I'm so lonely all of the time. I feel so numb but underneath that there's this lomging for more. I want to be seen and heard. I want someone to truly know me. In a lot of my relationships I take care of others, I anticipate their needs before my own. I wish someone would do that for me. It feels like the one way I'm going to get that kind of care is in a romatic relationship. Partly it's my problem for putting myself on a pedestal and not opening myself up and being vulnerable. I feel guilty and ashamed when others comfort me. Sometimes I fantasize about having unrequited love, because real love seems to unattainable. I carry a lot of shame, especially around my body. It makes me feel less than human. I feel like no one could love me as I am and that's part of the reason I try so hard to make other's around me happy. Because maybe if I try hard enough they'll love me too.
