When I was your age, I felt the same and so I rushed into a relationship with someone the moment they showed interest in me. It was incredibly toxic and traumatizing and ultimately, now that I’ve met the love of my life at 24, if I could go back and undo that first relationship and have stayed single until I met her, I would. It’s not a race to the finish line, it’s about finding the right one. There’s nothing for you to be ashamed of.
