Drowning in my craving for romance and love
Lately my desire for a relationship has just increased and increased. I’m bothered by this intense craving because it’s followed by overthinking and daydreaming about possible partners. My thoughts have been circling around this topic so much lately. This longing for love often goes along with feeling inadequate and just extremely lonely.
It bothers me a lot that I seem to be so depended on a relationship to get these needs met. I had an isolated childhood and through much effort managed to make nice friends. Still it never seems to be enough and I feel desperately lonely. I’m not sure why friendships only feel like a light version of the feeling I’m craving. It might be the need for a deep bond and physical comfort that’s missing in them…
Any words of wisdom for me?
