Just want to be loved.

[redbluegreen]

Hey, I joine dup yesterday because I dont really know where else to turn to about this. Im 17, which I know to some might seem a little to young to be worrying so much about this but its just taken over everything in my life for the past 2 years. I feel like I've been deprived of this basic human need which everyone I know seems to recieve so easily. I just want to be loved. I don't want anything more than this. I feel like I just can't carry on with my life unless I have someone to care for with me, who cares for me just the same. I know I have my entire life ahead of me to find this person, but im so sick of being alone. I'm scared I might do something really stupid to myself if I'm this miserable for any much longer. I just feel so unlovable.

I understand there are people with much bigger difficulties in their life. I know this is miniscule compared to theirs. But it would mean the world just for some affection.
Thank you so much for reading.
Matt.

Hi Matt and welcome to the forum. Please don't think I'm being all old and patronising when I say this, but the person for you is out there somewhere, it just may take a while before you find them  %^% But hang in there, don't give up

Not feeling loved is a very big deal. But it has to start with loving yourself as difficult as this can be. That can be a very hard and lonely thing to work on, but trust me it's worth it and it will gain you hope that you don't know what's to come in your future and I believe, as should you, that there's love in your future. Who can resist a person who knows that feeling loved is the greatest gift of all and the one which matters the most.

Good luck. Start giving yourself some of that love inside of you and keep hope up that soon other will love you too!

I understand your feeling with wanting love. I want the same.

My concern hear is that you may be suffering from genuine depression - you have stated that you worry you may do something stupid and that you can't take this feeling much longer, and so I'd take a guess that you've had thoughts of suicide and possibly self harm,

I think the best thing you can possibly do is go to see your GP and explain to him/her honestly how low you feel and how is it dominating your life, and how you feel like you can't go on this way.

Please do take care of yourself.

I would like to reassure you that you can and will be happy, all is not lost and a good future awaits you. Seeking help is a step in the right direction and will lead you on the road to improved levels of happiness.

I also understand how you are feeling, Matt.  I was the same at your age, I was a loner and didn't find anyone till I was 19.  As Steve has said, don't suffer alone, see your GP if you can.

I was a loner at 17 and wanted just the same. I do still and I am a loner at 39. That doesnt mean you wont find anyone, be assured you will. Heartbreak is another issue but better to have loved and lost than never to have been in love. You'll find someone. I know how you feel, lifes tough and its better when there is someone there to come home to.

Hey Matt,

 *() have a hug from me as i know it can be hard to feel like your alone and unloved, but here your apart of the forum family. People may think your being boring or ignorant or shy. Most probably you keep yourself. Me personally, I don't make friends easily and i warm to the more relax type of people as i feel i can trust them more. As a suggestion, if you have any hobbies that you enjoy and get a chance to meet other people that way. Then i suggest you might want to push yourself a little bit. You might find someone who likes you as much as you like them and you will have something in common.

Keep at it and you will be rewarded  +-_

Hey Matt,

I know exactly how you feel, I don't think anyone really loves me either and I have always been a loner, never had a proper boyfriend

And don't worry about thinking your too young to be worrying about this stuff. I do all the time and I am only 16 xx
