Greetings,
Recently, something has been troubling me, and I wasn’t sure who I could talk to about it. Then I thought who better than you to ask for guidance? I also feel that this issue is something many people struggle with, and the solutions you suggest might help them as well.

I am grateful for my life. I do well in my university studies and have a good relationship with the gods. Although I am introverted and enjoy solitude, the absence of love bothers me. The gods always advise me to learn to live with loneliness (in a positive sense) and not become dependent, and I know this is for my own good, especially since I want to go to another country for further studies and will be far from my friends and family.

I am not straight, and where I live, this is forbidden, which makes me feel even lonelier. Some time ago, I told Lady Astarte that I felt lonely, and a few days later I met someone on X (Twitter). I even painted his face and sent it to him, and he was happy. But well, he’s just an internet friend; it’s unlikely that our connection will become truly platonic or meaningful, and that bothers me. He never realizes whether I’m sad or happy, and I don’t think he even cares. I both enjoy being alone and suffer from it. I feel the absence of love, yet at the same time, I despise it.

I’ve met other people too, both at university and online and I’ve wanted to have a close relationship with them, but it seems impossible. Although I’m somewhat popular, at best they only see me as an ordinary friend. Could you please help me figure out how to overcome emotional dependency?

Thank you
 
I would listen to the advice of the Gods here, learn to live with solitude enjoy it and take advantage of all the time you have to meditate and advance your soul. This is how you get to truly know yourself and the God within, the soul speaks in silence. Read Apollo's final Virtue "Know Thyself." You have everything you need within yourself, there is no need to depend on anyone else.

This does not mean you need to shun all love and relationships, so give yourself a chance to put yourself out there and open up to others who you feel deserve this and are open to this.

If you have that wonderful astral openness why won't you try first God relationships and loves? There are God Friends and HPS Maxine had wonderful God Friends throughout her life. Here is what I could find:

In the end of the post with all other great literature I found some on great loves in Gentile history:
