You're not alone in feeling this way, even if it feels like it. A lot of us on here got here because of the same cocktail: rejection, isolation, and being fed some warped version of love that feels more like control or guilt than anything supportive. When people say "your family loves you," what they mean is, "they think they do." That doesn't mean it's the kind of love you need—or even recognise as love. You're allowed to call that out.
And no, not having a relationship doesn't make you broken. It makes you lonely. Those aren't the same thing. It's human to want closeness. It's human to want to feel chosen. But this world is engineered to make people who don't fit the default feel disposable. And after enough years of it, that pain doesn't just sting—it rewires you.
I'm not going to lie and tell you to hang in there if you're set on SN. I get it. I respect autonomy. But just know that whatever you've internalised about being "unlovable" or "ugly" isn't objective truth. It's grief talking. It's your brain trying to make sense of why it hurts so much all the time.
And no matter what anyone says—you're not crazy for wanting to be loved.
To add on,
this is a great resource for helping with meaningful notes, if you need it.
