I have a lot to be thankful for, but I long for a deep relationship with someone.

I’m in my 40s. I’m not married but I have the most beautiful kid and such a long list of good things in my life. But, I’m lonely to the core. <br><br>I don’t understand why humans can’t be taught how to connect to each other. I’m tired of superficial conversations and connections. I want to talk to someone the way I would talk to myself if I were the person I feel a connection with except, it’s not me. <br><br>I am not ugly, I’m healthy and do just fine. I put myself out there but nothing ever leads to deep intimacy. I’m tired of finding my own answers to questions, tired of trying to figure out how to grow and mature without someone by my side.
