I've never had a crush or romantic interest and a platonic friendship wouldn't satisfy me. I've tried many times to practice religion but I guess it's just not for me. I don't know what to do I'm tired of depending on myself and myself alone. I don't think a human being could ever love me as much as I want and even then I wouldn't want that.

Just stop "needing" that stuff. You're gonna die alone in soiled sheets like the rest of us. Grow the fuck up.
