Please don't fall into the trap that you " need someone" to be happy.

You can find happiness.. Take time and self reflection.. The majority of people in relationships find that partner when they were not even looking.. Life is funny like that.

Go easy on yourself .

Welcome to PC
Thank you, I don't know if I need someone per se but I do think it'd be nice to be given another shot at it. Sometimes I do self-reflection and it gets boring after awhile since I have no one to share it with. Not to mention the real bore which is not knowing about "her" life and thoughts, though I'm working on this by trying to get to know other people's lives better, even if we're not dating.

Are there other things you might get busy with like school or friends or hobbies or work?
Yes, I was in one at 14. I don't know what we were thinking lol but it was fun. I go to school, hang out with friends, do work part-time, and exercise so I am pretty busy. Sometimes I put up a strong front until I get home and then that's when I think a relationship would be nice.

Very true, and I've learned many people are in bad relationships. However what concerns me is that people don't even give me a chance anymore.

I will message you later, but I wanted to let you know I am glad you've shared this with me
