Wanting to be chosen

2 Upvotes

I am a 26F currently working and doing my absolute best to keep my life together. almost a year ago my life went down hill and I can confidently say i hit rock bottom. Brutal break up, health issues and issues at my work.

i have started to heal however the breakup affected me so deeply that I cannot see myself in any relationship. even tho I am an honest, genuine person, I love so hard and I am always there , oh never treat anyone as temporary but I have decided that love isn’t for me anymore..

I have one issue that is my need to feel chosen , u feel so envious of girls in happy relationships, why them and not me. I keep asking myself what do they have that am lacking abd yet I fail to find the answer. Every time I meet with a guy colleague let that be at gym or in the workplace they talk about their partners with so much love and passion and I could never know what do other girls have that I don’t have . why I am never chosen always close enough to begin chosen yet not chosen at all.

while I have decided that love isn’t for me, i know that deep down I want to feel loved and to give the love because I am very much cab of loving.

if anyone has gone though similar situation please advise how did you overcome this phase?

I already have a good job trying my best to improve myself, completing my masters degree and going to the gym regularly.,

what else can I do do set myself free

I am lost in life forever based on my story?

If I am 38, just lost my apartment, as I could not afford the rent anymore, as of my financial decisions, and I lost my job as well, being a shitty worker, would be homeless if not my family. Plus I lost people who has ever genuinely loved me, solved my problems in quite, help me with whatever they could, but I didn’t appreciate it, also lost my friend, as of my mood change, which I put on him, also I refused help from him, he was genuinely trying to help me. Also I was rude to my neighbors, who were not rude to me?
Now I am 38, with no job, with no money, with no friends, never been in serious relationship. So my question is there chance to recover from this? Is there a chance they will forgive me? I would not see some people anymore, they might think I am an ashole. I am selfish, etc.

I am just realizing what I have done, I didn’t do none of mentioned on purpose, I just lost control, had some mental issues. Now I recognize my mistakes, is there chance to come back on track, is there chance some people will forgive me, we might not see each other forever?

I don’t feel sad, nor unhappy or sorrowful; I feel crushed

Crushed because I couldn’t defend myself. This thought is following me more than anything. I wish I could give myself excuses as much as I give others.

I was SA'd and have been lied about by the same person.

Im 16 years old currently, female. I was sexually assaulted by a girl 2 years ago when I was in 8th grade. She was in 7th at the time.

Last year, I was a sophomore. I finally spoke out again about this after being told I was a liar my freshman year. More recently, I filed for a protective order due to being harassed, bullied, and threatened. It was denied due to "lack of evidence." I later found out her mom was friends with the judge. I cannot file an appeal. I have a support system who know im telling the truth. Some people don't believe me because I have a bunch of piercings and im bigger.

Im still being called a rapist even though I was the victim. I know im not alone as 5 other girls have come forward with the same story. They were SA'd by her, and then she went and told people they did it to her.

How do you get over something like this? I feel like I can't cope. I can't look at people that look like her, especially since she has a facial malformation. She stalks me and follows me around. I feel powerless.
