Oh my goodness... you are so, so young. You have so much time. Don't be afraid of that. Things can change very quickly.

If you are worried about not being able, or worthy, boost your confidence by finding something you enjoy, for YOU, not for anyone else. Stick with therapy and work on coping skills and look toward the future. Join a club or activity group - practice being with other people (I need to do that too!), maybe your therapist can help you choose something that would work. Volunteer if you have time, it is fulfilling. Push your boundaries a bit at a time.

You can use the time that you are single to work on things to improve your life for the future. The more you live for yourself, the more confident you will become, and relationships will come along. Make sure you are ready first!

I'm 30 and single, and I've been through several relationships that were pretty miserable. You don't want that. I've been missing out all this time because I was so focused on having someone in my life that I forgot to put ME in it.

You've got twelve years to work on getting to a better place than I am now. Make the best of it. Good luck
