(23F) so I have the worst luck with dating. Men don't find me physically attractive because I'm physically disabled, so I struggle to find intimacy, connection, and romance with other men irl. Therefore, sometimes a random guy online will dm me and it starts off as a normal conversation, but then it escalates to flirting and more (I don't want to say it but you get the big picture). I'm tired of doing this to myself. I want to self improve and stop this cycle of chasing for a short-term high to fill the emptiness inside of me. Do you have any genuine advice you could give me for someone who's single and lonely? also please do not mention dating apps or hookup apps, they do not work for me at all.
I just want to know how to deal with being single until I can find a potential boyfriend one day.
Edit: I mean what do I do in the meantime to make myself stop feeling lonely and craving intimacy from strange men online? Should I just start a new hobby? Or distract myself with hobbies? Or crochet? What do I do?? I feel like distractions isn't enough most days.
