I'm 22 years old from a traditional Asian countries. Around me i see a lot of successful marriages. My parents are wonderful people and I haven't ever experienced a paucity of love.

However, off late I've been suffering. I crave romance and flirting. Most of my friends are romantically involved. And it pains me. It's undeniable that it's a facade. If it isn't I'm happy for them. But I'm unable to repress this craving. And it seems it'll engulf me. Quite honestly it's debilitating.

The desire isn't sexuak at all. It's the yearning to be loved, to be cared for. Seeing my acquaintances with their lovers is excruciating. I need guidancence to overcome this.
