how do i stop feeling the uncontrollable need to love someone, and to be loved as well?
im doing terrible enough wanting nice friends, and the love game is destroying me on top of that
is there a way to make my life not revolve around these 2 things?, im pretty damn shallow, nothing fills me anymore, other than talking to other people or being in a cute romance
Bump because of same situation lolololol

same, why cant i be self sufficient :(
This is actually related to a lack of oxytocin which is released by being in physical contact with a person.
Oxytocin provides an incredible relief for body-destroying stress, (cortisol) which is why you subconsciously crave it.
Where is the stress coming from?

start doing things for yourself. make a plan on what to do in advance.
don't wait to the last minute, crave something then begrudgingly give in to temptation and feel bad about it. that's NOT treating yourself.
take yourself to the beach. go on walks. go out to eat at a nice restaurant on your own. think of what you like to do on a date, and do it by yourself.treat yourself well and you'll be happy with yourself.
give into temptation at the last minute and you'll just hate yourself for not saving money or eating junk food or whatever it is you were trying to avoid.
