Perhaps it's best at this time that you seek someone professionally to talk to... I...personally find intimacy to be one of the best things to live for... Love is the first.. I would only venture to say, I had to love myself first ....before I was able to allow anyone to love me.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜♥️

I was where you are for over 20 years and just wanted to stay by myself. I finally went and got professional help and slowly started interacting with people and over time it lead me to meet my late partner. After he passed I again got help and now, even on a very limited budget I stay busy doing what I love.

I don't have a problem with any of it. I'm open to life and whatever may come.

My meaning for a therapist was so that you can view all of life in a positive manner. You're deserving of everything good and hope that you will see it that way.

It's human nature to want to have a relationship, even better a partner. It is very rare to want to be alone. I hate not having someone. But if I'm allowed to say this: I still want to have sex, love it, and need it! But since I don't go out to bars anymore as I am older and am afraid of drinking and driving (having gotten into trouble twice in the past) I don't meet anyone and I refuse to go the route of online sites for sex. A friend of mine who is HIV positive does it constantly and doesn't reveal his condition. Actually I have broken off that friendship as we have nothing much in common. But I like to make friends and do so on social media.
