It’s random but I feel like I can’t be loved. Not in an angsty edgy way I mean as in even when people show affection I just do not feel anything besides uncomfortable. It feels like they’re lying or something. Even when I know they’re not it just feels like I do not deserve it or that I’ll ruin everything if I try to like them back. I don t really understand the concept of relationships and all that to me it feels unreal and strange. I’ve heard people say that I may be aromantic but I don’t think that’s the case because I do really want to feel love and romance I just don’t know how
      Why is it hard to be loved?

To say it simply, Your self awareness is higher than the average people!
And from my experience I can say that ,I have felt pure disgust when I figured out what truly is hiding in the term called love. But I have to accept it, the plan called love is truly a brilliance.

Maybe it's a self esteem thing and those feelings mess with you subconsciously. You could be aromantic bc wanting to feel romantic attraction and actually feeling it is different. It's rlly complicated and I hope this helps a lil bit bc I also delt with this for a while. For me it was anxiety of being perceived by anyone bc I was scared of looking like an attention seeker or too babyish.
Yeah you might be right. I always feel like there’s no way anyone can look at me and feel a good emotion about me so I resort to either not talking at all or talking but only about things that aren’t about me. Very scared that people can see how horrible I am

Keep in mind there's so many versions of ourselves that other ppl see of us so it's definitely possible that ppl can see you as something better than you feel that you are. Our thoughts and feelings aren't always facts. What might help with self love is spending time with yourself and learning to be happy with your own company, like just doing hobbies or watching a show and expressing yourself. You arent what other ppl think Abt you and you aren't just what you think Abt yourself, you are everything you do and what makes you you and it's better to embrace those things that you will always have to yourself than focusing on the things that ppl might judge.
