This post needs to remind all robots that it will be okay if we recognize that we do deserve love.

rare feel
But the problem is that I realise that I deserve love but nobody is actually willing to give it to me. And if anyone was willing to give it to me, I'd be too shy to actually get close with them.
That movie was fucking garbage and I feel bad for letting it make me feel bad.

This is certainly a nice sentiment and I can see how it would be tempting to accept it as a way of staving off despair. Regardless of how lonely one is, how despised one is, there would always be the knowledge that someday one will at long last be loved because such affection is every person's birthright.
That notion is a completely understandable one. Nature has instilled in her children the need to be desired, to be wanted and considered beautiful. It would be the height of cruelty if She did so and withheld from some of those children the qualities that make being desired possible.
Sadly, the only thing that prevents Nature from justifiably being considered a sadist is that, not being sentient, She doesn't have the ability to derive pleasure from Her acts of neglect. She afflicts all of Her children with hunger pains even though there are some that will starve. She grants life to infants and has no compunction about murdering them the moment after they draw their first breath. And She inspires the drive to be loved in even Her most hideous children, even though She Herself would despise them were She capable of hatred.
The only ones who deserve to be loved are the lovable. A man with a sensitive spirit who works kind acts certainly deserves to be regarded as good, but that does not earn him the right to be considered desirable. And a virtuous monster whose charity a woman celebrates in the light of day when reason holds sway will be the same she has nightmares about in the dead of night, those dark moments when her flesh is far more sincere than her mind could ever hope to be.
It would be nice to believe we all deserve to be loved. But even the most beautiful lies can never be anything more than empty dreams. And as lovely as those dreams may be, they don't last forever. Eventually, you wake up.

you can deserve something and never get it. you can deserve to be loved and be alone forever. that you are not loved does not mean that you do not deserve love.
"deserve's got nothin to do with it"
