> She always says to me something like, "You'll find someone who
likes you just like you are."
I know, that sort of thing brings my blood to a boil. But you have to remember that if she's saying that sort of thing, she can't help it.
Women (arguably just like all people) are short-sighted. When they say something like that, they really are just trying to make you feel better. They don't realise that they could be wrong, or that it makes you angry or upset on the inside. They think they've raised your hopes. They think they've done some good for you. They've inadvertently chosen the short term benefit of comforting you over the long term goal of improving yourself so that the statement does ring true.
Anyway, hearing stuff like that won't do you any good. Next time she tells you, ask her why she believes that. She can't help it, but if you can stop her, it'll be better for you in the long run.
As for the loneliness problem, >>25 has covered it pretty well. The only thing I have to add is that in order for someone else to find you and your life good enough to be a part of, you need to learn how to be your own man first.
