Trying to survive modern times

Who else here is romantic and has been looking for true love? Ugh! Writing like that seems so stupid! What can I do to stop being romantic and become self-sufficient?

yeah, I relate to that.

I have herpes. Have had it since summer 2015. Hardly anyone wants to even touch me now so I've accepted that I'm probably destined to either a lifetime of celibacy or lying to people and hoping they don't catch it from me.

I used to feel romantic in what felt like a lifetime ago but these days I'm resigned to spend the rest of my time alone.

I don't know what you can do, but I hope you manage because loving oneself is a lifelong romance - the best there is.
