Is this normal or am I messed up?

[Rnjura]

I'm single and always looking for love and mostly my soulmate I would love that it's something that keeps on playing in my head 24/7 but I'm scared of getting hurt, disappointed, or never being loved is this normal?

I don't know. I probably took the opposite tact. I never worried about it. I always just figured I would meet someone and all of it would fall into place (not saying that I didn't realize relationships take effort).

But when I reached my mid to late twenties I thought, ok I'll be someone who meets someone in thier 30's.

Then in my 30's I thought ok well I'll meet someone past my middle age.

Then at 40 I thought ok I'll give it another decade.

And now facing down almost 50 I've just accepted I'm going to stay single.

At this point I just wished I hadn't waited for someone that was never coming.

That sad and heartbreaking

At times I think that way. Then I look at friends of mine who've found there someone and years. later gotten divorced. I mean it sucks I've always been single. But I've never had to deal with divorce either.
I guess what I'm saying is when you get to this age it's less sad. Because you realize how low your odds are of ever meeting someone that you can be forever with. Very few relationships are capable of that.

Ah, the quest for love, a journey filled with highs, lows, and everything in between! Feeling scared of getting hurt or the disappointment of unreciprocated feelings is as normal as craving that deep, soulmate-level connection. Love, in all its glory and pain, stirs up our deepest fears and highest hopes. Remember, it's okay to be cautious, but don't let fear hold you back from experiencing the beauty of falling in love. Embrace the journey, learn from each interaction, and who knows, your soulmate might just be around the corner! And remember, it's all part of the rollercoaster ride of love. Anyone else feeling the thrill (or the fear) of the chase? Let's dive into this love abyss together! 😘💕

You're human. EVERYONE wonders if they will feel the pain of unrequited love.
