Is it normal that I really want to have a boyfriend very badly?

[Anonymous]

One that likes me for more than just looks and actually loves me.

I have diagnosed (mdd) major depressive disorder and think maybe if I have a boyfriend than I wouldn’t feel so shitty and worthless.

I’m in 11th grade but in online school because of Covid so I’m not even sure how I’m going to find one.

You know what the day do you start loving yourself I mean truly loving yourself that's when it will happen because if you're down and out people are going to feel that energy from you that's hard to get a boyfriend but if you're happy go lucky and you smile and you laugh guys pick up on that and then that's when they'll start picking up on you

Girl, I am so sorry that you're going through a rough phase. Yes, it's completely normal. 😊 Craving for someone who'd care is totally normal. And I'm sending you lots of love and positivity. 😊 😊 You can talk more about it. I'm here to help you. 😊

Peer pressure, happens all the time so I guess it's normal. Don't expect a guy to just slide into your life and make it perfect tho, you have to want to actually get better to get better.

I was trying to before but my step dad has been making it harder. He just moved in recently and home used to be a peaceful place for me but now it’s not. I don’t even get my room anymore so I’ve just been trying to work and save money to get out as soon as I can

You can't have one. Depression is a real bummer. I'm speaking with experience, mom has it.

Do you want a boyfriend or do you want sex or do you want a place to live it's okay if you are honest we are way past judgments here plus your Anonymous so that helps.

[Asker]

I just want someone to talk to and that will care about me

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I hear that just make sure you don't expect to fix your world manage your expectations make sure you are here for a good time

[Dvchill]

So a friend?

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe she wants to friend with benefits

[SamFromFL]

That sounds rough when you don’t find peace at home

[SamFromFL]

How world a boyfriend give you worth?

[Asker]

Because than at least someone would care about me and I could have someone I trust to talk to

[SamFromFL]

A friend does all that. Doesn’t need to be a boyfriend

[SamFromFL]

Why don’t you get your own room?

[Asker]

I lost almost all my friends before the pandemic because I realized they were really fake and not there for me. I only have one friend right now and I’m now realizing they probably aren’t the best person.

I do get my own room, it’s just my room doesn’t have a door anymore. My stepdad told my mom that it was rude I lock the door in her house, they deserve to see what I’m doing in my room since I’m not grown so now I don’t have a door.

I know I’m not grown but I’m 15 almost 16, I think it’s stupid I have to do that plus I don’t even know my stepdad since I only met him a few weeks ago so I don’t trust him but if I tell my mom that she’s going to get mad.

[SamFromFL]

They just got married this summer? You need a door for privacy. That’s not a reason for your mom to get mad

[Asker]

It’s because she says she choose him because she knows he’s a good man and she thinks he can be a good father for me but we have arguments because she wants to have more kids with him but I don’t want her to because when my actual dad got remarried and had kids that’s when he started to stop talking to me so I don’t want the same to happen with my mom.

I also don’t like that she married him so quick either, I don’t think you can really know a person until maybe a year at least and even at that point I don’t know if that’s long enough to know someone to marry

[Asker]

They got married last year but In a different country, he only came here this year cause his immigration papers and everything were all set

[SamFromFL]

You are scared she will abandon you like your dad did. Then you will be all alone. That sucks

[Dvchill]

Never place your worth in someone else’s hands. Your worth comes intrinsically from yourself

[SamFromFL]

My worth comes from God
