Anyone else feel unlovable?

Some people say they care about me and it helps, but it's not the same as a romantic relationship. I like to think that it would fix it, but I have been alone for so long that I can't know for sure. I was never in love with my ex. It gave me validation for a short time, but she broke up with me after I told her I wasn't in love with her.

Love seems like the only thing that could make me feel OK about my trauma. Without it I feel like life was just a big fat mistake.

I feel like someone can’t love me because I cannot provide. Love isn’t enough you have to offer something.

Love isn't real, all relationships are transactional. This is water, but that feeling of love that people get is always for a reason. Not everybody is worthy of love, some of us are just insufficient.
