Attachment styles in relationships: How do you deal with them?
in Psychology & Therapy ·
Maria King3, I get it. I really do. We haven't walked the same path, but I know the feeling. I spent years trying to find a partner, just hitting dead ends every single time. No one wanted to talk, and if they did, I was never "their type." I tried everything, and eventually, I actually found someone. She was incredible—the kind of person you think doesn't exist. Everything was perfect for a year until she suddenly decided she only wanted to be friends. She ended things over nothing. You have no idea how much that stings. It wasn't a traditional relationship, but we were connected on every level. I don't even know what my "type" is, but I cared about her in a way I've never cared about anyone else. It was all or nothing. I'm telling you this because I know exactly how hollow you feel right now. I’m turning 31 soon, and honestly, this crushed me so badly I don't even want to try anymore. It took a real toll on my mental health. I wish I could help pull you up, but I can barely keep myself afloat. I hope you find someone you love, and more importantly, someone who actually wants you.
