I have a good job, I’m healthy, and am privileged. Except I feel lonely if I’m not dating someone or apart of something like a team or tight knit group. I try to run from my feelings through work, hobbies, and partying but still feel starved of a deep emotional connection. (I have already done therapy for this for more than a year) It makes me really sad and I usually push people away because I’m so desperate for someone to care about me. Anyone out there want to talk?

You sound like a human having a very human need- connection. The only way to do that is to seek that group, a person or persons with whom you feel connected. It’s hard to make friends or find someone you truly connect with - but the only way to do it is to do it. 🤗

I thought about this the other day and think this the nature of consulting. You don’t feel part of a tribe, working together towards something, everything is fleeting. You can’t build meaningful relationships since your colleagues keep changing given short projects, it’s always off to the next. You don’t feel a sense of togetherness, something feels a little off, hence the loneliness
