Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• We’re both trying so hard and somehow both ending up feeling unloved, and I’m starting to think we’re each pouring love in the exact form we’d want to get it back
• I’ve stopped trying because some part of me has already concluded nothing I do makes a difference
• I keep waiting to feel loved enough or seen enough to feel like my life means something, and it never quite fills
• I keep waiting to "meet the right people" but honestly my days are built so I barely cross paths with anyone new the same way twice
• I can never answer "what do you love?" when someone asks me straight out
