People who genuinely see people, listen to them, remember what’s going on in their lives, ask and care how they are, are the shoulder to lean on...How are YOU doing?

Not great. I am always putting others before me and recently dated a girl who has the same passion for healing others. I felt like I finally had the support I needed in return. I felt like I could give her the same support and when we got home we had each other to recharge. Well things got difficult and she left me. Now I am feeling terribly alone again. I love being there for people and making sure everyone is good and I can always put you before me out of compassion but to be honest nobody ever really checks in on me. Not the same way atleast. It's just hard walking this path but also carrying the burden of being lonely and somehow not good enough for people to engage in my life. Having her leave me left me feeling inadequate and not good enough for her. The excuses she uses to leave really dug into my core. Not spiritual enough or doing enough or just not enough of a man to he with a woman like her. When really all I want is to love. Everyone. Judgment free. Thanks for asking it feels good to vent.
