I feel the same way, but I'm a 34 year old female lesbian... my dating pool is maybe 3% of the globe. Most likely less. Add to that my mental illness, my child's, our crushing poverty and all of the crap that comes with that, physical illness, my past, and my personality type (infj - least likely to have good relationships, of course, because we always want more), and I feel absolutely screwed. You are most definitely not alone. I can tell you that from my experience, and you can see it from the other posts here.

I like to think we will all find someone, at least those of us who want to. Someone who rounds up, I suppose...

Here's what I can offer you: keep your head held high, remember what you have to give to the world (we all have something special), remember how important you are, don't settle for crappy treatment just to avoid being alone, and most importantly, do you. That's when you'll meet the people who will click with you, and maybe that special someone by proxy. Do that thing that makes you special, as often as possible. Get paid for it if you can. If not, consider trying to volunteer in it.

I may not have my special someone yet, but I've finally found my tribe working in mental health, and that gives me hope, and I know it makes me better each day than I was the day before, and that has to be preparing me for something good.

Much love ❤
