I have almost never once gotten any good male attention, it makes me feel sad sometimes

Well, as the title says, I (21) have never once gotten any decent male attention for as long as I remember, no somebody being a little extra attentive, no someone trying to become closer or to learn more about me, not even a silly middle or highschool crush, nothing

It isn't the center of my life, really, I have friends, a family, a really busy life with studies and activities and volunteering and interests

It's just frustrating sometimes

And almost every single one of my friends has a story or a few stories like these to gossip about, it is not a feeling left out situation, I just really have no idea why this never seems to happen with me, I know for a fact that nothing is wrong with me

And, yes, I do yearn to feel a little bit wanted or more cared for or have somebody interested in me or choosing to listen to me or anything really

It's not like I'm chasing male validation or anything, I just want to understand sometimes, and maybe experience it too

Also, I have - for some reason - entirely stopped having crushes or romantic feelings towards any guy for like the past 2 years, I might think someone is handsome or really nice, but that's about it, just a one- so yeah, I can't even have the imaginary butterflies that come with one-sided crushes and imaginary scenarios anymore
