Lonelier than in lockdown

[Caramel Latte]

I spent lockdown with family. I somehow found ways to keep myself occupied. I was/am still single.
Now with everything reopening where i live, I feel more lonely. I feel like I'm missing out on things, i feel like i want attention. Don't blame me please 🥲.
Especially that for the past month a guy was interested in me and we were constantly chatting. Now that he isn't anymore, i find myself craving this attention.

I'm sure someone out there feels the same way! I know that wanting attention is frowned upon but it's what i feel rn, and where is a better place to confess than on tattle

Nothing wrong with wanting a little attention, considering what is going on.

I'm available for a chat might do me some good as well.

I feel you. Sorry I don't have any advice but I absolutely get it. The boredom of lockdown is setting in, and we all just want to get back to normal and go out. I want attention from men too! Just some nice self esteem boosting interest that makes me feel attractive... but it's hard to get when everything is closing down and as a higher risk person, I shouldn't be going to bars anyway!

Edit: esp as I had a bypass last year and lost a ton of weight. I have nice clothes, I feel confident, and it's all being wasted whilst I'm shut in my house. I want to take my clothes off in front of someone and have them at my body.

One of the best things I ever learnt to do was to be happy on my own. When you rely on others for attention to make you happy it’s a bad place to be.

I learned that too, but a little attention is harmless if controlled properly, if you over do it, that can get a little nasty.
