I’m 16m and I was wondering if anybody could give me advice on just like, being single, or how to not be so desperate for a relationship. While I do have friends and family I really want a boyfriend, I’m gay, and it just has been ruining my mental health to be single because of how badly I want a boyfriend, I’m so lonely and touch starved, I need advice, I just have no motivation to put effort into anything anymore, I just want to be loved, I don’t want to miss out on teenage love just because I’m gay and not attractive, like that’s not in my control, idk what to do I feel like I’m watching my own life leave me behind

Yay I turned 16 today, another year without a boyfriend, maybe this will be the year? Hopefully so because my mental health can only take so much. I don’t like watching my chance for teenage love slowly leave, it’s scary even if I know it’s inevitable

Does anyone have any advice for me for accepting that I’m unlovable? Because I know I’m not ever going to get the boyfriend I’m so desperate for, I just can’t seem to come to terms with it, how do I make the inevitable stop hurting so much?
