31F. I think I've finally moved on from my one-sided love, but now I'm scared I'll never be able to love anyone again.
​
I'm a 31-year-old woman.
For the past 4 years, I was deeply in love with someone who never became a part of my life. It was completely one-sided. He's married now, and I think I've finally started moving on.
I don't stalk him much anymore—maybe once a week or even once every 10 days. Compared to how I used to be, that's a huge improvement.
The problem is, I feel like I'll never be able to love or feel the same way for anyone else again.
I want to get married. I want someone who feels like home. But I just can't seem to connect with anyone. I don't enjoy talking to new people, and I end up becoming blunt or rude. I also find it very hard to trust people, even over small things.
Has anyone else gone through something similar? Were you eventually able to open your heart again, or did that feeling of "I'll never love anyone else" stay with you?
I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice.
Help please
