Like I know i’m not lonely and that I have friends and families always by my side, and i shouldn’t worry about finding true love. But idk, whenever i see love stories, or see couples in my feeds, at campus, etc… i just have sudden thoughts of loneliness. Despite being 20, maybe I’m still just an immature brat that doesn’t know how to control his feeling.

you're definitely not alone, you just want a romantic relationship

I think that is definitely the case. I just don’t know how to suppress it.

Look, the honest truth is that you can't really suppress that feeling in a healthy, lasting way, and trying to force it down usually just makes it come back stronger (or turns into frustration, resentment, or weird emotional pressure).

The healthier move isn't suppression, it's acceptance and gentle redirection
Those feelings are super normal and just the fact that you acknowledge is already a great step. And you already know, you are not alone

Yeah, you’re right. I should change my mindset, I shouldn’t see this as a problem but an opportunity to find the right path. Thanks

It’s probably my kid mindset of “single forever” or the fact that I’m not ready for the hardship of a relationship that’s making me want to suppress it.

well you clearly have a desire so you might feel more ready than you think

you CANT control your feelings. its literally impossble. and there is nothing wrong with that, it just is the way it is.

and longing for someone is natural, you’re the exact age that your evolved brain wants to find a mate, no?

imo you should not ask how to supress your feelings, but instead how to react to them

True, I’m probably just panicking because of changes. I should just take things slow and learn. Thanks

unc u just gotta realize theres nothing worrying will do to help so just try to tell yourself to stop. At least for me once i got used to doing that enough I stopped worrying a lot more
