A chat on 4chan

You don't really sound too different from most anons here. Having time alone is important in any relationship, it isn't a luxury but a healthy expectation.
Love isn't found also, it is built through mutual efforts.

To be honest it sounds to me like you're brooding overly mostly nothing, I'm not seeing any actual solid impediments or reasons to you being in a wholesome relationship.
Like I said before, think of why exactly you attract the clingy kind and how you enable them. Also think if you're actually prepared for a relationship, to pull your weight and support your lover.

I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to everything in my life.
I just hope that one day, things work out. I really want to build something wonderful one day. Just need patience I guess.

How old are you? How/where did you meet your previous partners?

I'm 25
It was either through school, or people from 4chan (you can already go ahead and laugh).
It's been a while I've had any relationship. I can see around me some women and men that look at me like they like me that way, but everytime I think 'what if they just end up eating all my time?' and I don't try anything. It's horrible.

I wouldn't laugh at the 4chan part because getting to know each other through long conversations is the most important stepping stone. That's not something you generally get from meeting locals out of physical attraction.

Do you have actual, long term friends you engage with consistently?

I do have some long term friends, but some months can pass by without us talking. My best friends are people who I can stop talking for months on end, then come back, and we talk like we saw each other yesterday. Other than that? Not really. I have a much better relationship with my family because the distance is expected, and yet it's always nice to see each other.
