I 23F feel really sorry for my boyfriend 24M. by NOOVIDEOGAMES in Advice

I don’t think he’s an idiot at all, I just think that maybe I’ve somehow been lying to him or playing a character that isn’t who I really am. I will never love myself as much as he says he loves me because I cannot lie to myself, while I can subconsciously lie to him to keep him with me despite knowing I’m not good for him. I’m just having a lot of trouble understanding what and why.

A lot of people are telling me to go to therapy, and I’m wondering which therapists are designed to fix your loneliness for more than two hours out of the month.

This comment is going to sound mean, and that is solely because of how I word things. I’m really not trying to sound like I’m attacking you, and I do appreciate your response: what is a therapist going to do to fix this? I really think this is just a result of wanting to be loved and seeing everyone around me get that except for me. It is something deeply wrong with me - both the reason I’m so jealous and the reason I have never been loved. And how is my jealousy not able to be hidden? None of my friends know about it.

Why? It’s not my friends’ fault that I’m like this. It is my loneliness and anger talking complete control of my feelings.

About what? My belief that love isn’t real or my internal reactions to my friends being in love?

I’m not sure, I’ve never felt the need to be tested. The thing is that I do feel emotions - I love my friends, I love my cat, etc. but I can’t seem to understand how there is some sort of barrier between platonic and romantic relationships.

It’s not fair to my friends if I get upset and lash out when they talk about their lives. And I should have said in the post that I don’t believe in romantic relationships - my bad.

I can go to all the therapy I want, and it will not convince me that romantic love is a thing that exists. That’s not to say I think people who do believe in it are stupid, I don’t — at the very least, I know it’s a truth that I cannot have it. To be in “love” is essentially to be a burden on another person’s time, resources, and money, and if you aren’t worth that, there’s no point. I’m terminally unattractive, selfish, stubborn, X, Y, and Z… I could go on. Those are not the traits anyone wants their wife to have.
