Has anyone else never been loved?

[Blomdd]

This is something that's been swirling around in my head for a while since I've started dating again. I was in a horribly abusive relationship for years. Before this I had 3 relationships that lasted between a year and two years. I've never been in love, and nobody has ever been in love with me. I have reached a point where I feel like I'm just not the sort of person someone falls in love with. It's getting me down and I feel really unworthy. Has anyone ever felt like this into their 30s and met someone who has treasured them?

I am 42 never had a boyfriend till I was 31 was off on with him for years because he was alcoholic he went to prison for 4 years I waited for him sent him money in give him clothes he come out 3 months later dumped me by text blocked me on everything I am heartbroken but I think he is a narcissist

OP, it’s very cliche but they say you need to love yourself first, before others can love you back.

I’ve come to realise there is truth in this. The best thing we can do is work on our self love, the rest will follow.
