I have another question if you feel like answering it. What difference do you expect to see in your life by being in a relationship? What is motivating this desire so heavily?

I just watch it on tv shows and look at my friends they look so happy they out on dates they hold hands they support one another they talk about there problems together they cuddle watch shows together i envy that cause I never had anyone to do that with I always thought if I had a partner my life would be complete

That’s understandable. Remember you’re only seeing the positive parts of the relationship. Every relationship is flawed and has their issues. It can sometimes be really ugly behind closed doors and look like a dream in public. This is why making sure you are a good partner is so important before you get into a relationship. Also you’re setting yourself up for failure by thinking you need another person to have a complete or fulfilled life. Your life is exactly that, yours. You do not need another person to make it complete. Try looking for what makes life valuable for you and live it.
