to be alone or to not be alone

Meeting people has never been my strong suit. Neither has trying to make friends. Throughout my 21 years I've always enjoyed my solitude, being by myself means i don't have to worry about anyone else trying to come in my bubble and make a mess of it. It doesn't mean i don't want friends, I want someone to hang out with occasionally. I also want to fall in love. I have wanted someone since I was five. It's all a mess when someone will come into your life and you feel like they could be someone that could stay but they just leave and it feels like: 'god i'm so stupid how could i share my life in every aspect and they just don't want anything to do with me anymore'

Recently, I have been in a depression. One that was really severe, I haven't felt this ty in a solid year I would say. I have severe anxiety and i'm constantly worried about making sure everyone around me is happy. I met someone, a nice human who I enjoyed conversation with. Someone I shared things with that I don't share with many. Things were good for a solid week and then bam: she disappeared. Didn't respond for the whole week and I tried to be well you know understanding. Yet by the end of the week she explains that she has a huge trust issue and she is someone who runs away. I told her truthfully that i wasn't someone who would hurt her I would be here for her 1000% and i thought that, it was the end of it.

another couple weeks roll by and again she disappears. telling me that life isn't great. she's having a hard time and I try to be understanding but I also want to be there. I care about this person. Yesterday she explains her situation after two weeks and it makes me understand but also feel frustrated because i could have been there. She explains that because I live far away that I couldn't properly be there for her. It aggravated me.  I would do whatever I could to be there. 

Today she explodes at me for no reason. and it just, it makes me realize what a mistake I made to let someone in again. To trust again. I cut ties and wished her pure happiness. i just, maybe it's always good to be alone.

It is. Sometimes, it's tiring, but it's better that way. You don't have to bother other people with your existence. Or so I think. *shrugs*

I think you just haven't found the right person yet ... Sometimes your environment and the person you mixed play an important as well. Give yourself some time and space . Eventually you'l find your way. You may have a few bad memories but that doesn't that everyone will leave. Have more confidence and faith. Give yourself all the chances that you need.
