How can I know what it's like to be loved, and love? I am alone in every moment of my life, even around people. I take refuge in moments where I thought I had direction, but I know that is the past.

You can't really appreciate being in love at all if you don't love yourself first. When people love you and you don't love yourself, you doubt their intentions and it becomes a point of anxiety. When you're IN LOVE but you don't love yourself, you doubt your ability to keep this person and on top of that fear that your feelings won't be returned or are not genuine. This also causes anxiety. Your picture is pretty spot on.
