best of luck to you mate!

    I doubt anything is wrong you just haven't met the right person yet. I use to be the single friend while my other girl friends had their boyfriends.

    I would watch the couples hug and kiss and cuddle and it was an incredibly lonely feeling for me as well but I still found my ways to have fun.

    I've been with my man for 3 years now and I wouldn't trade him for any other guy. He was my first and only and we plan on being together for the rest of our lives. It wasn't like he came into my room and took me away I had to put myself out there first I met him in ocean city. You have to go out and meet new people some one will eventually catch your attention. Good luck your not alone
