It's really not healthy how lonely I get, or how attached to people I get...
All of a sudden I'm getting a lot of girl attention. Had two friends suddenly show an interest in me, plus the casually dating thing. It's fun and great, but I haven't "gone home" with anyone yet, and I get very lonely at night. Like, almost in tears lonely.
And if I don't hear back from these people right away? My mind starts playing all sorts of tricks on me, wondering if they don't really like me, if they're talking to someone else...
My self-confidence and self-assuredness really took a blow after my last relationship, and I'm having trouble building them back up again. I know it's nonsense and I know the things I'm thinking and feeling aren't real; they don't have substance, they aren't based in reality but rather in my own insecurities; but damnit if they don't make me miserable.
