I'm so sorry you're struggling, thebittenpeach I know how you feel. I often feel the same way as well. I think the best way to meet someone is to just engage in normal activities - stuff that we usually like to do. That way it's possible to meet someone who shares our interests. Also I think some dating sites may be useful to meet new people, although it depends on the country. But like you said, it's important to focus on ourselves first before we start to deal with any major relationship. I think that's the way to build a truly happy relationship. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this
