No need to rush into love or getting girlfriends/boyfriends and stuff. Especially if you're 19! Enjoy life and things will come along, those are never things you can force or rush, trust me. When you look really hard, you never find it, and when you don't look, it always comes around.
Don't ever change because you think you're not attractive enough or smart or cute or funny enough to fall in love. Because if someone falls in love with you for that reason, they didn't fall in love with you, they fell in love with who you changed yourself into.
Dude...you're 19. You have a lot of life left to live. Just because your heart isn't broken yet doesn't mean it should be. Love's not easy - trust me. It's a lot more painful than what you're going through right now. It's not all roses and chocolates and kissing. You change your entire life for the person you fall in love with. every fight or argument weighs on you after it happens, and if a breakup happens, it's like your entire life is falling apart. And even when it heals, if it heals, you still leave a piece of you with that person. Still though, love is beautiful, and for me if I didn't have my love I wouldn't have anything. My love is all I have. I understand why you want it...but be careful. Don't get desperate and settle for the first person that comes along.

Just happened to see your drawing as I was logging out and thought I'd sign back in to leave a quick comment.
I understand what it's like to be alone. I'm 53 and still single (never been married, no kids, been engaged twice, ...you get the idea). I was 22 years old when I finally had my first date (I was stationed in San Diego at the time when I was in the Navy). Only had a couple of dates with her. Anyway, it was several years later before I had another date (was in college). Been in various relationships, but nothing has worked out for me yet.
Anyway, hang in there...I know it sucks, but maybe you'll find someone who will accept you for as you are and something will come of it. Each time, try to learn something from it -- what was "right", what wasn't, but don't beat yourself up over it if it doesn't work (been there, done that...it don't help). Hopefully you still have a lot of years ahead of you to find someone. The reality of my situation is that I may or may not have much time left in this life -- I almost died in January (heart attack, v-fib cardiac arrest), but I beat the (very low) odds and am still alive and twitchin'. I gotta finish writing my trilogy and drawing all of my characters (got the first book done, working on the 2nd)!
If you want, pop on over to SoFurry.com and check out my artwork there...I think you might find something of interest (might check the folder with my old stuff -- there's a couple in there that you can relate to, I think).

Take care, be safe, and know that Nature will take care of her own.

What the others said...don't try to rush things. Many of us before you have learned that particular lesson the hard way, so there is very good reason why we're all telling you to just enjoy life. Love will happen when and where and with whom it will in its own time and way. When it does, sometimes you have to get out of your own way and go with the flow. Yes, be careful, of course, and be sure to listen to your instincts.
Oh, and be careful about the "dying" part...I've come way too close for comfort on more than one occasion and in more than one way.
You've got people here (at least) who care enough to talk with you about what you're feeling, so you're not really alone.

What I meant with dying was that I would rather be with someone that staying alone, I know a lot of ppl tells me that I need to slow down, I have friends yes, a few and I dont see them anymore, I rly dont get out to paties or something cuz I dont hang out with friends, I been like over protected my whole life so that why Im mot so social and Im tired of it.
I understand. I For me, my family moved to Missouri from up north (originally from Iowa) back in the '60's, so I had it kinda rough in school. Everybody knew I wasn't from around here -- all I had to do was open my mouth and say something with my Irish / Iowa accent. I was actually called a "carpet bagger" (the kids probably didn't know the term "Mick", otherwise I would've been called that, too). Since I wasn't born here, lived out in the country, lived near the prison (where my dad worked as the Superintendent of Industries, #3 person at the top), and everybody thought I was "weird" (gee, a smart kid that liked science and tech, plus who drew pictures...go figure), so I ended up having only a couple of friends (both also lived out in the country, and are smart, etc). We lived in town briefly when we first moved here, but ended up back out in the country.
I was pretty much a quiet kid and kept to myself, got along better with animals than I did with people, and I hated social situations (crowds, too). Well, a lot of things changed after I went into the Navy -- boot camp kind of does that to you, I guess. :P After I got out of the Navy, I was, of course, much changed by my experiences. And after eventually going on to college, busting tail to get my degrees in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering (no partying for me), I'm definitely different than I used to be. Oh, I still have my very warped sense of humor, and am still a walking encyclopedia (as one of my friends calls me), but I'm changed because of the things I've been through in this life.
I still don't party...never has been my thing, though those friends of mine from way back in middle school and high school, plus some I made in the Navy, we're still friends 35-40+ years later. :)
One other thing, and this is one of those kinda annoying things in life that you'll eventually notice -- when you're young, time seems to crawl; when you get older, it seems to speed up and go by quickly and you end up wondering where it went.
As I look at things now, every day that I wake up is another day I get to live, maybe learn or experience something different; when I go to bed, I think, "well, I've had one more day to live and did the best I could with what I have...and got some more done on my story."
I do empathize with you, and wish I could say something that would make it better for you, though you at least have someone who will listen.

Well, this is kinda cringy now :P
After this years I see how I have changed from these comments, my english was kinda bad at that time and also... this is almost 7 years old. At this point, I see life much much differently now, I have had 2 relationships, 1st was 1y1m 2nd lasted 2months and I gotta say mostly what I've been told was true...
First one ended bad, impacting my emotional stability and health... Second was a mistake of filling an empty space with something too rushed.
I broke up in both of these cases, even though within the last few years the last person became an incredible friend, I also have experienced weird parts of my life.
I'm high right now, writing this even though I barely write something for myself... and by the time that has passed I mostly want to leave this as some sort of entry on a journal.
Siento que debería hablar más español... creo que no le doy mucho crédito a mi idioma nativo.
