I too struggle with feeling unloved at times, and am terrified at the thought of even one person in my life saying they don't care about me.
I have never been in an abusive relationship nor have I been sexually abused, so I can't say anything about not wanting to be intimate. But I do know that friends are hard to make and keep, I just don't have the energy to socialize, and always keep everyone at arms length.
But like some of you have said, that could just be a symptom of the abuse, not wanting to get close enough to somebody so as to avoid any future abuse.
Whenever the girls at my Sunday group talk with each other, they seem to have normal conversations. But when they talk with me, it's like they talk differently towards me.
Everyone has done this with me, except for the sister of my mentor. She has been a huge blessing to me.
