TL DR: I feel empty without romance and find random probably unhealthy coping mechanisms to fill the void
I’m so used to always having a crush on someone / dating someone so now that there’s no one in my life to do that with, I feel so lost. I’m latching onto any form of internet friends / connections trying to fill this hole. I know it’s best for myself to experience life w/o romance for the first time in my life and to work on self Improvement so that I can attract someone great when covid 19 is over but instead I’m just spending all day on the internet trying to find men to talk to who could fill this void I am lacking. I hate dating sites ie Tinder for the lack of genuinely and prefer to meet ppl otherwise (random discord servers/video games) bc then there’s still the “chase” part of romance where u don’t rly know if the other person likes u back. I know this sounds stupid and I totally judge myself for it but now I’m caring about whether or not complete strangers reply to me and I don’t know what strategies I can use to shift my perspective to not feel so empty without romance
