Being starved of love and connection is truly an awful feeling, especially when you crave those things more than anything else in the world. People perpetually underestimate the impact being lonely, deprived of loving relationships and connections has on others.
It seems there are always responses in threads of this nature that echo the same advice everyone has heard a million times before, about building confidence and improving social skills, as though anyone can achieve that. There's always those who will invalidate suicidality that is borne of loneliness and a lack of love and insist that it's always fixable, always a solution in sight. As though there is a certain criteria people must fulfill before their reasons for being suicidal are sufficient.
I can feel your yearning for love and affection so strongly, your willingness to give anything to a woman to acquire it, and this can work against you when seeking relationships (as much as I empathise with those feelings), when approaching dating from a place of deep despair and desperation and longing, of just wanting someone - anyone - to care.
While I disagree with your perspectives about women, I can empathise with your situation. I can understand how a lack of love can be crippling, especially since I recall that you said in another thread that no-one has ever loved you. Never being loved, even by those who were meant to love and protect you, is a terribly isolating, desolate experience.
I just wanted to say I hear you and I'm sorry you are so alone in life.
