I struggle with this too. Ppl here are going to say to get some hobbies, friends, spend time with loved ones, get educated, make money, travel etc which is all great but it has to start with the mind. I’m not sure if you are depressed bc I know I am. Even when I go to the gym or meet new ppl, I’m mentally not in a good place bc of my negative thoughts and stewing in the past. I know this might not sound like great advice bc I struggle too but you have to convince yourself (I struggle with this too) that you can be content on your own.

I think it helps to find single and divorced women to look up to. Many female celebrities could literally have almost any man they wanted and choose to remain single to keep their finances secure, to protect themselves/children, to avoid public scrutiny/drama, etc. And not just celebrities, you should look for examples in your life, the friends of friends, the aunts who travel, the boss babe at work, etc. Fill your social media feeds with these types of women who exude self love.
