There we go, we're getting somewhere now! Thank you for responding to my questions, you've definitely given some new insights and explanations.

It sounds like you're a very social person, so that's a good place to start. Is there anything going on near you that you could become involved in, such as a club or organisation? You could take up a new hobby or pick up one you used to be involved in, and use that as a starting point in order to make new friends and start feeling better. Just remember not to put all of your hopes onto one person being that ''special someone'' who will magically make everything okay. Instead, think about the fact that people make you happy, and that there are always going to be new people you can meet and befriend or even help.

As far as safe havens go, here's a thought: what if you were your own haven? Even extroverts need time to themselves, and it's important to be comfortable in your own company. What are some activities you could do by yourself that would make you happy? For example, you could try hiking or meditating. If you can rely on yourself and feel okay when alone, you'll find that your relationships with other people will benefit greatly - you'll know you're spending time with them because you want to, not because you're scared of being lonely. So take some time every now and then to just be alone, and see if you can come to enjoy it.

Finally, do you have any outlets for your emotions? It can help take the edge off negative feelings, like loneliness or emptiness, if you have some other way to express or explore them - for example journalling or creative writing. If you don't, it's definitely something you should look into.
