I feel really conflicted right now

[cold musk]

I have a sense of longing for a relationship, as most of my friends moved away and I feel lonely, yet i also feel fear for a relationship as i feel like letting someone that close and giving them affection is just leaving a easy way to break me, I have trust issues and I struggle connecting and I feel like if I was to make a connection like that and It gets broken I'll just end up feeling emotionally scarred

A relationship is nice but I don't think being in one to fill in the void, to fill in the loneliness is a healthy thing to do

There's a chance that when this happens, a person can end up relying their lonliness too much onto their partner. Giving them the responsibility to make an individual entertained. Which is not nice because it can make the one being relied onto possibly suffocated when love is supposed to be about loving the person for who they are and their quirks. Being commited to each other while respecting each other's boundaries. Caring for a partner without getting in the way of their growth as an individual

I suggest having friends and learning how to enjoy your alone time while being by yourself. Getting to enjoy your own space and learn how to love yourself. Make new friends maybe and find new things to do, cuz how can you respect your partner if you're not able to respect yourself in the first place you know?
