i struggle to find happiness in relationships with girls; being with them often leaves me feeling unhappy and drained, like i give more than i get and still come up empty. at home my parents won’t see or accept me — they belittle my feelings, dismiss who i am, and act like my identity is a problem, which makes me feel invisible and unheard. that constant dismissal and the hatred they project onto me leave me exhausted and full of self-doubt. i keep hoping the next girl will finally understand me, but each connection falls apart and chips away at that hope. the only time i felt any real happiness was with my ex, even though she did me wrong; remembering that makes me ache and wonder why i can’t find someone who treats me well and makes me feel seen. loneliness settles in more and more, and it’s hard to imagine trusting someone again when it feels like no one in my life truly accepts or understands me. i wish i could be loved for who i am without explanations or defenses, and i’m so tired of pretending i’m okay when everything inside is breaking.

@1ond0nn You shouldn't have to pretend you're ok when you're really not. I'm sorry you're struggling with finding happiness in relationships. I would like to remind you that happiness is found from within... and the relationship if it's healthy should just add to it. If you're unhappy, ask yourself why? What is happening or going on where joy isn't making its way to you? Please try not to put your ability to be happy dependent on another person. Doing this can set you up for all kinds of disappointments. 😞 I'm sorry your family isn't accepting of who you are or what you identify as. Whatever that may be, you deserve to be loved, cared for, and accepted! I hope you have someone safe in your life and someone you can feel like you can be your true self. Please don't pretend. Be you. Be true. Embrace all your feelings and emotions and just take it one day at a time. Know you deserve happiness and all things good in life. I wish you all the best in all areas of your life. Take care. ☆
