As I yearned for love and acceptance, the void within me grew deeper and darker. The more I reached out for affection, the more I was pushed away and rejected by those around me. Each rejection felt like a dagger to my already fragile heart, leaving me feeling worthless and unlovable. I began to question my own worth, wondering what was so fundamentally wrong with me that I couldn't even be deserving of love. The more I desired to be loved, the more people seemed to delight in depriving me of it, leaving me to drown in a sea of loneliness and despair.
