The story

if i was your daughter, what would you say so that she doesn't keep on thinking of self-harming more than she has so far and give up on life? i'm starving for someone's love and it doesn't matter if i sound overly desperate anymore. pls?

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...
