Unwanted longing for companionship

First, no negative, cynical or put-down comments, please.

For the most part, I am accustomed to my own company and just keeping myself busy to pass the time, but sometimes there is a sort of longing for a significant other, though I have accepted I wouldn't have the right stuff to make it happen (money, own vehicle, job, social connections, etc.) and I ignore and quash those feelings by keeping busy.

  • I believe that while certain external factors can make it easier for people to find a partner, they don’t define your worth or your capacity to be loved.

    I think there’s someone out there for everyone. It just takes patience and looking in the right places. Keeping busy definitely helps in the meantime.

    But don’t give up! Life isn’t just black and white - there’s also grey in between. Slight smile
