You’ve just about had enough. Everyone needs something from you but when you need something? Crickets. Romantic relationships have only added to your stress, and you can never seem to do anything right in the eyes of your partner. Insecurities bring out the worst in you, and none of the changes you’ve tried to make to yourself—inside or out—make any difference. The ambitions you have for your career are big, but when you think about the future, you feel stuck in a rut. You feel lonely, even though you have family and friends around you all the time. And telling them how you feel? Not an option. They’d only use it against you later.
