For context purposes I’m 19m I’ve grown up without a real connection with my parents and am almost completely alone atp other than friends. In general I’m doing really well I’m a psych student good grades consistent praise from professors seasonal job I love and now that I’m in college I’m getting quite a bit of attention which has been a big change. I’ve gotten to know a few people really well really quickly last month I went on 3 different dates with one of them and this along with other background drama has kind of knocked the wind out of me. I’ve come to realize exactly how existentially lonely I am and how much not having a mother has impacted me. Even though things didn’t work out the girl I was seeing is a great lady and I wish her the best but I also realized how much of a difference having a positive supporting person like her in my life changed how I saw things completely and going back to my “normal” feels horrible over the last couple years my family life has been really strained and I’ve lost general excitement or passion for my hobbies and I know it’s not good to be hyper focused on a relationship but in general life is just gray and I forgot it bothered me until there was an alternative. submitted by /u/Competitive-Bench848
