>Imagine growing up without ever having felt loved.
Unlike the vast majority of Americans, I grew up in a very loving and intact family that seriously loves me. I'm White, good-looking, and in decent shape despite being a manlet at 5' 7". And yet I still ended up with nothing outside of my family, money, and education as a result of things that were about a 1/3 in my control and 2/3 not. They are the only people that have ever loved me, and that is likely to be the case for the rest of my life.
>Or even more importanly, loved someone else
I had a GF once, she was 17 and I was 20. We were together for a few months before it all fell apart largely due to my own decisions and inexperience. I loved her but couldn't communicate that to her, while circumstances in my life at the time made it really difficult and later as I would find out impossible for me to stay together with her. In retrospect, she was pretty much my soulmate, but I fucked it up and now I'm spirited away to where I am now.
>having only ever cared about themselves.
Not prioritizing my own pleasure/well-being with regards to friends and love and instead pursuing educational and financial security/independence is the biggest reason I'm still alone.
>lol
And I bet you're alone too, only difference being you have sex every now and then with some random bitch
