I totally get you and I'm with you on this one 😞; it's rough out there. I've been there too, feeling like you're starving for someone's love and attention. It ain't desperate; it's just human. Folks don't get how serious this stuff is...Self-harming thoughts are no joke, and it's frustrating when people brush them off;;; it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes 😡. But honestly, hang tight and keep pushing through. Sometimes finding that love and support starts with digging deep and being kind to yourself. You're not alone; we've all got our personal battles. Wishing you strength and better vibes ahead.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way right now. Whatever you're going through, please know that you’re not alone, and your feelings are completely valid. It’s okay to seek comfort and lean on others when things feel overwhelming. You deserve kindness, love, and support—both from yourself and from those around you. I hope you find moments of peace and warmth soon, and if you ever need to vent, there are people who care and want to listen. Sending you a big virtual hug. 💙

Look, I get wanting love, but thinking self-harm is the way to cope just ain’t it. Saying you’re 'starving' for love like it’s the only thing that matters is way off base.

I used to think the same way, but trust me, it’s not the answer. When you rely on others to fill that void, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. I remember thinking that if someone loved me, everything would be fixed—but that’s just not real life.

You gotta find other ways to deal with stuff instead of harming yourself. It just won’t end well. 😥

Emotions can be crazy tough to handle, and wanting love is totally normal. It’s okay to feel desperate sometimes, but self-harm ain’t a good path—it just adds more pain to the mix and doesn’t solve anything.


I get why you feel this way, and it’s important to find better ways to cope. Finding support and talking to someone can help a lot.


Keep strong and look for more helpful outlets for your feelings. Time will help, trust me...

i get you're feeling low and craving love but let's be real self-harm ain't the answer do you really think that's gonna solve anything?? like when you're "starving for love" it's a cry for help not an excuse to hurt yourself man i used to think external validation was the fix too but ended up more messed up why not try focusing on building inner strength instead?? have you ever thought about talking to someone who can actually help???

wow, your story really hits home; it's not easy dealing with feelings of loneliness and the overwhelming craving for love. i totally get how you're feeling when you say you're "starving for someone's love," because that kind of emotional void can be so consuming. understanding the psychological implications of self-harm is crucial, and your honesty sheds light on how serious things can get. finding ways to address these emotions with healthier coping mechanisms is vital. reaching out to someone and discussing these complex feelings can often bring unexpected clarity and relief. have you considered exploring therapeutic interventions or support groups to create a more constructive environment for yourself?

hey, your feelings are totally valid and make a lot of sense, especially when you say you're "starving for someone's love;" emotional hunger can feel really intense. it can be tough when you're caught in that loop of negative thoughts, but there's always a silver lining somewhere. try to keep your head up and remember that reaching out can help change things. have you ever tried talking to someone about this??? finding a trusted friend or a counselor might offer some new perspectives and support. hang in there, things can get better! 😊

hey, i totally get where you're coming from. feeling like you're "starving for someone's love" is a tough gig to handle; been there myself, and it ain't easy. sometimes it feels like nobody gets it, and it's just you against the world. but seriously, finding that inner peace and self-love can be game-changers. i used to think i needed someone else to feel complete, but focusing on what makes me happy made all the difference. hang in there, and know you're not alone in this, even if it feels like it sometimes.
