Venting "You need to learn to love yourself before you try to find a romantic partner"

I do get this statement, it's just good advice right? Self love is important and It would put a strain on the relationship for one partner to not have that, but I don't think I'll ever be able to truly "love" myself as much as I would like to. I feel so touch starved and I just want someone to scoop me up and tell me everything is gonna be okay (even if it won't be for me). It's getting harder and harder every day for me to distract myself from the fact that I will die alone and unloved in a romantic sense. I both love and hate that it's engrained in your brain to crave love, I'm happy for other people who've found it and the concept of love is beautiful but when's my turn? I wanted to CTB on Valentine's Day but that obviously didn't happen. I guess there's no point in fighting it if I want my life to end anyway.

Maybe in another life I'll find a woman who will love me for me. Big dreams, right?
