So a little about me:

I'm Tristan, a 25 year-old Singaporean-American Female to Male transgender person. [Yeah it's a mouthful.] But that's beside the point.

As of this typing, I have been single for about 8 months or so, but my therapist has been asking me quite a few times in our more recent sessions when I'll be dating once more. I have told him that I'm simply not interested in finding anyone but in the most recent session, he said he's worried that I'm turned off by love due to past emotional/verbally abusive relationships.

To be honest, part of me feels nothing when it comes to romance/finding a date but at the same time, it gets lonely whenever my brother's girlfriend [Did I mention how cute she is?] comes over to our place.

What do?

This reply is probably not going to be helpful, but I will share my thoughts anyway.

What you are experiencing is only a problem if you actually are avoiding (consciously or not) relationships due to your past experiences. I get that some people approach relationships as a constant trial and error thing through actively dating, but there is nothing wrong with waiting for the right person to come into your life if you are not interested in seeking something out right now.

I second Valenas 100%. You shouldn't push yourself into anything. Sometimes it's good to be alone and give yourself a good long time to heal and sort things out. Hopefully your therapist will understand that.
