when you imagine being single long term, what’s the scariest part? is it loneliness, feeling unwanted, not having someone to come home to? i’m just curious what part feels the most unsafe for you

i used to PANIC when i was single. like silence in my apartment felt unsafe. i jumped from relationship to relationship because being “chosen” made me feel okay. when i wasn’t part of a couple, i felt invisible. so yeah… you’re not alone in that craving

The start would be identifying why you feel unsafe being single. What about having a partner is the end all be all for you and what does it cost your mental well being to try and maintain such relationships.
