Hello, thank you for posting.

I can definitely understand where you are coming from, as I have walked in your shoes. At 26, I am still working on myself. You have to work on YOURSELF before anything else. I have been told this many times just on this site and am only slowly realizing this fact myself. We may yearn for a relationship, or someone's feelings in particular, but the simple truth is, nothing will ever work if you are not in a good place. We cannot look at a relationship as a solution to our own personal problems, depression, anxiety, etc. Any relationship would only be sabotaged if either person in it is not stable and on their own two feet. Best of luck!
